I'm not going to go dredge up cites now (this is all from a long thread last Summer) but there was a meta analysis showing HIV to postitivalyt correlated with African circumcision...anyway the situation in Africa...and "AIDS" in Africa has nothing to do with HIV infection in the US and Europe. Circumcision in the US has been positively associated with homosexuality and (ironically because it was promoted originally as preventing) masturbation. Among homosexuals in the US and Briton, circumcision is positively correlated with HIV infection. Reports of men who have had it done indicate a loss of sexual sensation and satisfaction.

While not common, infections and even major loss of penis tissue occurs, which has resulted in attempted male to female sex surgery.

Any kid who has the end of his penis whacked off should get to sue the doctor and any medical facility; and the maker of any device used, or A LOT of money.

"(ironically because it was promoted originally as preventing) masturbation."

I always avoided masturbation because I was afraid of hairy palms.

What planet do you come from? Sorry, buddy, but you've lost all respect in my book.
