Quote of the month - October 8, 2005

Ouch. That hurts.

What's the point of circumcision? Apart from religious tradition. (I'm not American)

Bunny Edit: Health. An uncircumsized penis carries twice the amount of bacteria.

And uncircumsized ones are NASTY. I've never personally seen one, but if I did, there's no way I'd put that shit in my mouth.

Girth.

Worst. Sex. Ever.

If I want a dick in a paper bag, I'll go to Adult World and buy myself a dildo and have them throw it in a brown wrapper.

Id be ok with being circumsized if the amount of mistakes the surgeons make wasnt so high. There was a study a few years ago that said that 30% of circumcisions have complications. I dont know if australian surgeons drink more then your yanky ones, but thats just too scary. I'd rather have my steak in a sleeping bag then in a petri dish.

Uncircumsized penises are nice, if you take a shower with them and give them head you can get your tongue up there and drive them insane for a while.

I prefer a penis I don't have to wash/disinfect first..call me crazy.

I doubt that 30% of the surgeries have complications..maybe if you don't obey the follow-up instructions or ask your local butcher to do the job.

I've done a lot of research on this subject. It's actually only a myth that uncircumsized penises carry more bacteria or are unhealthy in any way. It's been proven that as long as a man pulls back the foreskin in the shower and rinses his penis, he has the same chances of getting urinary tract infections and other health problems as a circumsized man. The study that supposedly proved otherwise involved babies under the age of one, and the mothers of the babies were told to pull back the foreskin and wash under them. Because nature does not intend for the foreskin to retract before one year of age, the babies got infections. Also, removing the foreskin desensitizes the penis, so men with foreskin will have better sex. Besides, I've found that sex is a million times better with an uncircumsized man because everything stay lubricated better. I've come to believe that the only reason this type of gential mutilation continues in the United States is because doctors make 300-500 dollars off of each surgery. They've almost completely stopped doing it in the UK because they recognize that it's unnecessary for health. Basically, I sure as hell won't be circumsizing my boys.

2 Some older men develop cancer of the penis - about 1 in 1000 - fairly rare, but tragic if you or your son are in that small statistic. Infant circumcision gives almost 100% protection, and young adult circumcision also gives a large degree of protection.

3 Cancer of the cervix in women is due to the Human Papilloma Virus. It thrives under and on the foreskin from where it can be transmitted during intercourse. An article in the British Medical Journal in April 2002 suggested that at least 20% of cancer of the cervix would be avoided if all men were circumcised. Surely that alone makes it worth doing?

4 Protection against HIV and AIDS. Another British Medical Journal article in May 2000 suggested that circumcised men are 8 times less likely to contract the HIV virus. (It is very important here to say that the risk is still far too high and that condoms and safe sex must be used - this applies also to preventing cancer of the cervix in women who have several partners.)

A BBC television programme in November 2000 showed two Ugandan tribes across the valley from one another. One practised circumcision and had very little AIDS, whereas, it was common in the other tribe, who then also started circumcising. This programme showed how the infection thrived in the lining of the foreskin, making it much easier to pass on.
Balanitis is an unpleasant, often recurring, inflammation of the glans. It is quite common and can be prevented by circumcision.

Urinary tract infections sometimes occur in babies and can be quite serious. Circumcision in infancy makes it 10 times less likely.

Jesser: What you're saying is completely ridiculus. There's no way to "harbor" or "remove" a virus, especially one like HIV, from a specific body part; If you have the virus, you have the virus. The only health concerns should have to do with bacterial infections, and (ideally) only if they're dity boys who don't clean under their foreskins.

But, honestly, I don't think I'd know what to do with a penis in a bag... Aside from the criminally obvious.

To the woman who said "as long as a man pulls back the foreskin in the shower and rinses his penis"... you do realise you are talking about MEN here, right? The lazier half of the species? Half the guys i know shower 3 times a week.... gross. Speaking as a circumcized male, I would not have it any other way... And I am pretty certain my wife agrees...

lichica, you are indeed an ignorant twat. You don't need to "wash/disinfect [an uncut cock] first if the man isn't a dirty trash-eating hobo. Stop slamming sludge donkees and you'll discover that circumcized penises are just as clean as their hoodless brothers.

Moron.
