Yeah, 'MGM' is nothing like FGM. FGM is utterly utterly barbaric and cannot really be compared to circumscision. Mind, I do not think that parm was doing that. But I guess even terming it MGM is..comparing it in a way. As you said.

I do disagree to no downsides of circumscision though tbh. There might not be physical downsides, but I have read hundreds of accounts of blokes really pissed off and upset about their parents removing part of them without consent. So there are mental downsides it seems.

Apparently it reduces sensitivity aswell so in theory sex may be affected a bit afterwards, although a man who has always been circumcised since becoming sexually active wouldn't be able to compare it to sex without circumcision
