That clinched it for me

Anecdotally, circumcision seems to be protective against a lot of STD's.

Asher better have the procedure before its too late.

What I don't understand is how the aids virus infects through the foreskin - does there need to be an abrasion/bleeding?

from the first post...

A third trial, under way in Kisumu, Kenya, is still enrolling its quota of 2,700 volunteers and is also expected to be completed in 2007, according to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which is sponsoring it.

I wonder if the clinic I visited in Kisumu is the one in this article?

You go around 3rd world countries picking up STDs and going to free clinics?

Ohhhhhh, you have NO idea. None at all.

I have to admit circumcising the cat was hard.

[Mr. Harley]

AH - and this is just a guess - you have the possibility of prolonged physical contact in a warm, wet, moist environment - uncleaned foreskin after an erection. Plus, and I do not speak from personal experience so I am guessing - mechanically the foreskin is going to move back and forth over the erection (I'm trying to use words so I don't get auto-censored) during sex, and this is going to increased the chance of getting small areas of skin rubbed raw, especially where the foreskin connects. If that is the case, it would account for the vastly increased risk of AIDS.

for cats?

[Mr. Harley]

To quote what I say to my little girl. Silly goose.

I was referencing that - not the silly remark on cats, we just cut their b*lls off and that fixes the problem. Literally, and figuratively, so to speak.

[Alexander's Horse]

no you are the goose for responding - American literalism strikes again

I think your hypothesis may be right - if sexual activity leads to small abrasions on the foreskin then that would be highly dangerous for hiv infection, no doubt about it.

who was the recent father (poster) who took a lot of flak over finally deciding to have his son circumsized based on evidence that it may lead to lower hiv infetion rate? He took a lot of flak over it. He should come back and say I told you so.

Myself? I think they look better and are more aerodynamic .

Uncut penises just look yucky.

[Mr. Harley]

Here's the interesting question. Since uncut pernises are more sensitive from all anecdotal evidence, is a man who is uncut more willing to use a condom; i.e. is the reduction in sensation such it feels as good to him as it is for a circumsized man. That is the second question that needs asked.

is sensivity a virtue? can lead to poor performance

well if you are ******** locals in Africa, good idea to get yourself checked out

Actually, at that time, I was working in sexual health field and I was curious about their VCTs (their clinics, I forgot what thos eletters stand for alto). Even took a HIV test there - it was hilarious, a white boy in a clinic filled with Africans

You'll never get an unbiased view out of a European on this - circumcision is linked with Judaism - so the question brings out their deep latent anti-semitism.

For a Euro circumcision would lead to being mistaken for a Jew. And we can't have that, can we boys

[Mr. Harley]

AH - since like most Yankees in my age group I am circumsized -

- I've never had the chance to find out.
