I'm quite convinced their non-caring is honest. It's just cultural really and it's like that since they remember withouth any decent loss of utility, I really don't think they're pretending not care. Of course no one can prove or disprove that, but I'm pretty sure you're wrong about it.  Now yeah, a grown man would rather have a colonoscopy than a circuncision, but that's different. Don't get me wrong, I abhor the idea too and wouldn't do it to my child, but you should realise where this comes from, it has to do with identity or some shit like that. I'm not thinking clear right now tho, so I'll leave it there :P


I am not saying that they actively care or are sad or whatever. I am just saying that the ones that DO care, probably won't voice their views because no one wants to be making fun of their own dick. Which is why the "they are not bitching about it" is such a bad metric and why grown men who choos to undergo circumcision is so much better.

Oh, yeah, sure. But then again grown men who undergo will have associated emotions. If the guy cut it unwillingly, maybe because of a disease, it can be very traumatic. But if he did it willingly, maybe because he thinks it looks better, maybe because he converted into some religion, the he will probably have a positive view on it. SO you can create bias on both ways.

Still, you are right in that they are the only way to study what perceptive difference does it make.
