What's the reasoning behind female mutilation? What do they actually cut off? The clit?

Sometimes, yes. FGM is just totally gross tbh. At least there CAN be reasons for male circumcision.

There's ways you can find out by googling the information , but i think it is part of that as a way to control them and stop them having sex before marriage .And people joked about males losing sensitivity well i'm pretty sure females won't be able to have normal relationships after they've been mutilated down there .

It's basically child abuse whichever way you look at it . There's nothing that should ever be removed from a girl down there .

Who did?

And, no, I'm not googling it.

I don't recall supporting this for men or women so less of the lecturing tone.

Well in general like Vicky said people are making light of men having this done , i'm sure i saw a comment about sensitivity after male circumcision? .

I wasn't lecturing i'm just telling you . But Female one will always be alot worse as there's nothing to be removed it's literally mutilation and child abuse , but at the same time it's debate able about the male one .

I said it lessens sensitivity in the bell end after someone mentioned circumcised penises giving better sexual performance.

Neither of us joked about it though.

well that's true it does doesn't it ?, but i suppose if a guy had it done as a baby and has grown up use to it then it probably wouldn't be that much of a big deal to him but who knows ?.

But adults have this done aswell , i wonder if it feels weirder for them .

Good news. I think circumcision itself is fine if somebody chooses to have it done and it certainly can have health benefits (such as with HIV rates for example) so it's not really in the same league as FGM, but I'm strongly against it being done to babies, I think that aspect of it is barbaric, it's enforced mutilation, and even though there are benefits it still isn't necessary.

My cousin had her daughters ears pierced around 1 or 2 and I was really shocked, but I was more shocked that noone else in my family seemed shocked by it at all. I was the odd one for being surprised by it I mean it's not dangerous or anything but I'd never been aware of people doing that to babies so it just seemed completely bizarre to me. I had some piercings done as a teenager and I'm pretty sure I had to be over 16.

My ex had it done for medical reasons and aside from the pain from the operation, it was definitely different for him afterwards. Reaching orgasm was more difficult at first because he found he had to do certain things a bit differently. It wasn't worse though, just different, and something he got used to.
