  • Circumcision isn’t a necessity nor does it have any health benefits, in many countries (like the UK, where I’m from) it’s not even commonly done. Even the prospect of subjecting an 11y/o boy (who is a fully aware individual capable of forming his own opinion on this) to this doesn’t sit right with me.

      • -So nobody who is circumcised can get an STI? What the fuck are you even talking about?
        -You can clean your genitalia with or without a foreskin.
        -Please link to evidence that supports that claim. How does a little piece of skin up your chances of cancer?

          • That article literally says that it used to be a reason to recommend circumcision, and that studies/experts can go either way. Did you even read it?

            • Its became very political so researchers have backed down a little.

              I spoke with a urologist. They said that 11 is a little old, but better than ever. he said that doesn't reccomend it on infants because the anestetic is bad for them. He also said a good amout of doctors do it on infants without anything to num the pain. that is a little much for me.

              To keep things in prospetive, for most of the time that circumcisions have been done, no anestetic existed. All we knew was that boys had a birth defect and that they're better off without it.

              He also said that the religions version only removes a little at the top, but the medicle one gives it the appearance of being diffrent colored on the top.
