@kingkyri Exactly. The obsession with routine infant circumcision in the West is uniquely American.

Yes. Women overwhelmingly prefer it. You need to know your audience.

I think that many people dont want to be circumcised when they become adults they wish they never were as a child, if there was more reacerch proving that its better then being uncircumsized then i would support it but I dont think it is that good.

Footballstar · 26-30, M

@Footballstar oh ok yea i am against circumcision.

Barbaric practice.
For religious/cultural or aesthetic reason.

Only if there is a medical reason for doing so

@HootyTheNightOwl oh I see. I didnt think it was that hard to clean but i guess if its tight and its hard to move around it makes sense.

@HootyTheNightOwl Nonsense. Total nonsense.

@Iamalostsoul Okay, Dr Soul, read this, then come back and tell me which part of it the [b]qualified medical professionals[/b] have wrong... I'm keen to hear it:-

Not unless there is an underlying medical reason no

MsLibrarian · 31-35, F

No, not unless it’s absolutely medically necessary.

No. I did not have my son circumcised.

Dusty101 · F

I did when I got back from the states.
Not a thing they do in Ireland. I was a little phased with the bit of extra skin.
But now I don't think about it at all.

No, certainly not, unless they later have a very tight foreskin, but all parents have a responsibility to pull their boys foreskin gently back, from the age of around three,and keep doing it every time their boy has a bath. Then their boy should have a nice foreskin that goes back easily to clean under the head of their penis. My sons were treated that way and are now fine adults with foreskins that retract naturally. I think that unnecessary circumcision is butchery.

No one will touch it unless he's in porn

Salix75 · 46-50, F

no. not unless medically necessary

Male Genital Mutilation.#MGM

Footballstar · 26-30, M

Not at all, its barbaric

Iamalostsoul · 41-45, M

No. There are no valid health reasons. Any concerns are minor and can be avoided completely or dealt with easily.

It is genital mutilation and should be stopped.

BlueRain · F

Yes at birth. It’s a no brainer.

@BlueRain people are able to wash these days

BlueRain · F

@Jm31xxx good for them. It still doesn’t change my mind.

HootyTheNightOwl

@BlueRain Kind of missing the point, though... as long as the guy bathes down there regularly, then there should be minimal risk of infection.

If you want to employ your views... then it's reasonable that females should also be circumcised to prevent the same infection that you say males can carry and transmit.
