          Yeah every time FGM comes up some weirdo tries to redirect the conversation to circumcision (and completely away from FGM, all lives matter style) as if it’s comparable which it obviously isn’t. Good to know about you

              Comparable in the same way that because I was circumcised, sex is completely unpleasant for me. /s

              Oh wait, I’m circumcised and the only impact it has had is that women have thought my dick wasn’t particularly weird. And yeah I’m not saying it’s weird not to do it, it’s just a perception I’m aware of. Women who have FGM done to them have an awful awful time that I will never know the first thing about personally, so I find it pretty shitty that people pretend it’s the same or even fucking similar because it isn’t, at alllll

                  Yeah I’m biased because I’ve had literally zero trouble. But that’s beside the point. Not comparable. Saying they are doesn’t make it so

      If I’m not mistaken, the FGM they’re referring to is cutting off their clitoris.

      To compare to circumcision would mean just trimming the clitoral hood exposing the clitoris, not cutting it off.

      I’m circumcised, they didn’t cut the entire tip off, I can still use the lil guy. Also, like the other dude said, women tend to be relieved to find out you’re circumcised.

      I see where you’re coming from, but I just don’t think comparing the two is very equal.

        Lol why would a woman care? All you do is pull back the skin and bam looks the same. My SO actually likes feeling the skin go back and forth. It’s a worthless procedure In a first world country with ample water to clean oneself. Not even that difficult to rinse.

              I imagine being in tact would feel better because it’d be protected like it’s supposed to. I haven’t had any issues with the underwear, but I did recently find underwear down at the Walmart that has a separate compartment specifically for your junk. It’s an absolute game changer. No more awkward ball pulling!

              I was just messing with you, I am bored!
