/adv/ help please.
my boyfriend recently told me that his mom had him circumcised when he was a youn-ish boy. the way it happened seems really messed up and it makes me really angry/unhappy. apparently he asked his mom how to clean underneath his foreskin properly and she responded saying they could make it so he doesn't need to clean it anymore and had it done. the doctor messed up leaving a very sensitive area attached and cutting part of the head, leaving bad scarring. after that he said his dick remained painfully sensitive for years and even now he can't wear underwear with seams.
am i wrong to be upset about this? it seems really messed up.
how do i get over it?
he also told me that he got cosmetic treatment painfully over the course of a few months for a viral infection. the treatment was only removing lesions but leaving the infection so he'd have to come back multiple times. i feel similarly to this as well because the procedure is recommended against for children.

In what way are you upset?
Like...I'd have some kind of feeling about this too, but you're going to have to clarify what you mean.

like, angry that his mom is so irresponsible(for the first part, especially doing it without explaining what it was) and annoyed at her slightly but more angry at the doctor for doing it.

You should be angry at the people who push the circumcision industry. The doctors and lawyers who prop it up.
Did you know that your boyfriend's neurological chemistry has been permanently altered due to the circumcision? People who made this study were then taken to court by numerous lawyers representing medical institutions who rely on this kind of procedure.

It's over. It's done. Regret it if you wish. But don't waste valuable emotional energy on anger.

i did have some idea of that kind of thing, but his mom admitted she just did it cause she didn't know how to clean it. he's from a country where this isn't a common practice but she isn't native to there.

yes but -how- do i stop caring about that? i just feel like it's really fucked up and wondering how anyone could do that to their child.

>piece of dick skin with no endocrine tissue is removed
>neurological changes
Yeah...no.
Not pro-circumcision, just anti-bullshit-arguments-that-make-the-movement-look-stupid. It's such a dramatic complaint anyway. The food your mum eats while you're in the womb, how she's feeling emotionally, and a million other things of that nature alter your brain chemistry forever, suck it up.
Anyway OP, that's a good way to be mad, but tons of people have beef with their SO's family and it is what it is. I resent my husbands mom A LOT for shit she did to him growing up but there's nothing to be done. I support him in the aftermath and do my best to be civil to her.

Yes, his mom is an irresponsible idiot who's kind of a shitty mom.
>>17928562
Nothing you can do. Just don't do it to your child.

>>17928564
i thought op was talking about psychological effects that the procedure has on a young child (8-9) capable of memory.

>>17928564
The neurological change is typical of that of extreme pain trauma experienced by people who have physical abuse in childhood.

This is why circumcision should be illegal for boys like it is for girls.
