Not every religious act should be protected. Second, it is harmful, as it causes nerve damage over time.

Of course not, but they're not sacrificing goats or virgins.
 
Based on a couple replies I can only assume my link was missed by a few. Seems to me a very important study.

Circumcision ring cuts AIDS risk in Africa

The most powerful force against AIDS in Africa may be circumcision, a procedure that's easily done in the developed world. But it's a challenge on a continent where there are too few medical workers and a reluctance by men for cultural reasons and fear of pain.

Completely dismisses the belief that there are no sanitary applications for circumcision. BTW, masturbation still works with circumcision also.

No it doesn't. My sex life with my wife happens to be quite healthy.

You probably just aren't aware of it. Rubbing will cause sensation at the head of the penis to decrease as time goes on.

Valid point but a solution that will never be practiced could perhaps be dismissed?

I never understood why female circumcision is not okay but male is. I'm against both and I consider both to be genital mutilation.

really?????
 
I just find it funny that in San Fran it is more acceptable to suck a dick than to circumcise one ;)

That's another myth.

I've got 40 years of "hands on" experience that says otherwise :lamo

Understanding how the penis functions is more important than what you remember.
 
SPC said:
it has also been discovered that women with husbands who are not circumcised have a greater chance of getting vaginal and kidney infections, particularly by the males who don't clean underneath the foreskin.

Discovered by who? Do you have a source which cites the study?
 
SPC said:
OK, let me see how much controversy I can cause. With a measure on the ballot in San Francisco to ban male circumcision, let see what everybody's opinion is.

It is no one's buisness whether a couple gives their child a circumcision or not. People need to start minding thier own damn buisness.

No seriously I thought you would explain since apparently you are an expert of dicks, and instead of flopping your supreme knowledge of cocks in everyones face, maybe you could just tell us why you got both hands gripping tight on this issue?

my bad, I guess I have no comprehension of the sensations of my own body. :roll:

and obviously rubbing it will also cause it to get smaller due to frictive erosion as well.

These "studies" have been highly criticized and discredited because of their methodological problems. For example, they did not complete their study. They just stopped as soon as they got the data they were looking for.

And even if it was true its still insignificant protection. Condoms and other prophylactics provide real, measurable, protection whereas circumcision does not.

Yes, that source comes from my mother who is a nurse.

And where did you mother learn it from? Did she perform the study or did she hear it from someone else? Where does the trail lead? To an actual study or to fraud/lie/imagination?
