Foreskin: The Exhaustive Roundtable

[Kuya]

Ah, so yea then. This subforum is now the trash forum.

[Tyche]

Way to miss the point?

A cut penis does nothing significant for you compared to an uncut penis which men used throughout history for reproductive purposes. The idea that circumcision does something for men largely rests on religious superstition and junk science.

If something was significantly wrong with the uncut penis, we wouldn't be here today having this oh so wonderful debate on genital mutilation.

Your argument is very weak, AIDS and a lot of STDs are also new. Last I checked, thw WHO and American medical journals don't publish "junk science".

Clearly circimcision is at fault these new STD's then. If they were left to fester in the foreskin instead of in the human body they may not have materialized to the threats they are today.

Maybe if men could get off easier (by being uncut), they wouldn't have resorted to fucking sheep, resulting in STDs.

[Kuya]

What this thread should really be about is why girls think leroy's dick is ugly

[Chun Liroy]

obv. because it's cut.

Condoms do more than being cut to lower your chances of becoming HIV positive, penile cancer is extremely rare in men to begin with and general education (hygiene) does far more than a circumcision with regards to STD transmission.

All correct, but what you said is still bullshit.

[Kuya]

Hey tyche, did you circumcise your kid because of the medical benefits or did you circumcise him for different reasons, but the medical argument is just sort of an addendum to your decision?

[Charismatic]

DJ does it bug you that white people speak Ebonics to you when they ordinarily wouldn't?

Would bug the hell outtova nigga like me.

I hope you don't think I'm white.
Kuroi right in the name, busta.

It's bullshit that the gains are marginal? Education and proper hygiene go much farther than snipping the penis.

[Tyche]

The "it's been Ok for thousands of years" holds as much water as a colander. STDs are new. Diseases evolve. The whole junk science snipe was absolutely disingenuous. No one said education and condoms weren't more effective. Doesn't discount that HIV risk is lessened by 60% and lessens the risk of cervical cancer in women.

To answer Kuya, I've had to study this stuff for school. I felt the the potential benefits outweighed the risks.

That didn't answer my question. I said, did you want to circumcise him primarily for the medical benefits or did you do it for a different reason(like for religious reasons or something), and the medical benefits argument is just a bonus?

[kuronosan]

Tyche isn't wrong, btw.

I'm not religious. With that said, my wife may have wanted to do it for other reasons and I probably would have caved. We never had to have that conversation however.

HPV is an STD. My daughters will get the gardasil shot and I hope any of you with daughters get it for them. I don't understand the whole "well, you should use a condom" argument. Of course you should, but you can't watch your kids 24/7. I get that a vaccine and a circumcision are different, but the reasons for doing so are the same.

[kuronosan]

Except the part about stds, really. Bacterial STDs have been around for ages. It's the oncogenic ones that have been focused on recently because of stupid people fucking animals and picking up viruses.

Fair enough, microbiology was about the deepest of my infectious disease studies. I think if anesthesia falls through, I want to do Rutgers infectious disease program.

Rutgers.

HEUHUEHUEHUEH

[Tyche]

I could move to Camden to go to Rutgers. How awesome would that be?
