tell dad to jam it
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe
No, stop, be serious - I know you are really. Whats a girl to do?
Has his dad had the chop? Most men in the world haven’t. Hmmm. Circumcision is still the most common, surgical procedure in the world.
Yet if I make a wild, wild guess about how it became popular in the west:
LITTLE BOYS WERE PLAYING WITH THEIR FORESKINS. Simple.
Public health and all that. Yeah. Hee hee.
There are religio’s that still insist. Some even want to chop girls.
SAVE ME.
Doctors used to advise people to smoke to improve their health.
Apparently, we are talking about 70 metres of nerves, and more than 20,000 nerve endings. That must hurt and be missed.
There are good points about circumcision
In the past there was an ongoing problem. Boys didn’t take care of their genital hygiene properly. Studies seemed to show this was far less of a problem when the boys were circumcised. Uncircumcised boys have rather poor access to the area under the foreskin. Trapped bacteria could give off an offensive smell and most people consider smegma to be unclean.
Oddly women get some health benefits when their partner is circumcised.
- cervical cancer
- breast cancer
- HIV
- chlamydia
- herpes
All of these conditions seem to somewhat reduced by circumcision of the male partner.
From the male health perspective, there are reductions in
- penile cancer
- syphilis
- balanoposthitis
- phimosis
All of the above have been studied and confirmed.
However, most of this seems to turn on hygiene considerations.
I was going to write a long piece and list many of the arguments on each side but really. Skip it I say… and tell dad to jam it.
