Thoughts 5 months in... Newfound Anger. Advice?

[4Foreskin]

First, there is absolutely money made from genital mutilation.

Second, I experienced some increase in size based on FR alone. ¼ inch in length and ¼ inch in girth.

Third, I think anger is an appropriate emotional response as you discover what was done and taken away from you without your consent. As I continue my FR journey and the more time I must invest to reach my goals the more anger I feel.

Fourth, this anger is turning to hatred as I learn more about this continued human rights violation out of at best perpetuated ignorance and at worst greed of “medical professionals.”

In an angry mood,

I think anger is a good thing, when used constructively.

ANY human violation should anger us. But it should especially piss us off when people look the other way.

At least rape, child molestation, murder, shop-lifting, etc. are all seen for what they are, and no one is calling to pardon some of it under "culture."

Let's work to expose the medical hoax that envelops this country today.

*EDIT* - Just some semantinc trivia: In Spanish, one of the words for "anger" is "coraje." (Said something like "co-raw-heh") The word can be used for both "anger" and "drive." It is also synonymous with "courage." Well whaddayaknow! It's almost as if they have the exact same roots.

Be angry, but use that anger as a drive to continue your restoration and fight by having the courage to challenge and educate others.

but I wonder why no doctor has made the same conclusion and exposed this scam for what it is.

In the U.S., there are some thoughtful doctors with a conscience who have spoken out against circumcision. The rest of them don't have a conscience, and only want to make a fast and easy buck by victimizing gullible parents who don't know any better, and circumcising their baby boy. But the parents themselves could be the ones who don't have a conscience, and are the ones doing the victimizing by asking the doctor to circumcise their son and signing the consent form.

Amputation of a baby boy's foreskin and the resulting mutilation of his penis, not done for therapeutic reasons, occurs more than a million times a year in U.S. hospitals. Technically, it shouldn't happen at all.

Think of the legacy of American assembly-line hospital circumcisions: a life of lousy sex, difficulty in reaching orgasm, difficulty maintaining an erection, the need for lube, too much friction in vaginal sex, reduced sensation and pleasure during sex.

Then there's the open question of whether circumcision has contributed to the U.S. divorce rate, the American lube and Viagra industry.

When they tell you circumcision is cleaner and healthier, what they're really saying is that American guys are too lazy to pull back their foreskin once or twice a week and wash their penis.

I don't blame you for any anger you might have as a result of being circumcised. Your anger will come in very handy, in helping you to focus and maintain a daily round of foreskin restoration, however you decide to accomplish it.

We have all had those moments of anger. Use that anger to focus on restoring.

I am greeted to this forum by coming across as a whiner to the point of founding a new section entitled "Grieving"?!

Wow... Give me a break.

If you weren't whiner you'd just suck it up and accept the placement of your thread, the way you ought to just shut up and accept your circumcision.

Sorry, I thought this seemed like a discussion about working through the emotional impact of having been cut. Should we make a section called "working through the emotional impact of having been cut"? If you really think I blew it, I can move it back.

Oh, and welcome to the forum.

Warmest Regards,

Yeah, I think it might use a better name...

And uh, dude, you wouldn't be the first... it just means that it happens enough to warrant a new section.

Don't take it personal...

Coming from the UK where we do not have an automatic policy to circumcise boys, it took me a while to get the feel of how you US guys were manipulated as children, and how that left you feeling. I suppose your parents just went along with it because it is (was?) the 'norm.'

If you take your son to the GP here and mention tight foreskin or other penile problems, the doc; does everything to treat the condition without referring you to a hospital for circumcision. I know that from taking my boys when they were younger - both intact.

I do know how men feel about their penis if it is not how God intended it to be, having been born with hypospadias (1 in 300 boys born so) and realizing how important the penis is to all men, I can see that circumcision is not necessary and once you realize that as an individual, you may then mourn the loss. At least here you have the chance to do something to reclaim your rightful inheritance.

Keep gently tugging :-)
