Worried circumcision is the cause of my ED

I agree, it shouldn't be allowed to make that kind of decisions for anyone other than yourself.

 

Allow me to start off by saying that I wouldn't judge "most women" based off of the comments section of some random website. Don't be so quick to judge somebody's character or hate them just because of the actions or comments of others. We are living in a time of immense knowledge but also immense opportunity to cherry pick what we want to see so that it proves our base fears and guesses.

As for the debate over female circumcision and male circumcision in western countries, I think it's important to note this: female circumcision (female genital mutilation) is something people see as happening in poor African countries and is thus easy to talk about and condemn because it demands no sacrifice or change in their own lives. It confirms people's stereotypes of Africans being backwards and allows them to maintain an air of superiority about themselves. Discussing male circumcision demands much more of people in the West because it is so prevalent. If given the choice between thinking of themselves as an abuser who mutilated their son or as somebody who did a beneficial and common medical procedure for their son, what do you think most Americans will pick? The negative effects of male circumcision along with the fact that you are needlessly violating the autonomy of a child are sad truths that people still aren't willing to accept because of what it will mean for them.

Concerning your thoughts on your own circumcision, don't be so hard on yourself. You, like so many of us, suffer in bed because of the awful of effects of PMO addiction like death grip and associating O'ing with looking at a screen. These can be healed, you can be healed. You are not hopeless. The one result of mass circumcision is that we know it doesn't cause erectile dysfunction or an inability to orgasm 99.99% of the time, otherwise it would have probably been stopped a long time ago. Do not give up hope, there is a future of fruitful relationships and enjoyable sex ahead of you, you just need to, like all of us, put in the work to get there. I hope to see you on the other side of this.

 

I’ve heard of circumcision affecting erectile function, but only in men 30 yes + circumcised way later in life

 

There's an old myth that a circumcised man can give cervical cancer to a woman if he's unhygienic.

 

It has been scientifically established that circumcised men have less risk of contracting an STD, e.g. HIV. That may be a part of things. But as for women forcing it upon their sons, actually it's more often the fathers doing this. God Himself began the tradition, by commanding it of Abraham and his sons, as recorded in Genesis 17:10-12, KJV.

In keeping with this God-given tradition, I was circumcised as an infant. I have had no sexual difficulties on account of it--if anything, I have more pleasureful sensation than I might wish. Orgasms are certainly not difficult to come by, and it's been easy to keep things clean. I have never had an issue with ED, having been married for decades.

I seriously doubt there's any connection between ED and circumcision. Seriously.

 

As someone who's been uncircumcised for most of their life and then had a medical circumcision, it's not the circumcision causing your ED.
