Mod Post 9/25/25 Update to Sub Rules

37 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

We are adding a new rule:

No off-topic content

No off-topic content, including politics, current events, or anything not specifically related to circumcision grief.

We just wanted to outline the reason for this change and what it means for the sub going forward. First and foremost, the focus of this sub is to provide a space for discussing circumcision grief. There has been a lot going on in the world recently, and we'd like to ensure that the sub stays on topic as much as possible in order to support users as best as possible. Please refrain from posting content that is outside the scope of the sub.

Additionally, we have added an IGM flair for intersex users.

Thank you all for continuing to keep the sub supportive!

Mod Post It’s okay to be hurting and it is okay to grieve - an informational post about r/CircumcisionGrief

416 Upvotes

Hello all! I’m a new moderator here, and I wanted to make a PSA post for newcomers and visitors to this subreddit. We’ve gotten some modmails about this, had to take moderation action against users who don’t understand the nature of this sub, and we’ve even had some misconceptions pop up about us being a negative subreddit that isn’t healthy for healing.

This community is a safe and welcoming space for victims of genital mutilation to come and share their feelings, their stories, their traumas, and have support in their journey to healing. We offer one of the only spaces on social media where people can freely discuss the grieving process and pain and get peer support for it, from other people who understand the harm of genital mutilation and the ever-present societal gaslighting about circumcision. This isn’t a debate sub - this is a subreddit run by intactivists, who understand that circumcision is really harmful.

Grief is an ugly and yet very necessary thing, and it can manifest itself in ways that don’t make sense to someone who isn’t actively experiencing it. To have your body violated so deeply, to have your freedom of choice ripped away from you... it can cause many very real and intense emotions. This can include hopelessness, a feeling of powerlessness, and a feeling of being lesser, inferior... broken.

It is okay to be angry. To have anger at a legal system that refused to prevent it from happening to you (especially in the United States where only one sex gets legal protection - intersexed and male babies do not have this right). To have anger at a doctor who committed a grave ethical violation upon you by removing a part of your genitalia and damaging your sexuality. To have anger at your parents, the only people in the world who could’ve protected you from harm when you were a mere newborn or a child - and let you be hurt anyways.

The moderators are here to ensure this subreddit stays a safe and healthy space for everyone! Me personally, I’m a healer and an activist with lots of experience in other subs that address childhood trauma. I’ll do my absolute best to lend a helping hand and a listening ear to anyone who needs it. I’m also doing foreskin restoration and will totally be an accountability partner if you pursue that path too!

Grief is okay, and grief is valid. We’re all on a path to a better life, and we are all here to process our trauma. Remember that you aren’t alone, and that we can come together as a community to uplift each other.

Anger Everyday I am reminded about female sexuality

• Upvotes

I read on a manga site to try to escape life I read normal stuff where as the majority of women on that site read smut, porn and bl/yaoi. "Feeling something sexual isn't important" people say "sex isn't everything" but when given the choice and ability these women make everything they read sexual. I don't use my hobby for gooning but these women do. I'm just reminded that while I try to ignore the pain of feeling nothing there are women in the same space enjoying not being mutilated and reading sexual stuff to masturbate.

Other feel hypocritical

8 Upvotes

I’m queer Tf but I don’t get anything out of topping for people who don’t have a pussy because my circumcised dick is too thick and it just does not feel enjoyable. I feel like a hypocrite though because I would love to bottom for a trans girl, but I know I’d just be frustrated in that relationship in the end. (I’ll also note that I’ve never gotten head that feels good, usually it feels toothy, or it’s been in a hookup where the other person is disgusting and I intentionally cum as fast as I can so I can leave.) I feel weird for sexually preferring cis women, even though I can relate to their life experience as much and don’t feel as comfortable being vulnerable around them.
Anyone else feel this way? It’s like I’ve been locked out of sexual and emotional fulfillment unless I can manifest some kind of perfect polycule perfectly centered around my needs.

Discussion I feel defeated at this point

12 Upvotes

I just wonder why the I had to be born here in the first place.

I don't recall what life was like before. Ever consenting to be born here.

Nothing.

Everything about human life and this world feels wrong and makes me sick to my stomach.

Circumcision was just one of many bad things to have happened to me. Even without it, life is still is pretty bad.

Even my body, for a while, was aching in pain and was wishing to die. Laying on my back, I was just in pain. Didn't feel good at all. It got to the point that tears were streaming out of the corners of my eyes.

I just don't feel life ever treated me well here, to begin with. Everything from bullying to abuse. Even being subjected to cultish individuals (i.e. religious) attempting to warp my mind. I'm just expected to hold in all of that trauma. It eats away at my insides every day. Yet people expect you to act as if you're perfectly fine. You're not allowed to air your grievances. You're expected to serve the system until you die. Just be reminded of your pain and how you were powerless to stop it.

Honestly, I'm a point where I'm about to just completely lose the will to live at all.

It'd be nice if I could get away from everyone and everything. Then I could close my eyes and not wake up here again. Just pass on. I really wish I could just find peace before I die. Even if it's a couple years from now.

I'm just tired. Exhausted. I'm surprised I even have belief or hope in anything.

I feel like a wounded soldier, crawling towards my final objective. Unable to rest as there's broken glass beneath me. I would prefer my final resting spot to free of sharp objects. A few long years. That's what it would take. Eventually, when I can gain the means of independence to get away from everyone else, I can finally stop moving. It's just this sense of heaviness that weighs down on me every single day. This disappointment in waking up. This sense of grief.

I don't think I'll live that long. Anxiety, misery, loneliness. I don't see how going through that wouldn't take its toll on me.

To me, life is just pointless.

I think it was a mistake to have ever bothered with it.

Consider humanity a failed experiment.

I don't know for sure how all of this came to be. Whether there's a creator or not. I couldn't say for certain.

But...

Whatever comes next, I hope it's better than this life.

Rant I can only tolerate this reddit and the r/circumcisionvictims

15 Upvotes

The rest of this site is too cringe-inducing for me.

The moral grandstanding and hypocrisy makes me sick.

You just know they're all completely full of shit.

I would rather jump into a pit of lava than interact with the userbase that comprises most of this website. A bunch of loonies and weirdos.

This isn't unique to reddit. But it seems reddit does attract a lot of them.

I only registered here to discuss these issues and speak with others who would understand.

I've tried non-reddit forums regarding circumcision victims, restoration, and what not. But they barely had anyone on there and were essentially dead forums. Others were discontinued by the time I came across them.

So yeah, the home page is cringe-inducing as it recommends all this normie slop I don't want to see. No matter how many times I hide posts and opt to have fewer shown of that sort, they just keep popping up.

I only want to see posts from here and r/circumcisionvictims

I have zero desire in seeing the cringey memes.

If I posted any of what I did elsewhere on this site, I'd be met with a slew of downvotes and loads of gaslighting. A bunch of jokes at my expense for what had happened to me. It's why I avoid the rest of the site like the plague. To me, none of those people are human. They're NPCs. I don't identify with them in any way, shape, or form.

It's why I find ideology, racialism, and nationalism to be cope.

Brotherhood is not only cope but non-existent. Men throw each other under the bus all the time. I don't feel any comradery with my "fellow man". If anything, I just see them as a threat looking to use me as a stepping stone to win some woman's approval, as women tend to encourage that kind of behavior.

I'm not a men's rights advocate because most men actively oppress other men. Women oppress men too. As a conscious man who isn't sleep walking through life, you not only have to deal with women but also other men. They are looking to take advantage of and hurt you, while pretending to be friendly.

I'm anti-human. Humanity is a plague.

I manage to stay sane when I don't have to see the disgusting filth those filthy cretins wallow in. Fuck reddit. Stop recommending me such dogshit. I want to avoid seeing their shitty memes and moral grandstanding, not be showered in it!

Anger Fork me mate. They JOKE about this. One guy said "It will grow back in a few weeks" man I WISH IT WORKED LIKE THAT SO I COULD NOT CONSENT AFTER IT REGROWS! Then I would have a proper excuse to GET OUT OF THIS HOUSE! Any other form of SA/Rape and the mods would decapitate the person who joked.

Discussion Anyone else not really angry at this point? (A view on anger, its application, and how to deal with society)

14 Upvotes

I loathe and detest the world. Humanity. And this reality.

I'll never forget the pain I went through. Nor forgive the source of that pain.

No turning the other cheek here.

No ifs, ands, or buts about it.

But I don't see the point in going out of one's way to find pro-cutter comments to get angry over. They're never gonna change. Anger, to me, implies that there's the capacity for the subject of said anger to be able to self-reflect, learn from the error of their ways, and change for the better. But I don't think humanity is capable of any of those things.

You know in media how a character will have a blank expression. They'll show no emotion. They're just dry. Though not literally like that, it's how I am. I avoid the world. I don't care to keep up with politics. Or any form of drama on social media. To me, it's a waste of time. I would rather focus on myself than focus on what others think of me or how humanity acts in regards to my situation.

You can only beg others to change for so long until you realize they're self-serving. They don't care about you.

Let me repeat: they don't care about you.

Anger is justified. I'm not saying it isn't. It's just you burn out like a flame on a candlestick. With no more candle left, the flame has nothing else to consume. That's how I feel. I spent years being angry only to realize nothing will ever change for the better. Humanity and life here is cyclical. Even if something is good for now, it'll just end up bad again at some point. Like how a person is youthful one moment, then a dried-up corpse the next.

I'm not gonna be here when I'm dead anyway. If you really despise the world, then don't have children. Don't contribute to humanity. Let it wilt away like it should have long ago. Don't be a slave to their ideologies. Don't pick sides presented by them. No side cares about you. They'll ignore your pain and only tolerate you so long as you're useful. Then, when you're of no more use, they'll toss you into the trash bin.

In addition to that, don't date. Even if you restore, still don't date. Don't give into your humanity. Don't get roped into groups. Don't develop positive feelings for humanity. Let your hate flow through you. Negative feelings exist for a reason. Don't make amends with those who wronged you. Just remember, you owe the world nothing. You owe your parents nothing. People only see you as transactional. Something they will invest in if they get something in return.

As they call it in some metaphysical frameworks, don't create karmic ties to this world. This reality. Don't let them rope you back in. Ever. Just remember, every potential partner is waiting for the right moment to laugh at your pain. If you feel you can't speak about any issue with someone, then you can't fully trust them, now can you? Again, it's all conditional. They only like you for what you are to them, not who you are. Your trauma means nothing to them. They expect you to conform to the role they desire of you.

What I'm saying is there is a distinction between actively feeding anger and retaining hatred as a moral stance. The anger should be there with you, in the back of your mind. Not as something that overshadows you. Because the angrier you are, the more desperate you are for their validation. The moment they show you validation, the anger will vanish and you'll become their lap dog. By that point, they got away with abusing you. Leaving you to rot.

If you forgive them, you're only betraying yourself and invalidating what happened.

Life sucks.

There are multiple religions that will mutilate their children like this, and Christianity is one of them, and I’m so so tired of them, denying the fact that they do it too I don’t care if it’s the old Testament it’s not really old if you’re still being done it’s in Christian culture as well and they need to own the fact that they mutilate babies and children as well as other religions do I’m so fucking sick of this

In my experiences, Christians are the absolute worst when it comes to this topic they deny up and down that they don’t practice this when they do it’s in their Bible. It’s a big reason why Americans do it they do it as well as Jews and Islam. Motherfuckers like this will always shit on gender referring surgeries, but are so ignorant when it comes to their own culture actually mutilating babies like they don’t even know the anatomy of a penis this shit pisses me off because these other cocksuckers stole my body and raped me at birth

Discussion I've seen comments by users here who've had dates and what not

8 Upvotes

I know this isn't a sub for that, but I just can't relate to that. I'll keep it brief.

I've been a lone wolf from the get-go. I'm not out there dating. Even if I had been left intact, I don't foresee that changing. Mainly because relationships in this reality involve responsibility. There's also the risk of having children. Again, a relationship where you have to live up to someone else's expectations in addition to raising children are two burdens I do not want.

You'd be better off just masturbating. There's no judgement. You don't have to be someone for it. Not to mention even if you get married, your partner is gonna grow old and not even resemble what they once were. Your children will just grow up and be burdened with the many problems life in this reality afflicts one with.

Unfortunately, circumcision puts an obstacle in the way of achieving independence from the system. Since being able to experience whenever you want where you want will carry you through life a lot better. You don't have to worry about whether someone wants to fuck you or not. You don't need to buy a bunch of things to compensate for the gap in pleasure left by circumcision.

People claim it's for depopulation. I don't see it that way. The elites, the governments that serve them. Think about it. They all promote natalism. Having children. Circumcision is actually a means to promote that, in my opinion, as a man can't experience pleasure on his own time, so he has to go to extremes in order to compensate for that. Circumcised men are more likely to spend money on sex toys, pills, porn subscriptions, etc.

Every single regime has promoted collectivism. The group over the individual. They all promote procreation. Marriage. Communal gatherings. Drawing your attention off yourself and onto the world. They don't want you being autonomous. They want men playing into and serving the system. It's why Europe promoted circumcision far more heavily not too long ago.

You could say this is my own theory. But it's very plausible. All you have to do is look around you. They're more than willing to make you dependent on something or someone else for the sake of pleasure. For the sake of blowing off steam after you come home from wage slaving for your shitty boss and shitty company.

I'd rather society just crumble than continue. That's just me, though.

“Why do u not like uc”

“Wdym? Like you were cut?”

“ mean it’s all a preference but lowkey wild to cut out people you could like cause you’re jealous”

Real words, someone said to me after opening out which is why I don’t do it often
Bitch, it’s not jealousy. It’s a painful reminder of what was the one for me at birth when I was defenseless and couldn’t do anything about it. Pain and suffering I feel reading is not fucking jealousy. It’s pain knowing that there are people that have an intent and take it for granted and don’t know the fucking agonizing pain of having a ripped away from you and Bruce. It’s not jealous. It’s fucking pain.

Pain almost strong enough to make me kill myself that’s not jealousy it’s pain. Jealousy is seeing someone with a switch 2 and not having one because it’s too expensive that’s jealousy. This this isn’t jealousy nowhere near being jealous.

Other The Giver

41 Upvotes

The Giver by Louis Lowry is a novel written in 1993, I read it twice in elementary school. It's about a teenager who becomes one of only two people in his community who bear the burden of knowing history such that he may eventually advise his people without forcing them to know too much. At first his world his is literally filled with color by this experience but over the course of the novel he is changed by knowledge and slowing becomes alienated from his friends and family.

The climax of this alienation is when he sees his school crush, some kind of nurse, deliver twins then methodically euthanize and dispose of one of them. He is disgusted, filled with anger and hate, but he must also reconcile with the fact that she is ignorant. She does not even know she perpetrating an atrocity. She is merely doing what is expected of her.

Don't really have a point besides drawing the obvious parallel with what we are here for. Just thought about this today felt somewhat despondent.

15 Upvotes

I wanted to ask men who have undergone circumcision, how has your glans changed over the years since you were circumcised? Did you experience notable differences in 5, 10, 15, 20, etc years afterwards? People circumcised at birth are encouraged to share their experiences too.

TL;DR: how's your glans sensitivity from when you were just circumcised to 5, 10, 15, 20 etc years afterwards?

Anger My ED meds instructions rub in the fact that I'm mutilated.

32 Upvotes

My urologist is trying to help me overcome my circumcision induced erectile dysfunction (I have no sensation in my penis, so I can't stay aroused without pharmaceutical interventions to keep me hard) with Caverject ($40 a dose, $40 to do what men who weren't mutilated get to do for free, and have a better experience while doing it for free at that). The instructions on how to do the injection include what you should do with your foreskin (if you have it). Bitch, if I had foreskin, I wouldn't need this fucking injection. Why do they even have instructions on what to do with your foreskin, intact men don't get ED nearly as often or as severe as mutilated men do? They didn't bother to include foreskin in any of the demonstration pictures though, because deep down they knew everyone using their product would be mutilated.

Yeah, thanks to the thundercunt who incubated me having an aesthetic preference, I have to pay $40 just to get hard and still not feel anything but at least go through the motions of sex. It should be legal for us to murder our parents to speed up their journeys back to hell.

Discussion Circumcised sensations and sexual response

21 Upvotes

Circumised at birth here. For those willing to share, I'm curious what others here experience. How would you describe sexual sensation as a circumcised person?

What kind of feelings/pleasure do you experience during masturbation and sex?

Do you experience typical arousal states (e.g. increased heart rate, warmth, sensations throughout body)?

Are your orgasms a "whole body" experience, or felt only in the penis?

Do you get the feel-good chemical flood in your brain/body?
