Since you (and a number of others) brough up aethetics, would you make her shave her pussy regularly, or at least keep a Brazilian Strip, since it looks better this way?

My wife, and the women that I know that prefer their men "streamlined" also keep the pube-fro to a minimum. Not anything in the way of hypocrisy there.

What health reasons? Every doctor I've talked to about it has said that there are no health risks associated with being uncircumsized. This includes a nephrologist.

WHAT?! It's farely common knowledge in the medical community that uncircumsized men have problems with infection around their foreskin. And it has nothing to do with sexual promiscuity, it's just a difficult area to keep clean. In previous generations, uncircumcized men would willfully be circumcized for this very reason, which was very painful. That is why now baby boys are now always circumcized, so the kid won't have to go through the painful infections and subsequently painful circumcision later in life. It has nothing to do with religion.

I tell you what, you all who say it is religious BS should opt not to have your sons circumcized if you don't believe this.

edit: and since I know someone is of course going to say I don't know what I'm talking about, obligatory link to a very highly regarded medical site and one not so highly regarded medical site.

Circumcision is not only because of religious reasons..
It is mostly done to keep people from masturbating all the time.. read the link provided on the OP, and follow the links to masturbation.
It is much harder to masturbate when you are circumcised, also you have less urge to masturbate when you don't have as much sensation from your genitals..

Stop living in denial you foreskin-less people, your dick is mutilated and you are half the man as a guy with foreskin ;)

Ahem, excuse me... Being somewhat of a normal non-freaky person, this isn't something that I talk about with my friends all the time, but from what they've told me, uncircumcised male persons that I know do not seem to have any of these problems. Not to mention the vast majority of Europeans and people of other cultures that don't mutila... er, circumcise the male genitilia by default.

And, linking to various medical sites doesn't really help the argument very much, because there are other sites that could be linked to, that would inteligently present the opposing point of view - and you would just discredit them by saying your resources are superior, or some BS like that. Face it, there are a few reasons why circumcision is done, and they are as such: money (doctors need it, certainly), so they will look like dad, cleanliness (evidently the concept of a daily or even every-other-daily shower with soap is foreign to some people).

Let me guess: you are neither uncircumcized, nor a part of the medical community, correct?

Didn't read the thread but I'd just like to chime in my $0.02. No I would not do that to my daughter. I will probably get my son circumcised though (if I have one anywho). I like the way my circumcised penis looks. I don't like the way uncircumsised penis's (peni?) look. Thank you come again. :)

Removing important body parts is mutilation. Mutilation for asthetics is fine, IF YOU ARE DOING IT TO YOURSELF.

And I'm sure most circumsized guys know the effect it has on masturbation.

I'd urge American parents to give the matter a lot of thought before deciding to ensure Junior looks just like his daddy.

It s a religous tradition that was originally meant to prevent masturbation.

Yes it is mutilation, there is no need for it.

It was/is a religious tradition as it helped with cleanliness long ago when bathing was more irregular.

I am Jewish, are you sure you want to make this bet?

I don't believe in any kind of circumcision and I think it's the stupidest thing ever thought of by man.

On a little off topic note: I don't agree with piercing girl ears either. Who are you to rape a little girl. I definitely know she doesn't want it cause it hurts. But even if it didn't Who are you to decide what happens to her body, a permanent change like that. Is she not pretty enough that you had to add metal to her ears. Why don't you add some metal to her teeth too. I hate these retarded traditions.

and this isnt a valid question, men are circumcised because of health reasons and its an accepted practace in like 90% of the world
No, I have not health problems. It was some BS that someone made up and then tried to rationalize it. There is nothing wrong with my penis, it's performs stellar.

Whoever said people were smart. There are tons upon tons of idiots living in the world. I work with people, I know.

Male circumcision doesn't really have much health benefits.. It was more of an ancient thing because of once poor bathing habits, now it's just, dare I say "tradition?", in some families/religions/w.e. Not only that, but male circumcision can reduce sensitivity in that area. I'm not circumcised and I have no health problems because unlike some people, I bathe more than once a year. :\
Male circumcision kills 1/3 to 1/2 of your sensitivity - the reason for errection problems (just a wild guess).

FWIW, most women I know, that have experienced both...presentations....prefer their men's sausage unwrapped.
My girlfriend like the way a circumcisioned penis looks. But I don't care. I've also heard women prefer it wrapped, unwrapped, and it feels the same - so it would depend on the woman I guess.

The wrapper also tends to add to the thickness, which is a nice feature.

It s a religous tradition that was originally meant to prevent masturbation.
This makes the most sense. I finally know. Just goes to show you people and their retarded ways.

i said I'd circumcize a son, and I would, simply because skin looks ugly. Really though that's a blanket conclusion. I'd look more into it if it was a real concern. Removing a clit/labia is going to SERIOUSLY screw her up later; a bit of skin removed doesn't _screw up_ guys, regardless of the crap about lost sensitivity, etc.
You are nasty and disgusting. There is no need to cause extra pain to your child. I'm surprised it isn't illegal. What kind of F-ed up pride do you have?

edit: and since I know someone is of course going to say I don't know what I'm talking about, obligatory link to a very highly regarded medical site and one not so highly regarded medical site.
The risks in circumcising is too scary to think about. Partial amputation of the penis. Scary.

Let me guess: you are neither uncircumcized, nor a part of the medical community, correct?
LOL

Are you gonna take a picture and put it on a wall. Should I just kill you because you're ugly. WTH is wrong with you. "I don't like the way it looks. Oh no." I hope he sues your ass when he gets older.

What bet? A lot of the rules in Judaism were instituted for health reasons.

I don't think is right to mutilate your body or your children's body, no matter what anatomy part we are talking about :)
