I seem to recall that there once was a group of Russian mystics who practiced such a ritual upon themselves. They would attempt to reshape their genital region into the shape of a star. For some reason the Communists eradicated the practice after they took over.

Meh, once the circumcision heals, doesn't the guy live a totally normal life? I imagine he might have very slight difficulties in aiming when he pees compared to an "all natural," but nothing significant. In principle, circumcision seems no worse than ear-piercing or tattoos, it's just more painful initially. But then, I've never had one (I'm sure you folks really wanted to know that!).

The mutilation, on the other hand, is deliberately crippling to the woman, like Chinese foot-binding. Bit of a difference, isn't there?

As for P.C.'s remarks on PC, I'll just pull out the well-worn adage that opinions are like arseholes; we all have one and nobody begs for a look. Ask a hippy sometime how effective it is to just screech your beliefs at those who oppose them. Yeah, some missionaries do the same thing, but those are the crappy missionaries who don't get much in the way of results. Point is, rants and insults just aren't very persuasive. So Political Correctness or something like it might have a purpose to some extent. Am I right?

Yep, that's me -- evil, despicable, and cruel because I prefer excellent hygiene of private parts.

There's also some evidence that circumcision may reduce the transmission of HIV. I'm confident that FGM does not.

[Asher]

Actually, I'm pretty sure females circumcized will be having sex less, so thereby having a lower transmission rate.

MrFun: If you shower once a day, hygeine is not a problem. I suppose, though, in your case, you may have taken the best course of action.

showering is overrated
