How (comparatively) boring was *YOUR* circumcision?

A bark-clad mystical figure, known as a Konkoran, stands with his entourage during a circumcision ceremony in Ziguinchor in Southern Senegal, September 11, 2005. During the August-November rainy season, young boys are circumcised during elaborate three-week ceremonies celebrated by the Manding people of Casamance. (Rose Skelton/Reuters)

1. cringe

Adult circumcision is a brutality that should not be effected upon anybody's loins...least of all by a bark-clad person looking like Elmo.

3. If it's brutal for adults

why isn't it for babies? At least adults can ask for pain meds if they're feeling bad.

5. Well...

I don't support it for babies or children either for the same reason I vertally berate people publically for clipping their dog's tail or declawing their cat, even if I don't know them. Because it's brutal, done for cosmetic reasons and without the consent of the maimed.

That having been said, I've never met a circumcised male who it was done to before the age of 1 who remembers theirs.

6. You know, Halloween is a better venue for dressing up like a freak...

Man, the poor boys.

The poor boys cut down to size...

Each of which will get a new nickname in school: "Stubby"
