Per merit of argument in reality - moronic idea and an insult to the concerned religious communities. THEN AGAIN - in the spirit of "every state may have its own law regardless of how retarded it is" (specifically the death penalty) i suppose this isn't any worse! | ||

Or only if they need to - because there'll obviously be provisions for those with medical reasons. No no, just would prefer it stay the way it is now. I just happened to be screwed over by having deficient parents and (even moreso) deficient genetics.

Except for the fact that if the law were to pass, the whole generation of girls growing up with these boys would find circumcised penises to be the odd ones... so.. not sure I guess. Well for me it's not the way that it looks as much as the fact that I can't really engage in normal sex. : / | ||

Trust me, I've tried every trick in the book since I became... let's say sexually aware. When I was really young I knew it looked different but I was pretty oblivious to the problems that it would pose later in life and my parents, again, weren't really on the ball. Maybe early in life that would have been doable but now it's not. I managed to go see a urologist last year and he said the only option was circumcision. Which I definitely can't afford, at least not now. | ||

But health system's are probably a topic best not touched..  | ||

This studie has been considered false by many other studies, because the authors are biased. For example What does that prove? The part you underlined says right after "this factor could result in an underestimation of the efficacy of male circumcision" which means it hurts the pro-circumcision side. The part you bolded doesn't show bias by the authors. That was written by the authors so if they were bias they would have just omitted it from their report instead of being honest about it. Also nice editing there, here's the full paragraph with the part you left out in bold With respect to the use of circumcision to prevent HPV infection, our study was limited, since it was confined to a subgroup of subjects who were observed both at enrollment and at 24 months. In both the intervention and control groups, these subjects may represent a self-selected population of compliant subjects who could be at lower risk for HPV infection than the general population; this factor could result in an underestimation of the efficacy of male circumcision. Also, since samples were evaluated only at 24 months, we were limited in our ability to determine whether the reduced HPV prevalence after circumcision was due to a reduced rate of HPV acquisition, an increased rate of HPV clearance, or both. Nevertheless, these findings, in conjunction with data from observational studies20,21 and one trial in South Africa,31 demonstrate the efficacy of circumcision in decreasing the prevalence of HPV in adolescent boys and men. This isn't the only study btw, there are lots similar to it. Here's a quote from wiki The World Health Organization, the Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that evidence indicates male circumcision significantly reduces the risk of HIV acquisition by men during penile-vaginal sex. | ||

That said, it's a procedure whose health benefits only slightly outweigh its chances of complications so I wouldn't do it to my kid. | ||

And I have to say I don't think it can be all that or America wouldn't have 2-6 times the HIV rates compared to European countries / Australia / New Zealand where circumcision is less common. I realise there's obviously more factors at play.. just saying there's no correlation showing up in any statistics I can find. | ||

I fucking associate circumcision with the dick of an internet dude I never met. There's so many levels of wrong with that. | ||

i would really want someone to explain me, practically, why "... state that evidence indicates male circumcision significantly reduces the risk of HIV acquisition by men during penile-vaginal sex" is true?. or, better put it: the mechanics of it cuz as far as o know you can contact hiv trough an open wound or getting in contact with sexual fluids. ex: anal sex tends to favor the spreading of HIV but ONLY because anal tears and hemorrhoidic bleeds occur, thus one gets exposed to infected blood more often. | ||

Here's a quote from wiki I don't understand what you are attempting to achieve with these posts. Circumcision reduces the risks of unprotected sex with HIV-positive people so children should all be circumcised? Are we expecting minors in California to be having rampant unprotected sex with infected African villagers here? Or maybe you're saying circumcision is the only way to reduce the risks of already risky sex with people who are diseased. No wait, that's not true either. Please clarify how the point you're attempting to make is relevant to a ban on circumcision of minors. These studies you linked, while they provide some interesting medical data, don't really seem relevant to the discussion to me. | ||

The reasons for circumcision are terrible: -You don't have to clean it! That is a valid argument in Africa. I shower everyday and it takes about 5 seconds to clean my penis. I wouldn't want to mutilate my penis and severely reduce the pleasure I get for sex because I'm lazy. You wouldn't cut off your eyelids because you can't be bothered to clean your eyes out in the morning? -It reduces the risk of HIV! Dear God. Use fucking condoms if you're going to have sex with strangers. There's like 15 people in Iceland with AIDS, I don't need to mutilate my penis to lower the chances of catching AIDS. The majority of people with AIDS are prostitutes. Though it is more common for homosexuals and negros. Just use condoms and you'll be safe. Some men are unfortunate enough to have phimosis but that's a relatively small percentage of the whole population. Circumcision on children shouldn't be banned but I don't think that it should be encouraged. It's a Jewish ritual, it has nothing to do with Western culture. I'm not an all-banning-freedom-hating Socialist so I'm going to say no to this one. This is an outright attack on Jewish way of life. If parents want to take uninformed decisions, like mutilating their child's penis, then they should be allowed to do so. It doesn't bother me. | ||

Some girls might care about how it looks You might have a slightly lower risk of std/infection You might get to go to heaven by accepting a religious pact through slicing your dick No foreskin means you lose sensitivity, less sensitivity means you last longer Non circumcision pros: If a girl cares that much about how it looks shes probably not worth it. Alert to find yourself a better girl. If you use condoms/wash it you're going to be as clean a circumcised dude If you want to get circumcised when you're older you can do it whenever you want No potential for scarring and having a botched penis Foreskin means more sensitivity, means sex feels better. I dunno guys, seems pretty clear cut (lol) to me. | ||

 The benefits might be small but the drawbacks are ridiculously insignificant. There might not be too many people who would contract diseases because they don't wash up. But they are certainly much more than the amount of people who got their penis accidentally cut off, or the amount of people who feel traumatized today because they got cruelty mutilated when they were 1 minute old. | ||
