DIY Circumcision Makes Writing This Post Difficult

Filed under: not funny

gga342.jpgAn English gentleman, possibly skeptical of the offerings provided by the National Health Service (NHS), decided to perform his own circumcision at home. Apparently not aided by anything other than some ethanol, the patient/physician brought a pair of nail clippers to the surgical theatre/kitchen sink. Inevitably something went terribly wrong and medics had to be brought out.

The Telegraph quotes one from the rescue team:

"This is something we would advise men never to attempt," a medic said, "The results can be quite horrific and long-lasting and have quite an affect on a man's sexual performance.

"Using a pair of nail clippers must have caused excruciating pain, even if he had had a few drinks beforehand."

Any kind of circumcision has horrifying, damaging, life-long effects on a man's sexual performance. I feel awful for this man, who clearly was brainwashed by the media and mainstream medicine and believed it necessary to remove a healthy, functional part of his genitals. I hope he seeks psychological help immediately, and I wish him a fast recovery. It is shameful and an enduring atrocity to human rights that circumcision is still legal at all, especially infant circumcision. End the bloodshed NOW.

The liberty brigade, fighting for the rights of uncircumcised infants, is here. The concern these people have for the tips of penile skin is truly incredible. Fight on, valiant soldiers, the unyielding force for freedom that you are. No brigade of such fearless troops has existed before.

I t is because of this liberal anti-circumcision brigade that men have to go out of there way to get cut. If the medical fraternity was more open about cutting men that wants it done, for what ever reason, something like this will not happen at home.

So allow people that want to cut the right to get cut. I was cut later in life and can understand why some men want it done. Knowing what I know now, I would even recommend it if some one ask me what I think about circumcision.
