is being circumcized beneficial?

Answer 1

Yes it is cuz women like a circumsized man better than an uncircumsized man cuz it feels better during sex plus it can be beneficial for you as well cuz you can kee it cleaned better!

Answer 2

The answer to that question depends. There are medical cases where circumcision is preferred or even necessary, but those are rather rare.

If the foreskin is too tight/narrow to the point of pain upon erection, or if it gets repeatedly and frequently inflammed/irritated, then these are clear cases where circumcision is definitely an option.

The relation between circumcision and STDs are currently still being debated. The vast majority of research has shown no significant difference between circumcision and STDs on the whole. This has been recently refuted on both sides with HIV (see link). There is also research that indicates that regular good hygiene is just as effective as circumcision in respect to infections and STDs (see link).

The foreskin is ridiculously easy to clean and keep clean, so hygiene in today's modern developed countries is not an issue. About 80% of the world's male population is uncircumcised, and regardless of all other factors, the vast majority never have any issues being uncut. Only about 5% of all uncircumcised men will develop problems with the foreskins, yet only a small fraction of that number is severe enough to warrant medical circumcision.

Circumcision is also not without its own risks. Most of the time these risks balance out the supposed "benefits" rather evenly, so one may be doing just as much harm by circumcising as by not circumcising (see link). It's entirely possible that one may suffer a complication from circumcision where one might not have any problems whatsoever if the circumcision never took place. It follows the old saying: don't fix it if it's not broken.

Answer 3

It was thought for some time that it reduces the risk of penile cancer, but I think that was debunked. However, just this past week a 25 year old study was completed that shows a connection between being uncircumsized and getting a sexually transmited disease. So apparently there is some medical benefit . Also many people feel its easier to keep it clean down there. Since bodily secretions and dead cells build up under the foreskin which can grow bacteria that cause bad odor, it is necessary to clean under the foreskin well. Finally, some simply find being circumsized more aesthetically pleasing. Others believe the other way. One proven downside is that removal of the foreskin makes the glans less sensitive. And, if the doctor or moyle doesn't do it well, it can leave scarring and a disfigured looking member.

Now there may be situations where it is medically necessary to remove as well--such as when it is so tight that getting an erection or having sex is very painful or even impossible.

Answer 4

Studies about the benefits of circumcision have provided conflicting results. Some studies show certain benefits, while other studies do not. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) says the benefits of circumcision are not significant enough to recommend circumcision as a routine procedure and that circumcision is not medically necessary. The American Academy of Family Physicians believes parents should discuss with their son's doctor the potential benefits and the risks involved when making their decision.

A recent AAP report stated that circumcision does offer some benefit in preventing urinary tract infections in infants. Circumcision also offers some benefit in preventing penile cancer in adult men. However, this disease is very rare in all men, whether or not they have been circumcised. Circumcision may reduce the risk of sexually transmitted diseases. A man's sexual practices (e.g., if he uses condoms, if he has more than one partner, etc.) has more to do with STD prevention than whether or not he is circumcised.

Study results are mixed about whether circumcision may help reduce the risk of cervical cancer in female sex partners, and whether it helps prevent certain problems with the penis, such as infections and unwanted swelling. Some studies show that keeping the penis clean can help prevent these problems just as well as circumcision. Infections and unwanted swelling are not serious and can usually be easily treated if they do occur.

Answer 5

There are two primary benefits to circumcision. It is easier to keep clean and it looks better. However, my mother was a nurse and knew of doctors making mistakes in surgery and it wasn't a risk my parents were willing to take. The foreskin protects the glans of your penis, if you are circumcised your skin becomes slightly callused. Being uncircumcised allows you to feel more and also aids in releasing lubrication. If you practice proper hygiene and keep it clean, it works great.

Answer 6

If I'm watching an adult film with my gf, and the guy has an uncircumsized penis, she gets grossed out and says she doesn't want to watch it anymore.

So I guess the benefit of a circumcized penis is chicks dig it more.

Answer 7

Yes

Answer 8

the only benefit that i can think of is that a cut penis is less likely to become infected. my son was uncut (because we thought it was cruel to do so) and until the age of 3-4 he had continuous infections inside the forskin. his pediatric urologist recommended that he be circumsized to prevent these infections.
the doctor explained that although we kept this area clean and dry, because it's not exposed to the air and is continuously moist, it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria buildup. so we consented, he had the surgery, and he has not had any infections since. he's 23.

Answer 9

yes the benifits out weigh the risk

Answer 10

Doctors say it reduces the risk for infection. I'm circumsized and thats the last thing on my mind.
