Circumcision Pros vs. Cons with actor Gerard Butler and Howard Stern
Circumcision pros vs cons? Actor Gerard Butler and Howard Stern discuss the benefits of being intact during this March 11, 2013 interview on the Howard Stern Show.
Being of Scottish descent, Gerard exclaims, “No, we don’t do that!” with regards to genital cutting (circumcision.) Europeans do not cut newborn babies penises. They prefer to leave ones body intact as nature intended. European doctor groups dismiss American claims that genital cutting provides health benefits.
Gerard goes on to say that he is “very sensitive.” Gerard says that being intact (uncircumcised) is “an amazing thing.” His very active romantic life has not been affected by being intact either. Gerard has been reported to have had relationships with over 20 Hollywood starlets and models including Jessica Biel, Cameron Diaz, Jennifer Aniston, and Brandi Glanville.
Howard Stern has been a outspoken critic of circumcision, stating in this interview “I am so against circumcision, you know that’s a man-made {made up} thing.” Howard goes on to say, “you know that’s got to cut down on sensitivity of your penis.” He also says, ” I’m circumcised because I grew up in America, and that’s what they do, they cut you, it’s got to be wrong.”
As you can watch from this short interview, both Howard and Gerard discuss the circumcision pros vs cons.
Gerard Butler has appeared on film, stage, and television. A trained lawyer, Butler turned to acting in the mid-1990s with small roles in productions such as the James Bond film Tomorrow Never Dies (1997), which he followed with steady work on television, most notably in the American miniseries Attila (2001). He garnered critical acclaim for his work as the lead in Joel Schumacher‘s 2004 film adaptation of the musicalThe Phantom of the Opera. In 2007, Butler gained recognition through his portrayal of King Leonidas in the film 300. Since then, he has appeared in projects including P.S. I Love You (2007), Nim’s Island (2008),RocknRolla (2008), The Ugly Truth (2009), Gamer(2009), Law Abiding Citizen (2009), The Bounty Hunter (2010), and as a voice actor in How to Train Your Dragon (2010).
wow I didn’t know about this issue. my boyfriend has no problems and he is not circumcised either. Why are americans still doing this?
If Stern would only STFU, he might learn something. Butler was about to tell him something he knows first-hand, that Stern can’t possibly know, about the pleasures of the foreskin, but Stern insisted on talking about what women think, and cheese. (I have a strange feeling of deja vu all over again writing this: I think he may have done exactly the same thing to another guest, years ago.)
I have known six friends who got circumcised as adults. They all regretted it and the loss of sensitivity
they have experienced
Imo, the penis is prettier when circumcised. My husband eas circumcised and when my doin was born in 96, his was performed in the hospital. If no regrets and my son admits he’s glad it was performed. It’s a personal thing I know but, but I’d rather it
We will attempt to reply to this comment despite the writer being grammatically challenged.
To say scarred and mutilated genitals are “prettier” is a callous, insensitive, thing to say. You are body shaming the intact male form. Before you declare intact male genitals “less pretty,” you really need to take a look at your own female genitals and what’s going on down there. Then let’s have an honest discussion about what’s less pretty. It’s ironic that while it’s inappropriate to publicly comment on women’s body attributes such as body fat, breast size, appearance, some women feel perfectly fine body shaming men for having a natural body, perfected by evolution.
Christine, how do you feel about men, in areas like Africa or the Middle East, that use patriarchy to subjugate and force women into female genital mutilation? Men there think FGM “looks better.” Because one person thinks genital mutilation looks better, does that make it ok to forcibly mutilate an innocent child’s body? Do you see the hypocrisy?
One last thing, do you really think your son can honestly discuss his penis and sexual satisfaction with his mom? If your son was intact, we would really doubt he would opt to be circumcised now. He would not want to give up the sensitivity and pleasure foreskin offers. Of course he can’t appreciate those benefits having had them taken at birth.
One other last thing, how Freudian is it for a mother to be obsessing so much over her son’s penis and her own pervy sexual preferences?
I live , grown up, and born in the USA, and female. My first was uk born and I don’t see what the big deal is about. If I he’d had boys I would have never circumcised them.
