Infections of the kidney, bladder and urethra happen in uncircumcised baby boys at ten times the rate of circumcised boys, and over a lifetime, uncircumcised men are four times more likely to experience one, according to a new analysis of past research.
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are most common in boys’ first year of life, and circumcision was already known to make a difference in their risk, but how much and whether that carried through to adulthood was unclear, Australian researchers say.
They found that circumcision “provides considerable protection and over the lifespan makes about a three- to four-fold difference by our prediction, which is quite striking in public health terms,” lead study author Brian Morris, professor of molecular medical science at the Sydney Medical School, University of Sydney, told Reuters Health. …

Even when the Creator instructs something in particular?
Walk? Hell, I couldn't even talk........worst experience of my life!
Hear, hear! I do agree.

My doctor doesn’t even charge for circumcisions. He just takes tips.
A few years ago I talked an Indian (from India) guy into getting the cut. He said he wanted to meet older women so I said he would need to be circumcised since American women prefer men that way. My Indian friend was reluctant so I told him not to think of it as circumcision but as “body sculpting.” That convinced him. He even called his mother long distance in India to joyously announce the news to her.
The wife of a former business partner was dissatisfied with their newborn son’s circumcision because she thought they didn’t take enough off, like it was a trip to the hair stylist or something. She had them do it *again.* I tried to advise her against it, the pain, the trauma, the potential complications. My former business partner just shrugged, looked away and went tonmake himself another drink. Been there already, I guess. She became combative and told me I didn’t know what I was talking about, that mothers just know these things, that it didn’t hurt.
It was one of the more amazingly idiotic conversations in which I’ve ever participated. Poor kid. He’s going to have painful sexual relations when that day arrives. At the risk of being too descriptive, that skin needs to be able to move, to have some elasticity. He’s going to bleed.
How stupid is that?
moses wasn’t right, circumcision was NO man’s idea. GOD was right.
I tried finding the old Franken & Davis where one of them (supposedly) has an inoperable brain tumor and came out for one last show and kept repeating the punchline "...he only took TIPS!"
(Franken is (alas!) from Minnesota; he his a good deal more lefty than Klobuchar, who has name recognition from her father, a long-time Star Tribune columnist...while in high school she did a 1500-mile bike ride over a few weeks or a month with her dad; I bet doing that helped her into Yale. Still don't know how Franken got into Harvard: and he became a poli-sci major at that.)
Cheers!

The doctor didn’t refuse. This occurred twelve years ago.
The only time in my life I wish I had been circumsized was the time when I was 15 and tried on a pair of slacks ( at home ) with no underwear on . Zipppppppp ....Ouch !
LMAO ...45 years later .
That is the funniest post I’ve read in many a week.
Doctors want to keep cutting because it makes more money for them.
This is a load of crap. I am not circumcised and neither are the other males of my family. None of us have ever had any complaints from women, certainly none of them wanted us to rush out and get circumcised and, in my case at least, I was asked back for repeat performances. Keep it clean, it won't get infected.
