Ladies: should circumcision be made mandatory?

Question

According to a study, women prefer circumcized men over others. It has also shown that circumcized men have less chances of break-ups over others.

Of course, it's a personal choice, but would you like to enforce it on men if you had a chance.

P.S. please don't associate circumcision with cleanliness...as even non-circumcised men can be clean if they want and every circumcized man doesn't have to be clean.

"Teresa", I agree it was the craziest thing I heard either.

I never said who's more clean. Cleanliness is up to an individual. One must not assume these things just on the basis of circumcision status.

By the way, circumcized men have less chances of being HIV+ doesn't mean that all of them are HIV free.

It's unethical to assume one to be susceptible to HIV just because one isn't circumcized.

Answer 1

What the heck kind of question is this, too much time on your hands? No one should make cutting a man's penis mandatory! You need a life and need to get out of the house.

Answer 2

It's not that parents don't know the supposed health benefits, it's that they DO know what a horrible procedure circumcision is, and how it violates the child'd human rights by mutilating them. For every "expert" who wants circumcision made mandatory, there is another who wants to see it banned altogether.

Answer 3

Ladies in favor should seek out Renate Dorrestijn or Antoinette McGowan. Dutch sexuologist Renate Groenenboom confided to me ten years ago that American women were beter satisfied.

Answer 4

I've heard that a circumcision serves no real purpose - for health reasons anyway. I think it is just aesthetically pleasing. I don't think it should be forced, I think it is a personal choice. I guess it is usually a choice that a parent makes for his or her son. It is unfortunate that the baby doesn't have a say in it.

Answer 5

No. Circumcision is a personal and sometimes a religious choice. It should be left up to the individual barring that their parents haven't made the choice for them.

Answer 6

This is a very controversial question. Part of me says that it should be illegal to allow circumcision because of the pain and trama. Have you ever watched a baby get circumcised. Look it up on the internet, its HORRIBLE! So SAD.

Then another part of me says its a good thing becuase of the cleanliness of it

Answer 7

this has got to be one of the craziest things i have read on here. circumcision has NOTHING to do with people breaking up

Answer 8

No, even though I am very much in favor of the procedure

Answer 9

YES definetely, and if not mandatory, it should be definetely recommended to everyone, everywhere.

CIRCUMCISION IS VERY BENEFICIAL, its cleaner and several research bodies have concluded that circumcised men have less risk of contracting STD's such as AIDS-HIV or herpes.

Uncircumcised penises are difficult to keep clean, and more prone to infections and penile cancer, studies have shown.
A circumcised penis is naturally clean and virtually free from urinary infection. You will not have to worry again with careful washing of your penis.

Is it NOT true that the AAP (American Academy of Paediatrics) does not recommend circumcision. They simply say they leave the decision to parents. But recently, and specially after the New Zealand study, the AAP has been discussing if it may be necessary to change their policy and recommend circumcision to all newborns as they used to do, so in the future we may see that the AAP advocates again circumcision.

About STD's:

As I said, several studies carried out by prestigious research bodies have concluded that uncircumcised penises are more prone to infections and contraction of STD's, including AIDS-HIV. Circumcised men have been proved to be up to seven times less likely to be infected than those who are uncircumcised. Have a look at this site: http://icuxbridge.icnetwork.co.uk/news/tm_objectid=14095142&method=full&siteid=53340&headline=-circumcision-protects-against-aids--name_page.html

As for women, studies also show that circumcision also protects female partners from AIDS-HIV and other STD's. Browse this article: http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/Press_releases/2006/02_08_06.html

About sensitivity of a circumcised penis:

No medical or physiological study has proved that circumcision reduces sensitivity, opposed to common belief. It is completely FALSE that circumcision reduces penis sensitivity. The American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP) confirms this on their web site; have a look at: http://www.aap.org/pubed/zzzjzmemh4c.htm

Circumcision is an easy and nowadays *painless* procedure, which has many benefits, and virtually no risks.
Circumcision is NOT an amputation. Circumcision is NOT comparable at all to female circumcision, which is something completely different.

Circumcision rates are INCREASING nowadays, both in the United States and overseas. Many African and South American countries with little circumcision tradition are starting to promote the procedure to help to reduce the AIDS-HIV infection rates.

Answer 10

i think that it doesn't matter to me one way or another if a male is or is not circumcised, they all work the same regardless
