Im not bothered, cut or uncut its all good

[.•´¯`•þasђγ•._.•´]

what i meant for everyone to debate was, do you think it's a barbaric practise or do you think it's necessary for health and religion.

do you think babies remember the pain or because they dont it doesnt matter if it's done or not

would you or wouldnt you have your own boys circumcised when it comes time to have a family ??

give me your views [/i][/color]

lol andrew

pashy, it is a fact of health having it cut means less likely to get infections there (except STD's, lol) but as long as u keep it clean theres no reason why u should have it cut, ive never met anyone who has felt the pain after or complained of it after, but i guess its possible, basically its all down to religion, just personal opinions it doesnt really matter either way

cut it.. although I have never seen one that was cut before for real, so I dont know how it looks.

In areas where circumcision is common, HIV infection rates tend to be low. In North America, where about 80 percent of men are circumcised, only a fraction of 1 percent of the population is HIV-positive. In western Africa, another area where circumcision is widely practiced, rates of HIV infection among those ages 15 to 49 are just 1 percent to 5 percent. But in eastern and southern Africa, where typically fewer than 20 percent of men are circumcised, rates of HIV infection range from 15 percent to 25 percent. The spread of HIV in Thailand and Cambodia also has been largely attributed to low male circumcision rates.

However, other scientists point out that at least five studies have found no protective role for circumcision and one has found that circumcision increases risk of HIV infection. There are discrepancies. Why, for example, are HIV rates lower in Europe, where men typically are uncircumcised? Why are they high in some places, like Ethiopia, where men are usually circumcised?

i had mine cut for health reasons. was too tight and i was peeing blood so at around 4yr old i got it cut.

my mum has told me when i woke i said "when are they going to do it?" so i couldn't have felt any pain

guess its easier to clean aswell

i think during the time prior to me being born it was very common for boys to be circumcised. a lot of guys my age and under seem to not be circumcised tho. which makes me think it was a fashion thing.

i aint a fan of an uncircumcised thingy lmao, looks ugly to me and i dunno for some reason it's in my head that it's dirty (non-sensical thinking i admit, i am sure most guys know how to clean their thingyes properly). tho i dunno if i could ever have my babies done just to make them like their daddy, which seems to be the biggest thing my girlfriends and male friends talk about when the subject comes up.

i've seen documentaries on tv about men who reckon they remember the pain ! i really dont think they do, i think they are more than likely cr*ckpots really.

however taking off that bit of skin..........seems a bit unneccessary. [/i][/color]

ah the pain cant be that bad, we woman survive giving birth to babies and youre lucky as mother if you dont need stitches afterwards, if you do they really dont kill you.

My own kids are not circumcized because I never really thought about it because its for as far as I know not common at all to circumcize here for normal cheesehead hollanders like me, so now the youngest is 4, if they ever want to have it done its up to them but I dont think its something you enjoy to go do lol.. just like I didnt enjoy my wisdom teeth to be removed.

I once saw this movie called "Faces of death", it was part 5 or something I think and they showed how traditional circumcision was done in African tribes, that doesnt look funny

I dont recall the pain. I think for one part it can be related to religion. Also has its health benefits, atleast that has been the common word. I personally dont see how it would be an issue if you just keep once phrase in mind
clean your pecker you dirty fecker

[Dangermouse]

lol! ;D

I dont think having it removed 'for looking like your dad' is a valid reason, and if mine was removed for that reason i would be quite pee'd off.

Without going in to too much detail, dont some men say they become less sensitive when its circumsized. (If you dont know what i mean you can figure it out )
