>The anti-male feminists of the United Nations unsurprisingly push circumcision as a panacea.<
Well, I guess my husband is an anti-male feminist, then. Before our daughter was born, we almost came to blows more than once over the fact that I did NOT want any baby of mine to endure such a "procedure", especially with no anesthesia.
He was h-- bent that any son of HIS would get the knife.
So when a male baby is aborted, should an effort be made to save the foreskin?
More around 40-60%, maybe less.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I personally never said anything about what percentage has it done, I don't consider the right or wrong of it to be something that can be decided by concensus. If I were the only person left on the planet speaking against circumcision I would still say that it is indeed a barbaric practice based in WILLFUL ignorance and makes as much sense as draining blood to cure illness, not so long ago the concensus would have supported that.
I'm circumsized, as was my father, and as is my son. I was a little conflicted as to whether to go along with plans to circumsize my son... finally went along with the "look like Dad" argument.
Since then, I have met only one man who was circumsized as an adult. He says that sex is definitely NOT as good as it was before. A surprising loss of sensation.
I don't dwell on this, by any means... what's done is done... but I've heard the loss of sensation story a couple of times, including this thread, so I wonder if I've robbed my son of some of the sexual pleasure he would experience as an adult.
At any rate, I wish I had done some research before I just nodded my head and said "OK."
PS. I also wish our Biblical scholars who quote Old Testament scriptures would also look into the New Testament, where Paul makes it clear that "...circumsized and un-circumsized, we are all one in Christ Jesus..."
My knowledge and personal experience convinces me that male circumscision is on the whole beneficial to health. Among other things, it has recently been learned that it cuts HIV infection rates substantially.
I have also learned that those opposed to male circumcision are on the whole impervious to facts conflicting with their strongly held opinion.
Question: Do you wear glasses? :P
No wonder they're always in a bad mood!

I don't know just what you are aiming at with that but the answer is that an effort should be made to stop the abortion. Any more off the wall, space cadet questions?
Both Muslims and Jews circumcise, so there goes your argument.

This is why those circumcised as an infant sound so ridiculous to me when they comment on the supposed uselessness of the foreskin, they have no basis of comparison. It is the same as someone born blind commenting on color matching.
On the other hand, those of us who are uncircumcised know very well that anyone who can stand walking around with the exposed tip rubbing against clothing absolutely must have lost a great deal of sensitivity.
LOL!!!
No arguement, just a question. I did not know.
Thanks for info.

The baby never remembers it.
ROTGLMAO!!
(rim shot)
Muslims do NOT circumcise, neither do Arabs.
To: edcoil
Does anyone know if Muslims circumcise? I am begining to think this is a Christian vs Muslim issue.

Yes, they do, typically in late childhood.
