cut people are usually fairly desensitised...

I can't believe the fuss about this, it is almost as if people are trying to defend their own penis'. They don't wan't to feel sexually inferior.

[Armani]

Why is circumcision even an issue?

 

[PookieMonster]

[Bone577]

This is not Politics, News or Current Affairs at all.

I think they are all trying to make up for something

This is kind of a contraversial topic with differing opinions and something my older brother had to decide on last week when his baby son was born.

If you had a baby son:

1. would you have him circumcised or not?
2. If so, why. If not why not?

Also state your age, gender, location, and if you're male whether you were circumcised or not.

BTW, my brother decided to have him done.

My understanding is that some traditions enforce circumcision for religious reasons. I've heard that it's actually cleaner for a male to be circumcised, but this is probably just a rumour. A baby would heal from the procedure in a few days, but a grown man would have to undergo surgery. The point is, why would you want to cut off a bit of skin?

Everyone should already know the for and against.

It is very little either way; cut = cleaner, but who cares if you have enough brains to manage to clean underneath it. That is about as far as it goes realy.

dont you think that the health reasons put are rather spurious?

the arguments go both ways...i can find some medical journal sources for you if you really want. personally, on the balance of probabilities im convinced that the snip is the way to go...

then again we have the question of 'informed consent', but legally a parent is supposed to look after their children's welfare until they become autonomous and/or of sound mental capacity to understand the complications of their treatment plan(s).

Ethically is another issue- one might be hesitant on the basis that their children might hate them for it afterwards...but I don't think that this should be the case since the children will grow up with and hence become accustomed to it.

I could never circumcise a daughter. I could handle a son going through some pain but not a daughter. Im probably sexist in that regard.

Muslims have their daughters circumcised.

where the hell did you hear that from, that is a totally cultural thing (Ethiopian as far as im concerned)

 

[inasero]

Yeah asqy both sources you cited seem to have the consensus that the snip is good:

1) lower incidence of UTIs
2) increased sexual function

I originally questioned the findings of the latter paper but since the p-value supplied is less than .05, we have good reason to belive in the integrity and validity of their research

It would be interesting to see whether the same results can be obtained for men who had been circumcised at birth.

And I used to think in simple terms to regarding circumcision- that God wouldn't have given us machinery which was redundant or could cause problems...

But maybe He does...e.g. tonsils which might get infected, appendix, etc etc.

dont forget
that circumsised people are more likely to be in pornos too
SO GOOD LUCK FELLAS! PORNO FOR ALL CIRCUMSISERS!!! YIPIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

That is simply not true at all.


So the conclusion of all this is that there is very little difference between getting and not.

Personaly I am cut, and im happy about it, because im lazy and it saves me the trouble of cleaning undreneath, but if you aren't as incredibly lazy as me then fantastic.
