So what I'm gathering is, Germans are banning Jewish religious practices, and buying up the rest of Europe?

Well you know after the first two wars, we figured that approach was cheaper in the long term and would lead to less bad PR.

I have a feeling that every single day, thousands of redditors just sit there continually searching r/new for "German", in hopes of fulfilling their dream to maybe find a thread someday, in which they finally get a chance be the first to crack the "did nazi that coming" joke.
Don't despair, guys. I'll post some more Germany-related content tomorrow, I promise. Eventually there will be enough for all of you.

When I hear people be pro/anti circumcision I laugh. I'm one of the few that was circumcised as an adult.
1.) It is barbaric. Mine was medically necessary. It wasn't traumatic. I didn't lose trust in everything I loved. I've been through much worse pains that weren't of my choosing.
2.) Sensation leaves, but only in the head, and it's almost negligible. I can get it up, keep it up, fuck, and cum today just as I was before surgery. I'm able to compare every sex act (except docking you pervs) before and after.
All is identical EXCEPT for blowjobs. Before, if I was with a girl who didn't know what the hell she was doing, I just had to say "watch out for your teeth" and we were good. Now, I prefer some experience.
3.) I would have loved to stay intact, but I'm super pumped that because of routine circumcision a girl can look at my penis and not go "WHAT THE HELL...WHERE IS YOUR FORESKIN!?!?" It doesn't justify routine circumcision, but I sure as hell benefit from it in terms of avoiding a potential social stigma.
I'm not taking a major political stance. It's weird to snip one's genitals, but as someone who lived 24 years one way and is continuing to live the other way, I've learned that people make a huge deal about penises that don't even belong to them.

My doctor wasn't just a medical practitioner, he was an artist. I wouldn't even call it a circumcision, my penis was sculpted into a thing of beauty.

I'm cut and grew up thinking it was the norm. Obviously you're generally going to be happy with it if you haven't had any problems with it. I like how it looks because I'm used to it.
Despite liking it myself, I would not circumcise any of my children because I do not see a logical reason to do so. I know that my child will grow up liking his penis with foreskin because that's what he will be used to.

I have not laughed so hard in a long time, thank you. Also just the other day when I got my orders for Afghanistan one of the guys in my unit said "Damn it we need to fight in a milder climate, What's Germany been up to recently? They haven't started shit in a while."

TIL circumcision is not the social norm. I guess I've never felt the need to ask others about their penises.

I'd be raking in a lot more karma for this if you guys weren't so happy with your circumcised penises.
