I am a firm believer in God's creation. Ergo, I shall not multiate my body or that of any of my sons.
so others should be subject to your personal beliefs ? easier for all combined ? can you describe in detail the health benefits ?
did i say that? I said WE always did it. I don't give a jot about what you do. Waiting till the eighth day has been shown to have certain health 'benefits' for the baby which i won't go into at this time other than healing and clotting factors are maxed. The physicians would find it a faster and easier and less complication potential if they'd do it when factors are optimum. No i won't go into the health benefits other than to say that little boys are easier to keep clean in that area. It is not pleasant or easy for little boys to have that foreskin pulled back and then cleaned by mom or dad. And then they've got that task for themselves at some point throughout their adult lives. Secondly, how many women do you know that have no problem with uncircumcized male lovers. How many of you guys are uncircumcized and you're lovin' it?
And is that because you are a woman so you don't have any and so you are envious of those who have big ones? I bet you are an extreme liberal left winger ultra Jewish trader who demands everything 20 % off.
Anders Hoveland,... Most of us agree that circumcision, male or female, is absolutly horrible. Did you know that in the USA, the cut off foreskins of the babies are "recycled" and re-worked in cosmetic creams for women? It's horrendous!
... IgnoranceIsBliss,... You are not making any sense. Male genital mutilation was originally implemented in the USA because of what you describe as sinister reasons in the first place.
Nonsense. The studies that "prove" that circumcision somehow prevents HIV/AIDS aren't scientifically sound in the slightest.
Absolutly clueless post, Slyhunter. The foreskin gets more flexible over time, and only comes "loose" as natures has intended to be so, when it is ready to be put to use. During childhood, the foresking doesn't really retract. When you're about 12 y.o. your dad will start mentioning to "not forget to keep it clean over there son" -- which is about the age the foreskin comes "loose" and can be retracted slowly at first, and gradually more easily until it becomes the most natural thing. My guess is that 12 y.o. boys don't let their mothers or fathers wash their penises...
Misled. The irony! What do you know about keeping normal male babies clean "down under" whilst yourself, nor any of your children or grandchildren, has got the benefit of having a foreskin? You simply are not making any sense, which isn't that surprising since you have no idea what you are talking about... BTW... LMAO! Yeah, it's a real task. It takes like half a second.
No, it doesn't. I've seen several of these done now and I can assure you that it is about as bad as a razor cut when performed on an infant. This is nothing but an assault on Jews and Circumcision practicing Christians. Most women find circumcision preferable in a mate, it is an important part of our culture. Get over it.
It seems to me a bit of a cleanist fantasy. Leave it alone and it will get on as have all the others throughout history. And I did read what you said - just though it was obsession rather than argument. Cultures are different, and there's no way around that.
Really? You want to go there, clinical trials would tend to disagree with you... http://ajcp.ascpjournals.org/content/125/3/386.full.pdf http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/resources/factsheets/circumcision.htm http://www.aidsmap.com/Larger-foreskin-size-increases-HIV-infection-risk/page/1436434/ ...but to name a few. A few of these sources even go over the risk associated with circumcision to show both sides of the coin, but I'm guessing a study is only scientifically sound if you agree with it.
Can you grasp the concept of apples and oranges? Male circumsision and female circumcision are not remotely the same. But, you evaded the question.
So, talk to your parents. There is no mandatory circumcision. But, you apparent want mandatory--god, liberals love mandatory--prvention of circumcision. So, is your decision based in part on your hatred of Jews?
Please explain then. Also, explain the numerous studies that have found medical benefits to circumcision...such as lower rates of STDs and cancer. I'm not necessarily advocating for it, but its definitely not some "horrible" operation without merit.
show that you are not blissful in your ignorance and discuss each of those studies, including design, data collection, calculations, assumptions, variables, etc.
pretty neat, you have given a source that states the foreskin contains immune cells associated with protection from the disease.
Let's see... genital mutilation done as part of a religion vs. genital mutilation done as part of a religion. Yup, apples and oranges.
they're fine don't worry. Leave it to a lefty to reference slavery in a totally unrelated topic. Actually, i think women prefer circumcized males. There is always the possibilty that your uncircumcized one night stand sexual partner is a little lax on personal hygience. If i'm not mistaken, i remember some stats on health and disease related infections and conditions that are detrimental to the overall health of the uncircumcized guy. and really. Aren't you guys just more ticked that it was a religious practice of the jews? even it it was a matter of cleanliness and health.
Jazzerman already provided plenty of solid sources. Heck, just goggle circumcision and you'll get plenty of legitimate sources. Why on earth would I take the time to transcribe the methodology of every study to you when the actual papers themselves provide this information to you?
I think its a cultural thing. American women for obvious reasons tend to prefer it while European women are likely more comfortable with intact foreskins.
