It is often said that a “Plastibell” circumcision is painless and doesn’t involve any cutting or blood. Many people say that it is a more “gentle” circumcision without any risks. All of these statements are false. No circumcision is painless.

This method is promoted as bloodless because of a technique called “crushing”. It involves using pliers type tools to squeeze the tissue so hard that the blood is forced out of it for a short while so there is less bleeding when it is cut. Horrible! There is no such thing as bloodless removal of living tissue.

Gettin’ real fucking sick of so-called social justice advocates saying male circumcision and female circumcision have nothing in common because they believe in the west-based lie that all female circumcisions are done with sharp glass in the wilderness by witch doctors and remove all of a tween girl’s outer genitalia for the sole purpose of keeping her sexually pure, and also believe in the American-based lie that male circumcision never comes with complications, “only removes a little bit of skin”, is only done for health reasons, and never results in death or penile amputation, and also believe in the west-based lie that no women ever choose circumcision and the American-based lie that all men love their circumcision.
They’re lies steeped in ethnocentrism and racism. Poor woc need to be saved by us Good American People from the terrible religious fanatics out to destroy their sexuality! There’s never any excuse for x but y is okay because uhm America!!

The WHOLE Network: Infant’s Brush with Death After Routine Circumcision
A mother writes about her son’s ill-fated circumcision. She and her husband took their son to a urologist for a circumcision. They thought they were doing the right thing and that it was only a routine procedure. They were wrong. The boy was cut and they were sent on their way. Unfortunately, the urologist botched the circumcision and the baby started bleeding. The frantic parents finally made it to the ER. The baby boy had to be transferred to another hospital where the urologist stitched up the cut blood vessel. They were sent home, only to have another ambulance trip to the hospital because the baby boy had lost so much blood. All because the parents went with the flow and did not question the need for an infant circumcision.

Choose Intact: The New and Improved Circumcised Banana
Too many people use a banana to illustrate the penis, particularly a circumcised penis. But those images are not accurate. Tony says a green banana better represents an infant circumcision. Letting the green banana ripen better represents what happens as the baby boy grows up to be a man with a circumcised penis. It is not a pretty sight. Sadly, men who were circumcised as infants suffer from the lifelong exposure of their sex organ.

"I was born and raised on a farm in South Dakota, and when I was three years old, my mother who was concerned about the fact that I was masturbating took me to a doctor in a clinic in North Dakota, who took me to a hospital in Minnesota and removed my clitoris. My mother was at the end of the table. I remember the pain, and I also remember knowing that I couldn’t trust her any more."

Robert S. Van Howe of the Department of Pediatrics and Human Development, Michigan State University College of Human Medicine, reviews studies to determine the effects of male circumcision on various sexually transmitted diseases (STDs).
Chlamydia, gonorrhea, genital herpes, and human papillomavirus are not significantly impacted by circumcision. Intact men appear to be of greater risk for genital ulcerative disease while at lower risk for genital discharge syndrome, nonspecific urethritis, genital warts, and the overall risk of any sexually transmitted infection. In studies of general populations, there is no clear or consistent positive impact of circumcision on the risk of individual sexually transmitted infections. Consequently, the prevention of sexually transmitted infections cannot rationally be interpreted as a benefit of circumcision, and any policy of circumcision for the general population to prevent sexually transmitted infections is not supported by the evidence in the medical literature.

Study shows that infants feel and remember circumcision pain
Study shows that infants feel and remember circumcision pain
Earlier research led by this research team had indicated that male infants demonstrate a greater pain response to vaccination than female infants. The current study sought to determine whether there was a difference between circumcised and uncircumcised male infants in their pain response to vaccination, and whether pretreatment of circumcision pain with a topical anaesthetic affected the pain response to vaccination.
“What we discovered was that the infants who were uncircumcised demonstrated the least pain during vaccination,” Dr. Koren explains. Pain response was measured by monitoring the infants behaviour, including facial expression and duration of crying.
