do you think circumcision should be the persons choice?

The funniest thing about this whole thread is the number of guys saying certain penises are disgusting. I'm curious, how many have you guys been judging and what other traits do you find enjoyable in a man's penisSolidSnake35

Absolutely. The only reason it's still done is because people view it as aesthetically superior, which is just a result of centuries of mutilation with the initial intent of preventing masturbation And with it being the very center of maleness, fathers continue to cut their sons because they don't want that manhood challenged.DJ_Lae

Joke??

No, it is not mutilation, and since not a singly circumcised person feels mutilated or would rather have not been circumcised, this whole topic is made invalid. And it makes masturbation easier. :roll:

There is absolutely no reason to have the procedure done unless one is a soldier on a long term of service without access to proper hygiene (clean water is all that is necessary) or someone who has a constriction problem. There are several reasons why nature hasn't evolved the foreskin out of the gene pool. One very important one being the fact it contains thousands of nerve endings that are extremely pleasurable for the man.foxhound_fox

I had it done when I was like 10 for medical reasons and it was one of the most painful things ever when they were taking off the dressing, they put me in a bath to remove it and I passed out. Not to mention after you get it done your penis inflates to the size of a freakin bowling ball.V4LENT1NE

Very few have uncircumcised penises, but some do. Anyways my point was that you seem tosuggest that everyone's gay for having an opinion on circumcision and then you go on to admit that you've seen penises too.

This. Plus circumsicision helps reduce the chances of getting certain STDs. Not to mention that you can do your business anywhere without lotion.

That's true.

me personally, I think it's sexual mutilation, but I'm not going to making a spectacle out of my beliefs for this, if I have kids I'll just not have them circumcised and if they want to be circumcised later in life that's there decisionlamprey263

Yeah, and while we're at it, let's ask babies if they want to get aborted as well.

In my opinion, parents should only be allowed to have their children circumcised for religious or medical reasons. I bet the majority of Americans (excluding Jews and some Muslims) who get their children circumcised do it for aesthetic reasons, not for concerns over their health (which have very little basis in fact; the only situation where circumcision would be advantageous to one's health is if they lived in unsanitary conditions, which is why they are trying to spread the occurrence of the procedure in third-world countries. If you live in the US and you shower on a monthly basis, there is little to no health risk associated with not being circumcised). I don't understand why parents are allowed to decide to cut of part of their child's penis because they think it looks stupid. IIRC, the US is the only predominately Christian developed nation that has a majority of the newborn population being circumcised (even though that number is dropping rapidly and soon circumcised babies will become the minority).

If there is no medical or religious reason for circumcision, it shouldn't be performerd. Doctor's should be aware of this. If a person really, really wants it, they can go through the procedure when they are older.

EDIT: For what Wikipedia is worth (it cites actual research), I was correct in my assumption. The US is by far the country with the highest rate with about 55%. Canada is next with about 30%. Then Australia with 20%. And it drops fast from there.

Yeah, and while we're at it, let's ask babies if they want to get aborted as well.

How do you know that? It isn't something most people would bring up in public.

circumcision prevents the transmission of some stds. So you could say someone thats not circumcised is willfully putting all their sexual partners in life and themselves at greater risk of disease. Its cleaner and less disease prone, i see nothing wrong with circumcising babies. We dont wait till someone is 18 so they can choose if they want vaccinations or not... the health benefits win out, If we cant circumcise children, you must be against child vaccinations as well.TonyDanzig

Hmm... a little extreme for a negligible benefit which some still dispute?

And if protection against STD's is the argument for circumcision, it's hardly going to impact an infant now is it (unless of course they're out on the tiles at an early age).

Besides I like my little cozy - keeps the fella warm in winter.

It actually does.

Condoms are still the best line of defense, but to say that it doesn't reduce tranmission rates or risk of infections AT ALL is just wrong. Besides HIV, it also cuts down the tranmission rates of other viral STDs like HPV and Herpes.

HIV maybe, but other STD's the benefits are minimal/negligible, hence the reason that it isn't deemed a neccesary procedure.

[QUOTE="HoolaHoopMan"]

[QUOTE="slipknot0129"]Circumscision does not recude the risk of spreading stds. Wearing a condom or abstaining from sex reduces the risk of stds.
