One of the common issues I (and I would imagine a lot of other piercers) run into on a regular basis is the parents who bring their infant daughter in for ear piercings. No laws in my state keep me from doing this, but my personal ethics will not allow me to do any modification on an non consenting client. My view on circumcision is the exact same, I don’t feel it’s my right to decide the fate of my son’s penis. I feel that is a decision for him to make as a consenting informed adult.
Apparently, the parents of this BME Hard contributor, shared my viewpoints and left their son uncut. Now as an adult he has not only decided to get circumcised, it appears he decided to do the procedure himself using a gomco clamp.
To see the blood beyond the blur, keep on keeping on.

Eli, the argument is usually that doctors won’t perform the procedures people want, and that’s why they resort to doing them themselves or to going to non-doctors. Yet here we have a very common procedure that doctors are very willing to do. And I just searched “circumcision” on Google Images and got 981,000 results: it’s hardly difficult to find examples.

To the little dispute as to if this is really considered a form of body modification. I personally believe the answer is yes and no. If you are a person who was circumcised at birth, and have no memory, or even the choice of having it done, you can not call that a body modification. However, if you have lived with your foreskin, and one day decide that you want to get it chopped off, I think that should count as a traditional body modification. Because the person made the choice to physically alter their own body for aesthetic, personal, and in some cases sexual reasons.
There’s my two cents.

once again WOB proves that he/she doesn’t belong on BME.
way to go wob.
@wob so I wonder if you even have modifications? because if you ever decide to stop being a bitch and do your own or even get one. its pretty fun.
I enjoy doing my own, and maybe instead of being a narrow minded bigot educate your self?

“Why would someone not want to go to a professional?
There are a thousand reasons a person might not want to go to a
professional. Their state might not allow piercing, or they might be
below the legal age required. There might not be any qualified piercers
in their area, or they might be uncomfortable having someone else
invade their space in this way. They might want to do the piercing in a
sexual context, or they might simply not be able to afford going to a
piercer. The validity of these reasons is of course debatable, but the
point is that many people do not want to go to a piercing studio to get
their piercing, and they have that right.”

wob, im not sure how making the argument that since tons professionals do it, its not a form of body modification.. and i never said that people cant find information on circumcision, its just most people tend to not search out pictures of chopped up dicks. BME and modblog is meant to show these people these types of images to broaden their minds, correct?

nikk, I’ve been nothing by polite to you. I have no idea why you don’t extend me the same courtesy, but I suggest that if you can’t do any better in refuting someone’s argument than calling them a bitch (or quoting something totally irrelevant), you shouldn’t bother trying.
Eli, I didn’t say that since doctors do it it’s not a form of body modification. But I’m sure you recall the recent post about the labial reduction controversy? One of the main arguments people were making there was that doctors won’t perform this type of surgery so people have to turn to non-professionals (or at least, non-medical professionals). With that in mind, I asked why a routine male circumcision, a legal medical procedure that could have been performed at reasonable cost and with far less risk by a trained doctor, was being included as an example of “body modification” on BME?
And by the way, what you said was “it should be included on BME because its important for people to see what a circumcision looks like, especially if their deciding to cut their kids, or planning on cutting themselves.” To which I responded that there is a wealth of information out there, so that isn’t a valid argument either.

wob, im not quite sure what your trying to say in your second paragraph. In regards to labial reduction, shouldn’t its male equivalent be equally controversial and receive an equal amount of acknowledgment on BME regardless of how common it is? and the fact still remains that removing the foreskin is altering the original form of the human body, thus falling under the category of “body modification”. and since when is BME a site that focuses on certain types of body modification and ignoring others?
In response to your third paragraph, even if their is a “wealth of information out there”, there may be people out there who have not come across this information. And say a person who is new to body mods hears about this cool “modblog” and they come a-browsing and finds this post. Its quite possible that they have not seen a circumcision before, and their mind will have been exposed to something new. Even if this is the only person who gained new knowledge, this post will still have been worth posting because it showed this person how brutal a circumcision can be.

for a while, when i was younger, i wished i had been cut for a very similar reason to the hairdresser guy in the video. but now, no thank you. really, it’s a great part to still have. what harm could it do to let your kid become a sentient being and have his say in the matter before you put him down for what could be considered a pretty damn hardcore mod if we thought of it differently? it just seems wrong to me. if i ever reproduce, you’re damn sure the kid’s coming home intact. if he wants it gone later, i’d gladly pony up the cash to get it done when hes old enough to have a say in it. it’s an uproar when you see a baby with its ears pierced… but circumcision happens so often and no one bats an eye. just sayin.
