This is very disturbing
I know that this is a topic that many of you are not going to want to hear about. But I think it is so very important…even for those of us that are already done having our children. Even for those that think we already know about this topic. This is very important and every one of us needs to know this information. So I am passing along the info. Not to make anyone feel guilty, but to educate those who will be educated.
There is a new study out, I believe it was just published this month, in an April 2007 Journal (if I’m reading it correctly)…This study says that intact men have FOUR TIMES MORE sensitivity as circumcised men. http://www.nocirc.org/touch-test/touchtest.php
What does this mean? I hear the circ’d men saying “I wouldn’t WANT to be more sensitive!” I asked that question of Marilyn Milos, founder of www.nocirc.org who just yesterday was a guest speaker at a Mothering Magazine sponsored chat that I hosted on my website….This is what she said, and what I want to share with you:
“The 20,000 nerve endings that encircle the opening of the foreskin allow a man to know what his penis is feeling and where he is in relation to the ejaculatory threshold. These erogenous nerve endings allow an intact man to learn to ride the wave to orgasm. Without them, he goes “Ohhh, ohhh, oops! Sorry, honey, it’s because I’m so sensitive.”In reality, it’s not because he’s so sensitive, it’s because the nerve endings he’s supposed to have are gone! Someone cut them off when he was too little to consent, resist, or escape. Circumcised men don’t ride the wave to orgasm. My circumcised husband says, “I’ve never had an orgasm. I ejaculate, but I’ve never had an orgasm.” In human sexuality classes, men tell me the same thing. And, they’re happy to know they aren’t to blame for the #1 cause of sexual dysfunction in young American men: premature ejaculation. It’s not because they haven’t read enough, had enough experience, or are selfish lovers, it’s because they lack the nerve endings that would allow them to have normal sex.
As men get older and the keratinization process causes the free nerve endings on the glans to become more and more deeply buried and insensitive to stimulation, it takes the circumcised male longer and longer to reach orgasm. This is why older men complain about sexual dysfunction and impotence when they get older. That’s the legacy of what we’ve done to our precious husbands, brothers, and sons…
This, in part, is why we must bring the atrocity to an end!”
She went on to say, in her next email to me:
“And, yes, it is sad. Very sad! But, once we realize what the problem is, we can do something about it. Men stop feeling like it’s their fault, wives stop blaming them, couples begin to talk, and the deep tension that underlies many relationships because of a dysfunctional sex life dissipates. We can work with it when we know what “it’” is. And, we can stop making more “it”s happen, too! That’s the good news… I hope you’ll post this, the rest of the story, too.”
And so, the rest of the story….I’ve finally added a webpage about circumcision to Fresno Family. I hope you will take the time to read through the information and watch the videos and really educate yourself on circumcision…Because it is relevant to all of us.
Check out this publisher!
I just want to share a fantastic children’s book publisher: Dawn Publications! They are all about quality nature books for children and I have become a reviewer for them recently…already checked out 4 of their books and they are AWESOME!!
Very important study uploaded. Everyone needs to read this.
In our c-section-happy culture, you really need to read this study before you consent to a c-section. Print it out and take it to your doctor! A quote from this study:
“Delivery by caesarean section in the first pregnancy could increase the risk of unexplained stillbirth in the second. In women with one previous caesarean delivery, the risk of unexplained antepartum stillbirth at or after 39 weeks’ gestation is about double the risk of stillbirth or neonatal death from intrapartum uterine rupture.”
I share this with you because I am one of those statistics…I had an unexplained stillbirth after a previous c-section. Fullterm. When I learned of this study I was LIVID. No one told me this…if I had known that my chances of stillbirth went up so significantly I would NEVER have consented to a c-section! My first c-section was unnecessary…due to “failure to progress”, which really is “failure to be patient.” Just keep all this information in mind and be educated, mamas!
