>>34257696
My first 3.5 character was a naked 'barbarian" (as in the perceived culture type) sorcerer. Males earned adult clothes through rites of passage as a Warrior. My sorcerer linked the idea that Warriors cannot use magic, and have clothes so that if he wanted to keep his magic, he must not wear clothes.

Int/Wis dump stat ahoy.

No benefits, just RP funnies.

>>34257759

I'm currently writing a story of a Fighter (with the bloodline of a famous Archmage) learning Shadow Magic. However, to properly use and internalize it, he has to practice the somatic bits of in the buff.

>>34257805
Why is nudity required for somatic components?
Does he have to flex his dick in verious positions?

>>34257759
3.5? There's a feat you can take were war paint is your "clothing"

You pretty much have to be naked to.

>>34258291
Was it in the first 3 books? Cos this was way back.

My fighter once went nude while sneaking around a fortress full of bad guys looking for us, but only because I was ripping off Brock Samson really hard with that character.

>>34257696
I've considered the idea.
Maybe some kind of shaman/tribe could have magical tattoos that need to be visible to be used, so they wear minimal/no clothing.
>inb4 magical realm

>>34258271
Helps open up his mana flow; makes it easier to get the motions down and be able to cast magic more effectively.

>>34258380
Why did that not help any other caster then? Or does every caster run around in the buff in this world

>>34258413

This case is a fighter who's very inexperienced in using magic himself, and the removal of clothing is more of an opening up for him. It's meant to help him get more comfortable with using it.

He's often wearing more restricting clothing, which kinda hinders what he can do.

>>34257696
During a game of Deadlands, we had two shamans that had to get nekkid to summon the spirits. They were also old as hell, so there were some good laughs to be had at the table.

>>34258497
So, is the difference between wearing undergarments and being naked THAT much a difference in generating ki/energy/man-lust? He could be wearing casual clothes and probably experience the same level of oneness with his powers.

>>34257696
I played a homebrew where magic was absorbed through light. Pretty much every caster went around nude and shaved, or very close to it.

>>34257696
My Fighter only wears tiny underpants while fighting because he does not want to dirty his clothes, but never full naked.

>>34258528

Well, the setting he's in consists mainly of people who view clothing as a formality, rather than a necessity.

It's like practicing skyclad in witch circles. It just helps the flow.

>>34258563
>who view clothing as a formality
This is getting pretty creepy. Is it at least a tropical/arid setting without significant temperature changes?

>>34258563
so, a magical realm then

>>34258591
Something like it.

That said, he only does it in the bare to start off with, and starts to work at varying levels of encumbrance until he's able to work at full armor without many hang-ups.

>>34258591
Even in tropical and arid climates people use(d) clothes whenever possible unless textiles were at a premium. Protecting your privates is a matter of practicality, not social convention.

>be druid

>get cursed

>GLAMOURS HO
>what are clothes

>>34258717
Haha, no. Currently living Amazoniona natives just use a piece of string to keep their dicks up, because apparently floppy dicks are unsightly.
Humans walk around jungles completely naked just fine.

>>34258717

I actually have a race of aliens who managed to adapt for a lack of textiles through gaining more resilience in their dermal regions by way of a thicker skin and some denser hair.

The also lived in hive-like hexagonal structures due to the fact that the planet they lived on having very strong climates most of their calender year. What little textiles do grow, they use for things like bedding and furnishing textiles.

Their equivalent to clothing is a series of tattoos which they obtain as children following a coming of age ceremony in which they have to endure the outside world and find their spirit animal.

I took inspiration from the Beasts from Phantasy Star Universe.

>>34258824
>I took inspiration from the Breasts from Phantasy Star Universe.
Fixed

The only time I've played as a nudist character it was a lizardfolk (or rather it equivalent). He couldn't comprehend why "softskins" are wearing clothes, as for his race it was a matter of personal pride to show off well-groomed and healthy scales, which indicated that he lived in good place and had hunting grounds so full of animals that he could slack and clean himself.

I took Compulsive Skinny Dipper as a flaw, not knowing my GM set the game in fantasy-Venice.

And that is why you always ask about the setting before playing.

I almost considered doing Nudist Quest.

I just don't know how it'd work outside of Kill La Kill

>>34259672
Have it run for only up until the protagonist gets into their first combat encounter, or until night falls. Whichever comes first.

>>34260004
And, since we're talking about a game that is set in a traditional medieval society and NOT an obscure tribe in the deepest heart of the soft, warm jungle, we can assume that textile is not so much of a premium here, especially since "clothing is more of a formality".

Basically, clothing is a key part of civilization for anywhere you can step on rocks or face a cold breeze, and anywhere you will find plants you can weave together or hides you can cut from corpses.

>>34260004
Still shows that it's perfectly valid for a tribe to run around ass naked.
Hell, supposedly the Celts fought naked. And that's Europe.
Just don't do what this person did. >>34259900

Unless the DM decides otherwise

>>34260109
I had fun playing a monk that was usually naked, he would only put on clothes in town. He didn't usually wear clothes so that they wouldn't get messed up in battle, and I forgot to say after battle, "I get dressed" so nudity became his thing. As far as magical realm goes I didn't bring it up because to my character it was normal, everyone else is responsible for where they look.

>>34260098
>we can assume that textile is not so much of a premium here
I don't see why a society that doesn't use much clothing would make enough to keep prices low regardless of whether the reason for less clothes is climate or fiat.

>>34257696
I'm writing a story where one of the main characters has this as part of back-story.

>Young child orphaned at the age of six, along with his older brother and younger sister.
>Adopted by an eccentric, highly-paid and extremely experienced archer/assassin, who decides to adopt the three children, hoping they will become his successor.
>Only the six year old shows talent as an archer and has an uncanny habit of accidentally sneaking up on people and hiding.
>Four years of archery, camping, hunting and weapon-making training later, boy grows to age 10.

...

>One day, after going to sleep, the boy awakens in the middle of a grassy field, completely naked and alone.
>Soon after he awakens he is attacked by wild animals/barbarians who chase the boy. He outruns and outmaneuvers his assailants, and tries to set up camp somewhere in a deep forest.
>As time passes, the boy makes his own weapons and tools for hunting and killing. As he travels around the towering forest and expansive fields that make the area, the skyclad youth realizes that he is not anywhere that could be considered his home realm. He is in another dimension. Another world. Alone and afraid. Most importantly, he is vulnerable, weak, hungry. But not stupid.
>Spend the next fives years in stealthy bloodshed and constant fear. Hunting, killing, trapping, skinning, foraging, looting, sometimes even torturing. Anything to find out more about where he is and about the people trying to kill him.
>Through the years of savagery and paranoia, the boy forgets his name, family, friends, or his past. All he knows now is survival and the look in a man's eyes when you shoot the life out of him.

>>34259178
I've read in a book some indigenous tribes are like that. A Catholic missionary couldn't get to them until he ditched his cassock. Apparently the tribesmen though he was hiding some deformity under it. Only after he's shown himself naked and let them examine him they truly let him into the tribe.

>>34260288
Anyway, I just want to know a few things.

I'm thinking of having this place go through four seasons. In winter, he would wear a white fur ensemble to blend with the snow, a cloak of leaves in autumn, and be completely naked in throughout the harsh summer.

What kind of psychological ramifications would this kid go through in this kind of lifestyle? I don't know if he would forget his past and his own name in five years.

Is there really a function for loincloths or fur tunics?

>>34260226
>I don't understand how supply and demand work

Anon, please. The "premium" refers to the easy of production - if clothes are relatively easy to produce, then they will be produced to fulfill the basic human need of comfort and convenience.

Even in a fantasy culture where clothing is considered bad due to reasons, which by the way runs counter to every real world culture where clothing is used as a sign of wealth and status on top of its practical purposes, laborers, soldiers, athletes etc will use clothing if it'll aid them in their tasks - and only go buff in social situations.

>>34260420
>if clothes are relatively easy to produce
It's not. It never was before the industrial revolution. The only thing that ate up a greater amount of man-hours in the medieval period was food, and nothing else came even remotely close. Without a need for massive amounts of clothing, all those fields of sheep wouldn't exist. All those women who learned to spin and weave from their mothers wouldn't know what they're doing. It would be an esoteric craft profession, and clothing would therefore be expensive – as it historically was, to be sure, but expensive enough that the poor would never get any rather than that they might have less outfits than days of the week.

PCs being completely nude?
No, we do have a barbarian that doesn't usually wear anything that isn't useful.
But magic items, boots, and belts/backpacks are useful wherever and so are other clothes depending on the climate.

Now our current setting is basically standard fantasy nations slowly colonizing NotSouthAmerica so there is more than a bit of nudity but it's mostly a background element.
Additionally anything that can be worn can have armor enchantments so there is a bit of skimpy (cloth) armor or other stuff like body paint or jewelry that but other than the barbarian and that time where we got a jar that could create three batches of body paint with really good enchantments per day and no one bothered to ask if you could wear something over it for four sessions, most to the party is clothed for the climate

>>34260526
Since this whole thread from the start is about fetish and not games, let's put it straight.

Humans wear clothes. If they don't, they have to be so fucking primitive they barely qualify as humans. It really takes to be some remote tribe on God-forsaken small island without any spare resources AND tropical climate to abandon clothing, made from fabrics or anything else, including animal hides and foilage. You can count such occasions with fingers. So please, stop insisting that humans going bare is something we barely avoided. Don't confuse porn with reality.

I had one weird instance in which a wizard had her robes destroyed by fire, my wizard's robes were covered in owlbear blood, and another wizard took off their robes to make us feel more at ease. So three of us were just chillin in our birthday suits for a while, and I forgot to have my character look for more clothes afterwards. Later that day, my wizard got promoted to a high office in the local Mage's Guild (where all this shit was going down)... completely in the buff.

>>34260810
It's stupid and contrived as fuck. Make as well just handwave all explanations as natural talent.

And a 6 year old can't be an archer. They don't have the size or strength to use a bow.

>>34260739
But it's true. You can't find a post-iron civilization that eschews wearing clothes, because clothes are excellent for all the little and big things in life. Whether it's staying comfortably warm, keeping yourself safe from minor injuries, getting yourself some more carrying capacity, or even just demonstrating that you're better than those other guys, clothes are important to civilized life.

Can you name any situations where being naked would be an improvement?

Never had a PC like that, but one of our campaigns had a recurring NPC angel who went around in the nude all the time as she assisted our party in our holy quest. It was mostly played for laughs due to her being oblivious to nudity taboos existing and our party composed of five male clerics preferring to avoid the topic altogether.

Although one of them married the angel in the epilogue

PTSD, psychopath, paranoid schizophrenic, probably multiple personality disorder (or whatever they're calling it now), extreme issues with social skills, illiterate, uneducated, probably can't speak much (if at all). Sever social anxiety would be a must. Pretty much unplayable, impossible to write coherently, and pretty much better to trash it and start over, if he's going to be anything more than the setting's version of the boogeyman.

>>34260936
And that's the improvement? They were practised bare, because it was a celebration of human body. It wasn't practical by any bit. Ever tried running with your penis dingling all the way around? Or jumping? Extremely not-practical

I've only done this once with a character. She was a "witch" in a sense, and certain powerful rituals required going nude or "skyclad" This was the case of much hedge magics, but in her case it was to embrace the power of her "husband" who is a powerful demon. She was one of his many "wives" all of the witches of her coven were, and their bond was marked as tattoos all over the body.

This wasn't played as magical realm, she's actually cover herself up quite well, so mortal men would not covet her, and she would often speak in the stead of her "husband." to the party about certain actions.

Nobody in the party actually believed her husband to be real, more a symbol of her coven. Their faces were priceless when she summoned him to destroy the bulk on an encroaching army, and approved of them as his wife's companions granting boons to the party.

Sure, why not. Tell me please, why all kind and type of nomads inhabiting extremely hot and unhospitable steppes and deserts wear clothes, sometimes very thick and multi-layered, even if the temperature is way above 30 Celcius?
Because being naked would end with a fucking heat stroke and severe burns, that's fucking why.

>>34261057
And that's exactly why this thread mixes porn with reality... Go back to /h/, please

>>34260899
You are contiving the definition of civilisation to require clothing and then claiming that clothing is requisite for civilisation. That's ass backwards. You're also completely misrepresenting how people historically use clothing and how much clothing is actually used. Heavy materials weren't a thing for hundreds of years of recorded history and pockets weren't a thing for two thousand more. You're full of it.

>>34261033
This. You want to wear loose cottons over your entire body when in, say, a desert or high-heat environment, because if you don't you will die of having your skin burned to a crisp. Serious problem, significant sun-burning can result in faster dehydration, heatstroke, death.

>>34261098
Who said I assumed that clothed = civilised? Aside of your jumping to some very interesting conclusions. The point was that crushing vast majority of humans, regardless of region, race, creed or culture use clothing. Because it's better in many ways than running naked.

You instead spin it somehow around idea of clothes = made of fabric and clothed = civilised. From where the fuck you pulled that?!

Because of this thread I'm going to make a Sacred Fist Warpriest that worships a sky or sun diety, it will only wears Tear-Away Clothing, and will start every fight by tearing off the clothing so that it can fight cloaked fully in the glory of it's god/goddess.

>>34260420

Such as? Becase it was already stated that creating fabric is time-consuming and wearing different trinkets (they still count as clothes) is also a way of showing your status. So yeah, please least those magnificent cultures that doesn't treat clothing as a way of showing your status. Especially those primitive cultures you are aiming for and where fabric is so obscenely costly to make that it's even bigger way of showing your status than anywhere else...

>>34261241

This line only exist in your "quote", so yeah...

And my line was this:
> If they don't, they have to be so fucking primitive they barely qualify as humans

Which indicates that ability to wear/use/create clothes is so basic that only the most primitive tribes on very remote and resource-poor areas don't have any form of clothing. Mostly because they have nothing to use as material for clothes.

And please, STOP assuming that clothes = made of fabric

The Amazon River is a very diverse set of ecosystems. The Yagua are in Peru and Colombia, while the Amandava are in the proper Amazon Rainforest.

Look, from the way you speak you sound like a kid with a concept that seems cool in your head but really, it's a trite teen power fantasy. If you want something like it that actually sounds reasonable, go for the high fantasy/myth aspect, the wild man from the uncivilized jungles, the boogeyman from the wastes, tarzan, the man raised by beasts, Romulus and Remus.

I mean if it were really a good way to make up for lack of modern hygienic practices other cultures would have come up with it independently- convergent development and all that.

Or some time-traveler decided to use a microphone to yell at the jews, "God wants your foreskins."

What a jerk.

>>34262328
Which led to the hilarious (To modern ears) argument about whether Gentiles converting to Christianity needed to be circumcised and keep kosher back in the days of Saint Peter. Seriously, read the Letters sometime and read between the lines, this was a serious question back in the day.

>>34262370
I assume they answer they eventually came up with was 'yes'?

>>34262241
You obviously haven't heard of the Hebrews.

faggot

>>34262404
No? Christians don't keep kosher and circumcision is more an American thing than a Christian thing these days. Americans have somehow ended up with the cultural perception that the foreskin just looks gross, off with the fucking thing.

>>34260934

There are some basic ones. Light-colored clothing reflects light and dissipates heat by preventing it from being absorbed as effectively. Heavy clothing traps cooler air underneath it and insulates it from the outside, allowing you to stay relatively cool.

More importantly, in the desert the main issue is preventing dehydration. Clothing prevents moisture from being drawn out of your skin as easily by the dry, hot winds.

>>34262449
I'm so glad I'm from the reasonable half of North America. Canadian girls love that shit and American girls just chalk it up to "eh, he's Canadian; I'm just glad he's not introducing me to his sled dog team and expecting me to remember the names"

>>34262408
Aren't hebrews and jews the same thing?

>>34262189
I'm not that guy, but you're making a rather poor showing of yourself.

>>34262476
No, Hebrews are a races, Judaism is a religion. Most (if not all) of the original Hebrews were Jewish, so the two are often conflated.

>>34257696
>I am well aware of the "Bulletproof Nudity" rule from GURPS Action

Well I'm not. What is it?

>>34262449
It's also a Worst Korean thing now, (and to a lesser extent Japanese) as the Yanks somehow convinced them it was a good idea.

Probably by getting all their women addicted to American dick, I guess.

>>34262476
In the sense that the English and the Irish are the same thing, I think.
>>34262508
Yeah, this, pretty much, although you tend to hear the term "Ethnically Jewish" thrown around a lot more these days than you do "Hebrew"

>>34262508
>Hebrews are a races[sic], Judaism is a religion.
Jews aren't Judaism, ya git.

>>34262520
It was all Dr.Kellogg's fault, that quack.
>>34262528
Jews are adherents to Judaism.

>>34257696
I ran a game a while back that took place in a fantasy bronze age desert culture inspired by ancient Egypt, Sumeria, Babylon, etc.

Clothing was more of an accessory than a means of modesty, so one character played the whole game completely naked, instead decorated with jewelry and bodypaint to establish their social status.
Since there was no real nudity taboo, there wasn't much actual reference to the nudity. Didn't really change the game.

>>34262520
>Probably by getting all their women addicted to American dick, I guess.
Hahaha! I am Japanese woman. Non-Japanese actually believe this?

>>34262542
Well, that's how it started. Now Americans are used to circumcised cocks and foreskins just look weird/gross to us/them now. It's the weirdest damn thing.

>>34257696
In Legends of the Wulin I played Storm God's Fury/Nine Sun Birds xia that took his pants off because he thought it made him more agile.

>>34262558

Non-Japanese see that Japanese women and men are increasingly not making babies, but at least one half of the population is having sex, by virtue of having a vagina and a man around.

>file deleted

Fuck you mods

>>34262572
It's the worst thing ever, especially the double standard of it all. Ceremonially pricking a baby girl is illegal, cutting of a decent portion of a baby boy's penis is A-OK, if not medically recommended.

>>34262592
Very stupid and lazy post here.

>>34262592
But neither gender is having sex. The men are all kissless virgin otakus with no interest in women and the women are all gold diggers going after the top 5% richest dudes. If you pay attention to the Japanese news media.

>>34262186
who?

>>34262512

Basically, in GURPS Action (which is meant to be a sourcebook on everything in Action Movies), there's an optional rule for adding evasion points for characters wearing less and less clothing.

Functionally, this means you can engage in battlefield streaking and become much harder to hit.

Gold diggers generally have flings on the sly, it's kinda what they do. I guarantee you in a culture that fetishizes body hair, having body hair gets you laid.

>>34262686
I had heard that in reference to America, certainly not worldwide.

>>34262449
The idea is that foreskins are unhygienic and useless. Gross is just the end result of those preconceptions

>>34260810
Read the books Hatchet and Brian's Winter. A kid who grows up isolated an in an environment of extreme violence will not be recognizably human.

>>34262771
It was less that a year each time, and the kid was already like 12.

>>34262474
I'm also Canadian and I'm circumcised. Didn't have a choice in the matter, but it hasn't hindered me at all.

>>34262901
Not really the point. There's a lot of shit you can do to a kid that won't hinder them at all, doesn't mean you should go do them all.

>>34262901
It limited the amount of space on your person in which you could smuggle small objects, didn't it?

>>34262946

Sure, but I don't see the practicality of smuggling things in your foreskin. If anything, that's just more of a hassle.

>>34262901

If you've ever masturbated, and let's face it, you're on /tg/; you've masturbated. Anyway, if you've ever masturbated, being clipped was a hinderance.

Twenty-year-old Danzig Norberg:
>born with spina bifida, which in his case meant his spine wasn’t fully developed at his time of birth. At birth, part of his spine was exposed, and the doctors were forced to close it. Norberg is paralyzed from the knees down, and opted for a wheelchair over other options such as crutches or a walker.
>“Walking for the sake of walking was never that important for me,” Norberg said. “I wanted the easiest way for me to be mobile so I can live my life. Wheelchairs are just fun.”
>It’s all he’s known during his life, and he said he hardly even thinks about it.
>“I’ve never thought, ‘Things are so rough because I have this condition,’” Norberg said. “It’s just part of who I am and what I am. Just because I have it, that doesn’t mean I can’t do whatever I want to do. It hasn’t hindered me at all.”

>“It hasn’t hindered me at all.”

>>34263000
>you're on /tg/; you've masturbated
More like "you're with over 90% of the human race".

>>34263000

I've masturbated sure, but I'm not sure what you mean by being clipped?

I use lube/saliva because it's fun and feels good?

>>34263061
And because the natural gliding action of your foreskin has been taken from you.

>>34263028

You comparing circumcision to disability?

I assure you I and it is quite able.

>>34263028
There's a huge difference between removing a mostly vestigial flap of skin and being paraplegic.

>>34263085

Well no, I was jacking before I came to love lube, and it was fun and felt good then too,

Lube is just, super fun. Girls love it too.

>>34263105

Ah! Now I want to hear more!

>>34263161

I've had no complaints, serves me just fine.

>>34263342
And most women who were circumcised in Africa didn't have any complaints, in fact it was the women who did the circumcisions and were angry that it was being outlawed by people coming into their countries.

>>34263369

Are you trying to convince me I'm disadvantaged in some way? You won't.

>>34263421
You had a healthy part of your body cut off. That's pretty universally seen as a bad thing to do to someone, especially a baby.

>>34263286

The most memorable characteristics about her would how she would veil suggestions or her own ideas with the topic of her "husband."

Like. "My husband would suggest we try to negotiate with the rioters" or "My husband wouldn't approve of trying to steal this item from here, he'd wait till later when the item is in transit."

She was quite intelligent, but it was behind the veil of a dutiful bragging housewife. Very fun character to play.

Her magic worked on the basis of seducing her husband, so revealing the tattoos would entice it to work it's power. Basically no nookie unless you heal the fighter. It was hilarious conceptually.

>>34263610
So, basically, you're a Huckster from Deadlands with significantly less risk/reward and no need for anything but persuasive skill?

Yes, and then the entire party is arrested by the town guard for murdering a random person. Great thinking, mage!

>>34263102
Nope, just pointing out the similar views on its effects. protip: he doesn't consider himself disabled either.

>>34263105
The point is, he doesn't think being a paraplegic is a problem; you presumably do. Given that differences of opinion exist for things like this, specific indiviudals being fine with a given condition isn't really an indication that it really is fine.

>>34257696
>Because of this, some characters might be tempted to just take it off and go without, if they need to. Has anyone here ever done that in their games, and if so, to what benefit?

My character is undergoing a series of tests, the latest of which is survive in the jungle for a week with no equipment. All of her clothing got turned into useful items.

>>34264763
Mentality is irrelevant; the bulk of research into the issue (and there has been a bulk of research into it) has been inconclusive regarding the effects of male circumcision, with reported effects being more situational than common to all circumcised or uncircumcised individuals.

This is also why female circumcision is hated, since you asked earlier, because the research into it has shown that it leads to an increased risk of disease and issues related to sex. The two are not comparable at all, which is why female circumcision is now more properly referred to as female genital mutilation.

You're basically not even comparing apples to oranges, you're comparing apples to steak.

>>34257696
Only in ERP and "kinda sorta initially intended as ERP but none of us felt like actually RPing the E so it ended up being a normal campaign with fetishy characters" campaigns. Closest I came in a normal session was an elf sorcerer who preferred wearing light, flowing dresses, but the going commando part never actually came up in the game

>>34264881
So because there might be some very small benefit to it it's OK to cut off part of baby boys' genitals, even though no-one has actually taken the effort to fully study the health effects of doing so? Yeah, that sound toooootally reasonable.

>>34263421
>>34263102
The point I think they are hamhandedly trying to make is that with no experience of uncurcumcision to compare, you don't realise just how comparatively disadvantaged you are.

Studies on individuals who have been circumcised after sexual maturity indicate that there is a *significant* loss if sensation in the glans in circumcised individuals compared to uncircumcised.

The process kills a fuckload of nerves.

>>34265067
>even though no-one has actually taken the effort to fully study the health effects of doing so?
There have been a shit-ton of studies into the effects of circumcision, I literally said that in the very post you just quoted.

Personally I don't think it should happen, but it's also not that big an issue in the grand scheme of things unless those doing it completely botch it like those retarded orthodox Rabbis.

>>34265175
List five studies saying that and I'll list five saying there's no real effect. Taking as a whole, the results of the research have not provided a clear consensus one way or the other.

>>34265175

So?

If it works just as well, and is still pleasurable, what use is it in dwelling on something you can never get back?

Just use the damn thing.

>>34259900
Hey, you were that Tumblrite bitch who thought desert-dwellers didn't wear clothes! I remember him complaining about you. Stop being such a shitty player

UH, GUYS?

This was a great thread we were having. Can we NOT have this devolve into a Circumcision debate comment-war?

>>34265233
>>34265233
Funniest thing; most of the studies saying is has bad effects are done by European institutions, and the majority of the ones that say inconclusive/no problem are American-based.

Bit of a cultural bias, maybe?

>>34265494
Too late.

>>34262610
Well the girl version is shown to be medically bad for them (articles about it in Africa) whereas the male version is annoying but you never have to clean it and you're unhindered by it so...

>>34265583
>never have to clean it
You still have to clean your penis, even if you're circumcised. Also cutting off part of your genitals is pretty hindering when it comes to sexual activity.

>>34264881
This person gets it, now back to the actual thread please

>>34265583
>Unhindered

*not* having a foreskin is a hinderance - it reduces sensitivity over time and the process damages a fuckload of nerves.

Also the cleaning argument is bunk. The *only* way that it becomes an infection risk is if the individual has such a shocking disregard for personal hygiene they would have ended up with horrible infections regardless of their state of circumcision.

>>34265758
NO!

These have exactly nothing to do with the OP. You're just upset that your shitty thread got derailed with something that was actually interesting.

>>34266534

That's the decision of the parents.

>>34266630
Why? It's not for girls.

>>34266630
Right. Which is why they should consider the matter carefully. Did you not read the post you're replying to?

>>34266775
Sure they should consider the mater carefully, but if hey do decide to circumcise even still? What then?

>>34265811
That first one has never been proven. Ever. It's pure conjecture, and not supported by those who have circumcisions later in life, like in their 20s, for religious conversions or health problems (like having a too-small foreskin.) Even when reporting again forty years later.

The cleaning argument is exceedingly relevant in areas of extreme humidity -- both high and low.

>>34266835
Then fine. The question was
>What use is it in dwelling on something you can never get back?
The answer is, that you can change the future for you children if you decide to; the idea that what's done is done is an empty argument when there boys being born every day.
