{{Zitat
|first=Jake H.

  |Text=Jake is still at it ... trying to convince people that his personal preference for the genitally mutilated penis should be embraced by everyone. He cites studies and argues points, but then you learn that his REAL interest is not in facts, but in his life-long fascination for genital cutting, and for the permanently exposed glans.

If Jake gets off on these things, fine, but why try to convince other people to share his childhood fantasy? Might it be a lack of self-confidence and a craving for the approval and support from others? After all, it was a childhood fantasy that turned him on to genital cutting ... NOT any studies.

Six days ago, <span style="background:#d7f5ff">I finally got circumcised</span> by Dr. Zarifa of London.  he was very
 
agreeable and performed at my request what looks like it will be a 'total' circumcision (ie one that is tight when flaccid and the skin completely immobile and slightly shiny when erect, with <span style="background:#d7f5ff">public hair and the scrotum pulled onto the lower shaft</span>).  The scar line is about half way down my shaft when flacid (I'm still trying to minimize erections so watch this space for later reports).
 
  
There is still some pain and swelling as I would expect, but everything seems to be healing ok.  I'm taking a multivitamin and B and C suplements in order to help things along.  I guess I'll start with vitamin E in a few days.

In the case of Jake. Jake spent many years wishing he had been circumcised he did tons of research on circumcision, and then he purchased and received a circumcision, and then there was the healing process. All these elaborate efforts and rituals add to the invested interest which must be defended. The more time spent on the product you are building, the research spent on an action you are about to perform, the more time in invest in such a matter, the more irreversible the decision, the more you over inflate the value of your end choice. And consequently the more you become predisposed to stronger feelings of cognitive dissonance. People like Jake will most likely experience permanent and strong feelings of cognitive dissonance. Jake is an extreme in all these categories.
something that I've regretted *not* having done since age 5!</span>
 
  
I'm pleased to report that it's now day 9.  I've taken all but one of the stitches
 
out.  The bruising has gone, and the skin has bonded well on the top and right
 
sides.  Dr. Zarifa warned me that the skin would open a little due to the tightness,
 
and sure enough on the left and underside it has.  He assured me that this would
 
fill in and become a neat line, so I am trusting the mysterious processes of the
 
human body to do this.  I'm getting a couple of drops of blood from the frenulum
 
area from nighttime erections.  The swelling is slowly going down, though it has by
 
no means gone.

Jake

Here is Jakes free choice paradigm right here. He wanted to be circumcised and he had already made up his decision about the results before experiencing them. This is the very definition of the free thought paradigm. He had spent a life time embellishing his goal of being circumcised.

Dissonance is aroused when people are confronted with information that is inconsistent with their beliefs. If the dissonance is not reduced by changing one's belief, the dissonance can result in misperception or rejection or refutation of the information, seeking support from others who share the beliefs, and attempting to persuade others to restore consonance.<ref name=Festinger1957/>

As many of you know from my earlier posts, I am attempting keep at least some semblance of reason in a public, theoretically circ-neutral forum. I recognize that some people here don't see any point in trying this, but I do. People do go to that kind of place for advice, and I can't just stand by and let the
 
anti-circ lies get spread around. Maybe I'm an idealist fool.
 
 
 
Some (a minority) of them will stop at nothing to try to hide the facts. It's incredible how low they are prepared to stoop in their attempts to discredit. I'm currently defending us against these allegations:
 
  
<span style="background:#d7f5ff">"he's a member of circlist (and procirc) and we all know they masturbate to videos, stories and photos of children being circumcised."</span>
+
Hence his conquest to restore  consonance begins.
  
<span style="background:#d7f5ff">"You people are a disgusting bunch of paedophiles"</span>
+
The individual believer must have social support. It is unlikely that one isolated believer could withstand the kind of disconfirming evidence that has been specified. If, however, the believer is a member of a group of convinced persons who can support one another, the belief may be maintained and the believers may attempt to proselyte or persuade nonmembers that the belief is correct.<ref name=Festinger1957/>

Psychological projection or projection bias is a psychological defense mechanism where a person unconsciously denies his or her own attributes, thoughts, and emotions, which are then ascribed to the outside world, such as to other people.

I think that you should consider how they will feel in years to come. Nobody can know for sure, but you and your girlfriend will be bringing them up, so you're in the best position to guess.

Which doesn't make much sense since he got to chose the type of cut he wanted.
  
I'd say if you can put your hand on your heart and say that your sons will appreciate it, then there's no reason not to go ahead. But if there's doubt in your mind, I wouldn't advise it.
 
 
While 10 months is too young, <span style="background:#d7f5ff">it ought to be possible (if challenging) to talk to a three year old about this, and I think his wishes should be taken into account.</span>
 
 
That's my opinion.

When I first found Circlist.org (as it was then), I had just begun searching for information about circumcision.  At the time I had been thinking about getting circumcised for some time, but I was hesitant and uncertain. I felt, as must so many of us, that I was weird, strange, and probably alone in the world for wanting what I did.
 
 
 
My early internet searches brought up the usual anti-circ tripe, and though I was naive I sensed even then that they weren't entirely truthful.  I kept on looking, and then I chanced on Circlist.org. Here were testimonials and  intelligent comments from hundreds of men who had done it!  <span style="background:#d7f5ff">I read -- no devoured -- the site</span>, and in spite of my shyness filled out the application form to join the list.
 
 
 
<span style="background:#d7f5ff">I will never forget the feeling of not being alone, being among like-minded people. Circlist for me has always been a place to have intelligent, thoughtful discussion about circumcision, and a place to talk to like-minded individuals.</span> But, most importantly, its a place to return the favour, and help and advise those who are considering circumcision.
 
 
 
End of speech.

Jake. H. Waskett

Motivation

Jake is still at it ... trying to convince people that his personal preference for the genitally mutilated penis should be embraced by everyone. He cites studies and argues points, but then you learn that his REAL interest is not in facts, but in his life-long fascination for genital cutting, and for the permanently exposed glans. If Jake gets off on these things, fine, but why try to convince other people to share his childhood fantasy? Might it be a lack of self-confidence and a craving for the approval and support from others? After all, it was a childhood fantasy that turned him on to genital cutting ... NOT any studies. (Joe.ie)[1]

Fallstudie

Understanding Jake requires understanding of several common and several bizarre psychological phenomenon. The common ones are projection and cognitive dissonance. The bizarre ones are Apotemnophilia, Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID), and Acrotomophilia.

Kognitive Dissonanz (Paradigma der freien Gedanken)

The person holding the belief must have committed himself to it; that is, for the sake of his belief, he must have taken some important action that is difficult to undo. In general, the more important such actions are, and the more difficult they are to undo, the greater is the individual's commitment to the belief.[2]

This Phenomena has been widely documented. When an important decision is made people evaluate there end result higher then they would have if they did not make the decision.

Using the free choice paradigm and an MRI, Sharot and colleagues have shown that after making a choice, activity in the striatum changes to reflect the new evaluation of the choice object, increasing if the object was chosen and decreasing if it was rejected.[3] Follow-up studies have largely confirmed these results.[4][5] In other words people are actually programed to think this way.

In a different type of experiment conducted by Jack Brehm[6], 225 female students rated a series of common appliances and were then allowed to choose one of two appliances to take home as a gift. A second round of ratings showed that the participants increased their ratings of the item they chose, and lowered their ratings of the rejected item. This can be explained in terms of cognitive dissonance. When making a difficult decision, there are always aspects of the rejected choice that one finds appealing and these features are dissonant with choosing something else.

Dissonance is aroused whenever individuals voluntarily engage in an unpleasant activity to achieve some desired goal. Dissonance can be reduced by exaggerating the desirability of the goal. Aronson & Mills[7] had individuals undergo a severe or mild "initiation" in order to become a member of a group. In the severe-initiation condition, the individuals engaged in an embarrassing activity. The group turned out to be very dull and boring. The individuals in the severe-initiation condition evaluated the group as more interesting than the individuals in the mild-initiation condition.

Similarly the authors of the “ikea effect” state:
Our research shows that labor enhances affection for its results. When people construct products themselves, from bookshelves to Build-a-Bears, they come to overvalue their (often poorly made) creations. We call this phenomenon the IKEA effect, in honor of the wildly successful Swedish manufacturer whose products typically arrive with some assembly required. (danariely.com)[8]

Kognitive Dissonanz in Bezug auf Jake

In the case of Jake. Jake spent many years wishing he had been circumcised he did tons of research on circumcision, and then he purchased and received a circumcision, and then there was the healing process. All these elaborate efforts and rituals add to the invested interest which must be defended. The more time spent on the product you are building, the research spent on an action you are about to perform, the more time in invest in such a matter, the more irreversible the decision, the more you over inflate the value of your end choice. And consequently the more you become predisposed to stronger feelings of cognitive dissonance. People like Jake will most likely experience permanent and strong feelings of cognitive dissonance. Jake is an extreme in all these categories.

After getting circumcised Jake is quoted:
But finally, I had what I wanted. And now I love my dick. (Adequacy.org)[9]
In another post Jake said:
I find it difficult to believe that I would regret something that I've regretted *not* having done since age 5! (Yahoo Circlist. Message #26333, 2003 July 30th)

Here is Jakes free choice paradigm right here. He wanted to be circumcised and he had already made up his decision about the results before experiencing them. This is the very definition of the free thought paradigm. He had spent a life time embellishing his goal of being circumcised.

Dissonance is aroused when people are confronted with information that is inconsistent with their beliefs. If the dissonance is not reduced by changing one's belief, the dissonance can result in misperception or rejection or refutation of the information, seeking support from others who share the beliefs, and attempting to persuade others to restore consonance.[2]

In another post Jake said:
I'm in favour of informing the public, parents especially (Yahoo RoundHeadsUK. Message #2, 2006 Mar 10th)

Hence his conquest to restore consonance begins.

The individual believer must have social support. It is unlikely that one isolated believer could withstand the kind of disconfirming evidence that has been specified. If, however, the believer is a member of a group of convinced persons who can support one another, the belief may be maintained and the believers may attempt to proselyte or persuade nonmembers that the belief is correct.[2]

In another post Jake said:
I will never forget the feeling of not being alone, being among like-minded people. Circlist for me has always been a place to have intelligent, thoughtful discussion about circumcision, and a place to talk to like-minded individuals (Google Circlist. Message #**, 2005 Ma7 24th 12:06pm)

Circlist is a pro circumcision web site, here Jake has found the social support necessary to grow his ideas.

Projektion

Psychological projection or projection bias is a psychological defense mechanism where a person unconsciously denies his or her own attributes, thoughts, and emotions, which are then ascribed to the outside world, such as to other people. Thus, projection involves imagining or projecting the belief that others have those feelings.[10]

Projektion in Bezug auf Jake

His personal fantasy is to have been circumcised as an infant.

Jake says:
I think that failing to circumcise a boy in his infancy actually denies him a choice. Because it is so difficult to get circumcised as an adult. I gather it's a lot easier in the US, but here in the UK it is nearly impossible. I speak from experience. (Adequacy.org)[9]

Which doesn't make much sense since he got to chose the type of cut he wanted.

Jake says:
The scar line is about half way down my shaft when flaccid (Yahoo Circlist. Message #26279, 2003 July 27th 4:00am)

He projects this preference on other people by promoting circumcision.

In another post Jake said
I'm in favour of informing the public, parents especially... I would personally choose to circumcise a son (and hopefully I will one day adopt) (Yahoo RoundHeadsUK. Message #2, 2006 Mar 10th)

Adopting because Jake is a homosexual.

Here he is showing his projection of his his own preference for circumcision on to others.

Jakes Rationalisierungen seiner Projektionen

He also uses flawed Internet surveys and study's to rationalize his projection.[11][12][13] Some of these anonymous internet surveys and study's conclude that intact men desired circumcision and that circumcised men where content. However, only one study he uses was actually published in a peer reviewed journal, and it found that people where incorrect about their own circumcision status at an alarming rate.[14] This makes the results of self reporting scrupulous. Furthermore Intact men are typically made to feel outcast in a majority circumcised U.S. Since humans value conformity so much[15] this effect, if it exists, will exist no longer because the majority of children born today in the U.S. are left intact.[16] Also, younger people tend to value conformity more then adults, so an internet surveys geared toward younger people will yield results infavor of conformity.

Therefore It is irrational to project a preference for circumcision onto infant children based on such information.

Jake goes further to supply study's of adult men who underwent circumcision, some study participants reported an improvement,[17] Another study was from Africa where sexual practices have absolutely no resemblance of sexual practices in the U.S.[18] In any event it is flawed to use such study's to rationalize a projection because as i discussed above in the section on cognitive dissonance, human animals are programed to over state the value of their end decision while simultaneously rationalizing the effort it took to get irreversibly circumcised as an adult.

Jake goes on to use another study of self assessment in determining the sensitivity of the foreskin.[19] But as discussed earlier people are not even able to determine their own circumcision status much less the five components of the foreskin and their sensitivity.

In any event Jake has combed the internet for what ever information, flawed or not, he required in order to rationalize his projections.

Apotemnophilie

Jake may also suffer from these disorders.

Apotemnophilie is a neurological disorder in which otherwise sane and rational individuals express a strong and specific desire for the amputation of a healthy limb or limbs.[20] There is often a sexual interest in becoming an amputee.[21]

One of his piers said: “Some of us who do get erotic and sexual gratification out of not only the finished product, but also the procedure itself.” The “finished product” is the sexual interest in becoming an amputee and the “procedure itself” is akin to the IKEA effect that was previously discussed.

Identitätsstörung der Körperintegrität (BIID)

Body Integrity Identity Disorder (BIID), formerly known as Amputee Identity Disorder, is a neurological and psychological disorder that makes sufferers feel they would be happier living as an amputee. It is typically accompanied by the desire to amputate one or more healthy limbs to achieve that end.[22]

Akrotomophilie

Akrotomophilie refers to a paraphilia in which an individual expresses strong sexual interest in amputees.[23]
