I couldn't have known either way, but...
My husband (his father) was Jewish.
I find it much more aesthetically pleasing. Otherwise, it looks like creature from the ocean's depths, like a sea lamprey or something.

Fair enough... Would you be okay if your father cut anything off of your vagina when you were a baby because of religion and because he thought your vaginawould look more aesthetically pleasing to him? Would you feel the same way if something similarwere being done to female babies or is there a double standard? You do not believe that a human being should have a say so when it comes to permanently removing a perfectly fictional part of their anatomy?

Male circumcision and HIV prevention

Quote:
While a number of studies suggest an association between the foreskin and HIV infection, a simple tallying of studies, such as performed by Szabo and Short,1 is unscientific and misleading. Meta-analysis suggests that men engaging in high risk behaviours may be placed at further risk by having a foreskin, but in the general population circumcision status is not a significant factor. It also showed an important degree of heterogeneity between studies, calling into question the validity of the summary results.2 The multiple confounding factors influencing sexual behaviour and HIV susceptibility make it irresponsible to place blame on normal anatomy.
The link you provided bases it's information of an unscientific study done by Szabo and Short. Most of then studies are done on a small number of African men in a short amount of time. If you researched it more thoroughly, you'd find that it's a medical conscience that it's a procedure that's unnecessary to perform on healthy babies.

You're very welcome, my child.
Wow, I would think a left-winger like you would be very against cutting a boy's penis when there is no evidence that it is necessary in the secular sense.

Thankfully, the vast majority of people in the developed world and world don't share your view. I really don't care what your opinion of a natural penis is. People who don't have any substantive evidence for their illogical decisions resort to writing stuff like you did.

Go to it babe. It's your money, not mine. Just thought I'd warn ya.

...and I don't care what your opinion of me is. See how that works?
So you don't like what I did? No (fore)skin off my nose.

Male circumcision is suppose to cut down on cancer. I don't think it takes away that much pleasure of sex for a man, not if my husband is any one to say it does. Most men don't know the difference.

Female circumcision is to take away the pleasure of sex for the woman, remember women and men are made differently.

Ask a doctor, would he have his son get one or not? Would it insure his health in the future.
