Nevlach Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 For shame Nevsie, for shame. You know I at least would have. Makes it easier for me to counter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkeeterHansen Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Not everyone uses one all the time. They are not 100% effective when used. They can break. Condoms are the best bet when used properly, yes. Well actually the best way to protect against STDs is abstinence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpshooter Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Hey the literature appears to tilt that way, just my observation after 20 minutes on PubMed. Obviously the harms could be greater...but at this point in time it doesn't look that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevlach Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Based on 20 minutes on PubMed?? I are disappoint. Why do you think most western industrialized countries pediatric organizations are moving toward recommending that circumcision not be a routine procedure then?

Buddhas Hand Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 True, but it's the 2010's. Abstinence is, unfortunately in the case of our adolescent generation, a thing of the past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nevlach Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 I don't usually like to post from google, but since most of you probably don't have access to some of the medical literature here is a recent post from August 2012: More pediatricians endorse circumcision http://www.news-leader.com/viewart/20120827/LIFE04/308270046/More-pediatricians-endorse-circumcision Based on the recommendations from The American Academy of Pediatrics.

Lancaster Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 As a person who has gone through the process as an adult, while in a relationship, I can say for myself that circumcision is a good thing. Feels better, easier to keep clean and potential medical benefits (assuming they are what they say they are). As for this topic, I don't view it as as religious issue but more of an issue of government intruding on parental rights. While some folks view male circumcision on par with female circumcision, it's vastly different. Males at least have some medical benefits, I have yet to find anything on female ones. In fact, female circumcision is actually dangerous and detrimental to their health and enjoyment of life. Some knowledgeable folks says it equates to losing their "manhood" or losing all feeling down there or whatever, but usually they don't know what they're talking about.
