Some people are waaaaaay off the rocker.
Admin is right — autocircumcision is a stupid and absolutely misused word; and I personally really really dislike it too, in part for that, in part because I dislike circumcision to begin with.
Agreed. And that's what I find strange about that thread, the fact there are people arguing that because we choose to retract our foreskins we have some sort of fetish for circumcision. I personally have very strong opinions against circumcision, but if an adult wants to get circumcised that's their decision and their decision alone. And if an adult wants to wear their skin back then that's their decision. Just as if a man wants to grow his hair long, or if a woman wants to have their hair cut short, that's their decision. Maybe it's not the societal norm, but they're entitled to do what they want with their own body as long as they're not hurting anyone else.
The opinions on that thread seem to suggest a great deal of tunnel vision. I can appreciate that their opinions are probably coloured by the fact that they were circumcised at a young age and are now actively trying to restore their lost foreskins, but I find it surprising that they seem to struggle to comprehend that people choose to do things for different reasons. There are people on here who skin back for medical reasons, there are people who skin back for reasons of aesthetic preference, there are those who skin back for sensual reasons, sexual reasons, and probably other reasons too. As for why we don't just go the whole hog and get circumcised? Because we can have the best of both worlds.
Also it seems an incredibly aggressive forum. I'd not hang around a forum like that personally.
