Thank goodness my parents said they would rather have left that choice to me when I was old enough. As an adult, why the fuck would I get circumsized unless you have a specific reason to do it?

    I'm jealous that your parents cared enough to let you decide. I wish mine had done the same.

    As for why you would do it willingly I don't know either.

    I got the last laugh. I was cut as a newborn, but I still didn't end up with the parts my parents wanted. They took a little snip. I went for the full origami of gender reassignment surgery. 🤣

    Take it one step further, and invent an entirely new set of genitals just to piss them off!

    I went for the pretty standard fem package. But there are folks doing some pretty wild things out there now.

    Really? I'm a cis dude and I haven't heard of any of that from my trans friends, I'm genuinely curious. I couldn't imagine what other designs people would go for. Do you like draw it up in CAD before hand or something?

    I'm a binary trans woman myself. I just wanted the full standard package.

    But there are varieties, mainly spearheaded by the nonbinary community. There's zero depth vaginoplasty, where they make a labia but no vaginal canal. (Easier maintenance, ideal for lesbians with no interest in penetration.) For asexual folks or those with no interest in sex, there's nullification surgery, aka the "Ken doll" method. And for the most exotic, the term you're looking for is "Salmacian."

    Here's a subreddit. Obviously NSFW:

    That is so incredibly fascinating. What a world we live in. I keep saying how excellent of a future we have, if only some bone-heads could stop giving so much of a shit what people do in their private lives.

    A friend of mine did it for medical reasons. His foreskin was too tight to pull back, which made it really hard to clean, and I think there were some other problems associated with it as well.

    I've never heard about an adult getting circumcised as an adult for religious reasons, but I'm sure some people do it.

    I've heard that a lot. I've even had someone approach me after taking a public shower before and try to strike up a conversation about my bits. Sorry about your bits, brother.
