re: Anti-circumcision: agree or disagree?

Again, those do not alter his body against his will. Not even comparable.

Because major health corporations are realizing it's not crucial like they once thought. People are misinformed about circumcision because they were taught dated information.

It's not done here and I've never met any man who has ever needed one.... and I was a little slut for a few years!

It's odd how the US is so pro-circumcision... because it'll prevent STD's, UTI's, etc. but we're the only country to circumcision our boys for non-religious reasons, and the only country to have problems with intact children. Weird, eh?

Until circumcision is overwhelmingly championed or rejected, this is a fruitless debate.

Seriously! Maybe American boys and men just don't know how to take care of their penises or something... I just don't understand why there are so many with issues!!

Lol I know its pretty much unheard of over here unless for medical reasons, which is very rare in itself.

If I were a single mom to a boy I know I'd be lost... I don't know anything about penises! lmao


ETA: I know some things about penises, obviously, I'm pregnant! but... you know what I mean!

Haha I know what you mean. All I know is it's meant to be there for a reason so I ain't gonna cut it off......

And dangerous. Sometimes children have to be protected from their own parents.

Sometimes they do, sure. This isn't a good example of that, though.

WOW! Protected from their own parents?? I will let that ignorant statement just slide off my shoulder
