He shares his personal journey of discovering the harms of circumcision and his passion for advocating against it. The conversation explores the cultural and societal factors that contribute to the continuation of circumcision, as well as the physical and psychological impacts it has on individuals. The importance of informed consent and questioning societal norms is emphasized. The conversation also touches on the comparison between male and female genital cutting and the need for greater accountability and change in medical practices. The conversation explores the ethical arguments against male circumcision and the importance of bodily autonomy. It highlights the cultural programming and societal norms that influence people's perspectives on circumcision. The discussion emphasizes the need for men to shift their perspective and see circumcision as something that happened to them, not as an immutable part of their identity. It also touches on the importance of uncomfortable conversations and conflict resolution in relationships. The conversation concludes with advice for parents who are deciding whether or not to circumcise their child.TakeawaysCircumcision is a topic that requires education and awareness, as it impacts every person in America in some way.There is a disproportionate lack of public conversation about circumcision, despite its personal and societal implications.Circumcision removes 50% of the shaft skin of the penis, the highest density nerve endings, and is often done without anesthesia, causing lasting changes in behavior and sexuality.Circumcision is an irreversible and painful procedure that should be approached with informed consent and consideration of the physical and psychological impacts.There is a need for greater accountability and change in medical practices surrounding circumcision, as well as a reevaluation of cultural and societal norms.The comparison between male and female genital cutting highlights the need for consistent ethical standards and the recognition of individual autonomy and bodily integrity. Male circumcision raises ethical questions and challenges the concept of bodily autonomy.Cultural programming and societal norms influence people's perspectives on circumcision.Men need to shift their perspective and see circumcision as something that happened to them, not as an immutable part of their identity.Uncomfortable conversations and conflict resolution are important skills to develop in relationships.Parents should consider their values and the impact of their decisions on their child's bodily autonomy.Proper care for intact genitals is simple and does not require any special procedures.Please feel free to reach out to us with any recommendations for show episode ideas.

Phew. This episode was a HARD one. This subject is so contentious and so emotive, because so many of us are inextricably linked to it emotionally.   BUT … regardless of my own history with the subject, or any subject, my priority is always going to be the TRUTH, regardless of how uncomfortable that truth might be or what sort of structure or belief I've held around it.   Brendon Marotta made the film American Circumcision, and wherever you stand on the debate, I highly recommend watching the film, with an open heart and open mind, and listening to this episode to hear just how open-minded Brendon himself is.   There are some conversations I'm so grateful to have the opportunity to have via the medium of this podcast, and this is one of them.

Episode #54- Speed Bumps are Lift Off Points with Brendon Marotta In this episode I chat with Brendon Marotta, producer of American Circumcision, author of Children's Justice, and host of the Brendon Marotta show. We discussed how trauma is a cycle and the snowball effect of trauma, including circumcision. Brendon shares how he uses the completion process by Teal Swan to process his childhood so he can be the best father and break the trauma cycle. Brendon explains the push back to his documentary and the attempts to pass laws against infant male circumcision.  Speed bumps are often viewed as a negative thing by society, but all they really do is force us to slow down and take stock of a situation. Everyone has a story, but often we feel all alone in our speed bumps, like no one understands. Speed Bumps is a podcast where people can share their experiences in the hopes of building community.  You can connect with Brendon on https://www.hegemonmedia.com/ https://brendonmarotta.com/  Instagram @bdmarotta Podcast  The Brendon Marotta Show on all platforms You can connect with me Instagram @onethumbel and @speed.bumps.podcast Connect with me at https://campsite.bio/onethumbel  Email me at speedbumpspodcast@gmail.com  Intro Song- Found My Way by madirfan from https://pixabay.com   Outro Song- Firefly by madirfan from https://pixabay.com - #radialclubbedhand #limbdifferent #limbdifference #disability #disabilityawareness #disabled #disability #tetralogyoffallot #tenfingersareoverrated #speedbumps #circumcision #childrensjustice #generationaltrauma #freedom #causeandeffect #malegenitalmutilation #intactivist #foreskin #menshealth --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/speed-bumps/support

In my days as a resident doing hundreds of circumcisions, I didn't give much thought to the implications. We were taught the benefits of the procedure and counseled patients the same. But outside of religious rites, the United States is the only nation that circumcises infants in this standardized way. So, why do we continue to cut the genitals of our newborn baby males when the rest of the world does not? This is the question filmmaker and author Brendon Marotta set out to answer in his latest film, American Circumcision. The film explores both sides of the circumcision debate, and it's won multiple awards. It's a very polarising topic, but Brendon takes an unbiased approach, featuring numerous experts for and against.

I'm not going to lie, this is not an easy conversation, but it's one worth listening to. It may challenge decisions already made in your life, but it also opens the door to creating positive change for future generations and the possibility for helping ourselves and loved ones heal from a root cause level.Brendon Marotta is a filmmaker, author, podcaster, public speaker, and father.

A must listen for every human! Especially if you are going to birth a son in the near future.Circumcision is the most popular medical surgery in USA today. But somehow it got to the point of it being performed for health reasons more that religious reasons. However, the claimed “health benefits” are based on flawed science, and in contrast, circumcision has alarming health and traumatic dangers.But is there valuable ancient wisdom based in this rite of passage that religious and indigenous cultures have been performing for centuries?Or has the essence of these rite of passages been misunderstood?Is circumcision a violation of human rights? or are parents confidently making responsible and informed decisions?Our guest, filmmaker, public speaker and very passionate and active man, Brendon Marotta, made an award winning film: American circumcision, which presents science and opinions from both sides of the decision - to circumcise or not.  The film presents religious leaders, doctors, lawyers and human rights spokespeople on both sides.This is one of the most important podcast episodes on the Vital Veda Show, as the act of circumcising or not is a highly influential non-reversible act.IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS:

The routine practice of circumcision on baby boys in the United States has become a cultural norm whose benefit and purpose is seldom questioned. Citing sanitation and health benefits to the upholding of ancient religious beliefs, proponents of the practice defend it's necessity. But for those who oppose the practice, a different story emerges. Through their eyes we are shown a practice that is not supported by scientific fact but rather held up by outdated and often misinformed moral and cultural beliefs, raising questions about human rights, the right to pleasure, and the role of consent. Join me today as I interview documentary filmmaker Brendon Marotta about his groundbreaking documentary American Circumcision where you will hear the shocking facts about this practice, what female circumcision has to do with male circumcision, and the path towards individual and collective healing. Then decide for yourself where you stand on this important issue. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/sextalkcafe/support

It’s just a few days before the 4th of July here in the United States and this FREE podcast episode is all about FREEDOM. The FREEDOM to pit two similarly themed (or similarly titled) documentaries together for some FREE brutality is what all these Chinese manufactured fireworks are all about. Stuart and Bob tear off their shirts for this VERSUS episode and they pit “American Meme” by Bert Marcus violently against Brendon Marotta’s “American Circumcision”. This conflict between two Americas will be decided here. Both docs are on Netflix. The question of what is better, memes or circumcision, can finally be laid to rest. INTERNET JOKES or DICK SKIN REMOVAL? Don’t think about it for one more second. Let us do the thinking for you. ALSO, there’s a reference to Bob getting his gall bladder removed. ALSO, we got some weird sponsors for this episode. ALSO, you should never perform circumcision with a sparkler. ALSO, FREEDOM MUTHAFUKAH FREEDOM! Only this documentary themed podcast can heal a nation, and if you don't like it THEN GET THE FUCK OUT! I’m sorry. That’s too aggressive. That’s not in the spirit of memes OR circumcision, and we apologize profusely. Keep on FUCKING FREEDOM!!!

Brendon Marotta spent 6+ years making a film, which is in itself rather extraordinary, but add that to the fact this film is a documentary taking a look at the issues surrounding the practice of circumcision, and you've got something truly remarkable. Going into this episode, I have to admit, I wasn't sure where it was going to go, or what kind of conversation it would be. I was honestly pretty stunned. I've had an opinion around this issue for some time, but it was never something that I thought about deeply, and to find someone so well informed and passionate around the practice, I was startled into awareness of a tension and movement that I had no idea existed. Brendon is a dude with a lot of heart, and his interest lies in developing the ability for people to understand and experience the emotions and effects that the practice of circumcision brings up in themselves and the people around them. It was a fascinating conversation, and I guarantee you'll come away having learned a great deal about a subject that, for the vast majority of people, is something normally avoided and rarely brought to light. Tune in and deepen your understanding of the issue, and of people in general. Want more from Brendon?

Some people call it circumcision. I call it male genital mutilation. In the name of being “normal, under the guise of dubious health claims, America has been waging a war on young men's bodies for decades now – but a new documentary is starting a conversation about why we’re mutilating babies, and I've been waiting for this to happen for years. Today our guest is Brendon Marotta, the director of American Circumcision. Like a lot of us, Brendon never really thought about circumcision for most of his life. It already happened and there’s nothing you can do about that, so why bother thinking about it? But this is the most common surgery in America, so it affects people on such a scale and in such a personal way that it’s crazy we aren’t thinking and talking more about it. If there was another issue that affected, in some way, almost every single person in the country – whether you’re a circumcised man, a partner, or a parent – wouldn’t we be talking about it all the time? We’re afraid to talk about it because it’s such a taboo subject – but today, we break that taboo and have a much-needed conversation about male genital mutilation.   Topics Discussed In This Episode: Why Brendon first started investigating circumcision What inspired him to start making the film The process of foreskin restoration that some men are undergoing today, which allows them to partially restore that part of their body + other ways men are reclaiming sensation Giving people permission to talk about this deeply personal subject How “red pill” moments inspire us to investigate the truth How society turns men into “success objects” and diminishes anything viewed as complaining The incredible bravery of standing up to your tribe How circumcision deprives men of multiple orgasms and a lot of pleasure Soraya Mire, the heroic female genital mutilation survivor who helped pass the Federal law against FGM in 1996 (which has since been overturned, unfortunately) The medical and religious history of circumcision The kind of circumcision described in the Old Testament isn’t even the same kind of circumcision performed today – and in the New Testament, it’s called an abomination Circumcision began as a cure for masturbation, meant to hinder future sexual development and pleasure The fake AIDS testing done to prove this surgery’s necessity What the procedure is like for baby boys (spoiler: it’s horrifying) The PTSD and trauma that many men likely experience due to going through this painful procedure Breaking down masculinity and toxic masculinity, and the role of empathy in masculinity The backlash against American Circumcision and other similar films (like The Red Pill)   More about this episode.

Myths Surrounding Circumcision For This week's episode, I interviewed Brendon Marotta, the director of the documentary film called American Circumcision that was newly released on Netflix.  We talked about how much of what we're told about circumcision is a plain myth and how those myths must be addressed before the conversation can move forward. For one, many medical aspects we were told about circumcision either aren't true or are extremely exaggerated while the risks are majorly downplayed. Also, unless there was an extreme botch that's immediately noticed, they almost always go unreported and many problems aren't revealed until the male has reached puberty. This makes it very unlikely that the dots will be connected 15+ years down the line.  Another aspect of the conversation I find to be very interesting is asking the question if we even have to right to remove part of a vital organ without someone's consent? Is that a violation of rights even if there were actually medical benefits to it? Doesn't that seem like an extreme solution for something that is a preventative measure? Other aspects we discussed include: How it's so normalized we've lost our ability to objectively look at the practice. (i.e. suggesting to cut off part of a newborns pinky finger as a preventative measure would seem crazy, but when it's male genitalia we don't blink an eye) Many forget that it is a surgery and the risks must be weighed before agreeing to move forward with it It's the only preventative surgery that is done and the only type of surgery that doesn't include a prolonged routine follow-up to make sure there were no complications All genitalia practices are cultural and something that happens at the identity level (i.e. men say "I AM circumcised" not "I HAD a circumcision") It is generally not a skilled surgeon performing the surgery, but often medical students who have only done one or two prior Infants CAN and DO remember the pain from circumcision (somatic memory - see studies linked below) Circumcision was used in the Victorian era as a means to desensitize the penis in hopes of preventing masturbation (they now claim that no feeling is lost from removing the foreskin) Religious aspects of the conversation including: how it originally was a much smaller procedure when done as a religious ceremony and how the practice is actually not supported by Christianity  It was such an intriguing conversation with Brendon and brought many nuances to light. However, I highly recommend watching the full film over on Netflix or at circumcisionmovie.com.

Brendon Marotta is an award-winning filmmaker based out of Austin, Texas. He graduated from the University of North Carolina School of the Arts Film School, to work as a professional film editor. His first feature-length documentary as director is called American Circumcision. (You'll never guess what it's about.) We spoke about why male circumcision is problematic, the dubious health benefits of getting circumcized, and whether there's any chance of passing laws to prevent the procedure (at least without consent of the patient).

How do you feel about your circumcision (or lack thereof)? In this highly controversial episode, Destin speaks with Brendon Marotta, the director and creator of the upcoming documentary: American Circumcision.
