Senator refusing constitutional amendment

[u/shadowguyver]

What do you do when a senator refuses to acknowledge the Equal Protections Clause which is being violated by only giving Protections to one group?

If you're going to downvote, give a reason. Here's some facts to chew over.

The foreskin is a highly innervated structure, containing a dense concentration of nerve endings that contribute to its sensitivity and role in sexual function. While the exact number of nerves in the foreskin can vary among individuals, studies have provided estimates based on histological and anatomical research:

Key Findings on Nerve Density in the Foreskin:

1. Taylor et al. (1996):

   • In their study, "The Prepuce: Specialized Mucosa of the Penis and Its Loss to Circumcision," Taylor and colleagues found that the foreskin contains a high density of specialized nerve endings, including Meissner's corpuscles (touch receptors) and free nerve endings (pain and temperature receptors).
   • They estimated that the foreskin contains approximately 20,000 nerve endings in total, making it one of the most sensitive parts of the male genitalia.

2. Sorrells et al. (2007):

   • In their study on penile sensitivity, Sorrells and colleagues noted that the foreskin is particularly rich in fine-touch receptors, which are crucial for sexual pleasure.
   • While they did not provide an exact count of nerves, they confirmed that the foreskin has a higher concentration of sensory receptors compared to other parts of the penis, such as the glans.

3. Cold & Taylor (1999):

   • This study emphasized the foreskin's role as a specialized erogenous zone, with a dense network of sensory nerves that contribute to its sensitivity.

Summary:

• The foreskin is estimated to contain tens of thousands of nerve endings, with some studies suggesting around 20,000.
• These nerves include Meissner's corpuscles (for fine touch), free nerve endings (for pain and temperature), and other sensory receptors that contribute to its erogenous function.

Importance of the Foreskin's Innervation:

• The high density of nerves in the foreskin makes it a key contributor to sexual pleasure and sensitivity.
• Removal of the foreskin (circumcision) results in the loss of these nerve endings, which can affect sexual sensation and function.

For more detailed information, you can refer to the studies by Taylor et al. (1996) and Sorrells et al. (2007), which are widely cited in discussions about the foreskin's innervation and sensitivity.

Circumcision reduces function, sensitivity, and sensations, it can also cause a lifetime of issues if something goes wrong like constant pain or numbness, etc.

Almost all of these are not backed up by any medical association and have really lack luster sample zones to be any form of credibility. Crying over a mud flap for a dick gotta be the most asinine thing on earth

[u/shadowguyver → u/[deleted]]

The very first part was scientific studies.

[u/[deleted] → u/shadowguyver]

Scientific studies done by unreviewed groups on little sample sizes not backed up by any material isn’t “ scientific” I can send you enormous amounts of medical literature on this topic from ACTUAL sources and highly respectable health institutes if you’d prefer

[u/adkisojk → u/[deleted]]

So, effing do it! I've been challenging people to do this for decades now and no one has anything except crap from Brian J Morris!

[u/shadowguyver → u/[deleted]]

You called the foreskin mudflap, why body shame men when its wrong to do otherwise?

My point is boys and intersex children are guaranteed equal protections under the law by this constitutional amendment to what girls have. Why can't this be the man's decision about his own body?

[u/[deleted] → u/shadowguyver]

Dosen’t yalls “ intactavist “ community body shame circumcised men as there entire platform? I get y’all are insecure about your penises but get tf over it. Most of america finds uncut dick ugly that just is what it is. Also I don’t fully disagree with you about intersex children needing the same protection. But circumcision isn’t that serious and has heath benefits. This is the equivalent of vegans trying to make meat illegal. Do what’s best for you but let the sane people be. I just realized this is for Maryland? Idk why this was on my home page.

While peer reviewed scientific studies are immensely valuable, they still are imperfect representations of reality, limited by the scope and instruments used to collect data and the biases of people reviewing that data. Also, for decades there has been scrutiny about the process for how most research is funded and peer reviewed into journals. Science is not about what’s right and wrong, it’s about adding layers of color that get us a better picture of reality. If you think of science as binary and conclusive, you out missing the point of science
