Isn't it impossible to say cutting of a part of your dick makes less difference?
There is a mistaken belief that the foreskin is just "a small piece of skin". When erect, the average penis has a length of 5.2 inches and a circumference (girth) of 5 inches.
Most circumcision procedures will cut 1 to 2 inches behind the tip of the penis. Let's do the math:
1.5x2=3 length of skin removed (average of 1.5") times 2 (the foreskin is a doubled-layered fold)
3x5=15 length times circumference
In an adult, that's at least 15 square inches of densely innervated penile skin that has been removed.
A old Jewish guy once told me they are collected swoen together u for the store. But it's a tradition
Even worse, the foreskin remnants are now made into a "rejuvenating" facial cream for women.

Both Ellen and Oprah have promoted it on their TV shows. And they laugh while describing how the foreskin was removed from boys
Yeah I know about that. But the thing I was thinking about was a sheet type thing.
The foreskin doesn't have the practical function of generally preventing orgasms and sexual pleasure, and thus dulling the sex drive. It's part of what makes us human. Your taking a portion of their humanity away with FGM.
I say it does. My fs is amazing!!!!! And keeps out stuff from the eye and keeps the membrane of the Penis covered The same thing was said about dogs tales correct. Now we stopes cutting of the dogs tales.
How could any one know?
Your talking about taken away the humanity what they want to do in their culture why do the west interfere. While Chopping off boys foreskin?
Let me be more clear, FGM mostly prevents orgasms and dulls the sex drive. It takes a portion of person's humanity away because the sex drive is partially what makes us human.
That said, I'm sure your foreskin is just peachy.
There are over a dozen subcategories of FGM. What you described is Type III, infibulation, where the external clitoris, hood, and labia are removed with the vagina stitched almost shut. This is also the rarest type. Type IV is the most common worldwide -- scraping, incising, piercing. Essentially, fully functional genitals.
Routine circumcision in the US was originally promoted as a way to curb masturbation. If we are to believe that FGM is wrong on the basis that it's meant to suppress female sexual pleasure, the same reasoning can be applied to circumcision, regardless of who is promoting the practice.
