Circumcision? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />

I thought it was about books and movies!

Actually, I've never seen one (in person) uncircumcised.

-s*<hr /></blockquote>Well, that's not entirely true. From what I understand, a circumcised penis is lower maintenance. I could understand calling female circumcision mutilation, it would be like cutting off the tip of the penis (the most sensitive part of the male body, sexually speaking), but from what I understand of circumcision (since I have one) is that it just nips off a little foreskin. I've also learned, from my sisters taking care of their nephews, that the skin can grow back if the baby isn't cared for properly.

Yeah, circumcised penises are lower-maintenance. But most people I know shower at least a couple of times a week, so that argument has become rather week over the last fifty years.

Uncut RULES! Much more sensitive as the head doesn't become all desensitized from rubbing against everything all day.

No one in the modern western world has problems with infections as long as you bath once a week. If you don't, you got other problems.

Maybe a little densensitizing is a good thing?

Ha, 84 votes but only 24 replies. Sensitive topic perhaps? +1 for cut.

Spheric Harlot, the stuff in your sig wasn't said by a MacNN reader. It was in an article on a paranoid Christian website.

On topic: Apparently the biggest argument my parents ever had was over whether or not to circumcise me. My (Jewish) father won. Guess what that means?

Hmmm, Untill I went to that link above I never really knew what a Circumcision did, eh... I pretty shure Im not, but it made me wonder if I was... <img border="0" alt="[Skeptical]" title="" src="graemlins/bugeye.gif" />

Unfortunately, the site has disappeared, and there is no mirror to be found.
