The Unknown: The Silenced Voices of Circumcised Men . Millions of men were altered without consent. Their grief has been ignored, until now. Written By: ✌️๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฅ‘๐ŸŒ AvocadoJay23 | AdvocatingAvocado Introduction: The Quiet Epidemic Every year, millions of baby boys are circumcised, many without consent, without knowledge, and without future follow-up. No one asks these boys how it will affect them. No one checks in decades later. No one teaches them what was lost. They grow up in the dark, unaware of the physical, sexual, and psychological consequences of what was done to them. They become The Unknown. The forgotten. The silenced. Section I: The Numbers No One Talks About • Over 1.2 million infant circumcisions are performed annually in the United States alone[^1]. • The procedure is done before the child can consent, often based on myths or outdated beliefs. • Once it’s done, no medical or emotional follow-up is provided in most cases. Where are the long-term studies on its impact? Wh...

Why Circumcision Must Be Banned Outright: The Final Argument Against Genital Cutting

Why Circumcision Must Be Banned Outright: The Final Argument Against Genital Cutting Written By: ✌️๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฅ‘๐ŸŒ AvocadoJay23 | AdvocatingAvocado  The circumcision debate is riddled with misinformation, cultural conditioning, and outright medical corruption. Many argue that keeping circumcision legal for adults allows “choice,” but in reality, no one should ever have to consider amputating a normal, functional body part. The fact that men are still being pressured, misled, and manipulated into harming themselves well into adulthood proves one thing: Circumcision must be banned outright. Here’s why: 1. Even at 18, Males Are Misinformed, Pressured, and Set Up for Harm Some claim that circumcision should remain legal for adults to “choose” at 18. But let’s be real—how many of these men are making an informed decision? Almost none. • Influence and Misinformation: Young men grow up hearing one-sided narratives that circumcision is “cleaner,” “better,” or “necessary.” They aren’t given the ful...

Regret Parents: When Parents Realize Circumcision Was a Mistake Written By: ✌️๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฅ‘๐ŸŒ AvocadoJay23 | AdvocatingAvocado Introduction: What Are Regret Parents? Every day, parents make medical decisions for their children, trusting doctors to guide them with the best advice. One of the most common—and most irreversible—procedures performed on infants in certain countries is circumcision. Many parents consent to it without much thought, believing it to be routine, harmless, or even beneficial. But what happens when a parent realizes they made the wrong choice? “Regret parents” are those who later learn the truth about circumcision and deeply regret their decision. Many wish they had known more before consenting to the procedure. Some feel betrayed by doctors, misled by outdated myths, or horrified to discover what was actually taken from their child. This article explores why so many parents regret circumcision, the emotional toll it takes on them, and how they can turn their regret int...

The Foreskin: The Lost Treasure of Male Anatomy Written By: ✌️๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฅ‘๐ŸŒ AvocadoJay23 | AdvocatingAvocado Introduction: A Hidden Gem of Human Biology In modern discourse, few aspects of the male body are as misunderstood, dismissed, or outright ignored as the foreskin. While it has been surgically removed from millions of men at birth—often without their knowledge or consent—its true value remains largely unspoken. Yet, the foreskin is not a mere “flap of skin” but a sophisticated, functional, and biologically significant part of the male anatomy. This article explores the anatomy, functions, and cultural history of the foreskin, revealing why it is truly a lost treasure of human biology. The Foreskin: A Masterpiece of Design The foreskin (also called the prepuce) is not a useless remnant of evolution but a carefully designed part of the male reproductive system. Its structure includes multiple layers of specialized tissue, each serving important protective and sensory functions. Key F...

Circumcision, the CIA, and MK-Ultra: The Disturbing History of Government-Backed Human Experiments

Circumcision, the CIA, and MK-Ultra: The Disturbing History of Government-Backed Human Experiments Written By: ✌️๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฅ‘๐ŸŒ AvocadoJay23 | AdvocatingAvocado  Introduction: The CIA’s Secret Experiments on Children In 1977, a declassified CIA document revealed that the agency had conducted circumcision experiments on young boys as part of its infamous MK-Ultra mind control program. These experiments, conducted in 1961 on 15 low-income boys aged 5 to 7, sought to determine whether circumcision could cause lasting emotional trauma, including castration anxiety and psychological distress. This chilling revelation raises serious ethical concerns about the non-consensual mutilation of children, the abuse of low-income families in medical research, and the larger implications of using circumcision as a tool of psychological control. MK-Ultra and the Quest for Behavioral Control The MK-Ultra project, run by the CIA from the 1950s to the early 1970s, was a covert operation aimed at studying hum...

Circumcision and Suicide: The Unspoken Trauma Written By: ✌️๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฅ‘๐ŸŒ AvocadoJay23 | AdvocatingAvocado Introduction Circumcision is often framed as a routine or harmless procedure, yet many men who have undergone it without their consent report lifelong emotional and physical distress. Some experience severe psychological repercussions, including depression, anxiety, sexual dysfunction, and even suicidal ideation. The trauma of non-consensual genital cutting is rarely acknowledged in mainstream discourse, leaving affected individuals feeling isolated and unheard. This article explores the link between circumcision and suicide, sharing real stories and testimonials while providing medical, psychological, and sociological perspectives. We also examine the phenomenon of phantom limb syndrome in circumcised men—an unsettling yet rarely discussed experience where individuals “feel” the missing part of their body long after it has been removed.

Why Does America Disrespect Its Boys? A Look at Circumcision vs. Japan’s Culture of Respect Written By: ✌️๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฅ‘๐ŸŒ AvocadoJay23 | AdvocatingAvocado Introduction Japan is known for its emphasis on respect, health, manners, and societal harmony. From childhood to adulthood, Japanese culture promotes the well-being of its people, fostering a society built on mutual respect, discipline, and holistic care. So why is it that in the U.S., a country that prides itself on progress and human rights, we disrespect and harm baby boys through circumcision, a practice that is virtually nonexistent in Japan and most of the world? This article explores the stark contrast between Japan’s cultural values of respect and health versus America’s routine circumcision culture, questioning why the U.S. continues to normalize the unnecessary violation of male infants. Japan’s Culture of Respect for the Body and Health Japan has one of the highest life expectancies and lowest infant mortality rates in the wor...

Why I Write About Intactivism and Advocate for Bodily Autonomy Written By: ✌️๐Ÿ’š๐Ÿฅ‘๐ŸŒ AvocadoJay23 | AdvocatingAvocado I often get asked, “Why do you write about this?” or “Why did you become an intactivist?” The answer is deeply personal, and while I won’t share everything, I will say this this issue is real, and it affects countless men in ways society rarely acknowledges. The Hidden Pain of Circumcision: Stories No One Talks About As a teenager, I started encountering men who had been circumcised and were struggling with profound emotional pain. Some were suicidal, depressed, and burdened by a sense of loss they never chose. These weren’t just rare cases they were real people, living with trauma that was never fully addressed. Many of them suffered from botched circumcisions, excessive tightness, painful erections, loss of sensitivity, or other complications, but they couldn’t talk to their parents about it. They couldn’t get medical help because doctors often dismissed their conc...
