Why do men get circumsized in the U.S?

[Mr. dB]

I would do it to my son because now it is know to help prevent AIDS infection, so I would do it.....

"Going through previous analyses, researchers found that circumcision reduced the risk of HIV infection in men by 50% and by 70% in the highest-risk men. A new study included over 300 couples from Uganda where transmission came from men and showed that 299 women caught HIV from uncircumcised partners and only 44 from circumcised."

These studies fail to consider demographics. In Uganda, circumcised men are Muslims, who are likely to have had fewer partners.

Rather than cutting off parts of his body, wouldn't it be better to make sure your son is instructed in safe sex methods?

Certainly the vast majority of male AIDS deaths in the USA were circumcised men, it didn't help them one bit.

I wish I had a quilt of the leftovers.


I agree with donut lady. I doubt anyone has said "I wish I had it back." I can see circumsized men hav9ing wished to have been cut when newborn, for whatever reason they may have. If one were keeping score, the cuts would win with that one.

Yes, I am.

Dude, just moving around my balls once in a while is a chore. Imagine having to move the extra skin all the time? Pfft.

Yes I called you a dude!

Another win for the cuts!

Why dont we just argue one religion vs another? People on both sides obviously feel very passionately about it, and nothing that either side says is going to change the minds of the other side. I'm going to sit back and wait for some serious flaming to erupt. This thread has no worth other than for some potential entertainment.

I think we should have separate boards. One for circumsized men, and one for the dirty men.



HAAAA! omg Just kidding you idiots.

Ehhh, it's no big deal. I had my son cut just because i was and didn't have any issues with it. Not knowing if there was going to be any issues with being uncut, I did not go that route. ZERO issues, ever. ZERO.


ZEEE- ROW!

So the potential of having issues of being uncut, made me decide to cut the poor bastard. One day he will either thank me or kill me.


or Just never mention it.

You could say that about C&C as a whole.

You mean one for amputees, and one for real men...

It doesn't matter to me

What about people who have their tonsils removed? Are they amputees too?
