Should circumcision be banned?

[AD]

I saw this topic on another board and it went six pages deep. I'm curious to know what some of ya'll think about this topic. Should it be banned? If so, why? If not, why not? BTW, this applies to male or female circumcision.

I think you should be banned. Just peel back the skin and kiss it....JMJ [img]biggrinangel.gif[/img]

male, female or both? i saw a documentary on female circumsision not too long ago, very tricky subject. it's very deep within the culture. folks tend to look at this way too 'etnocentered' (hope this is a word). not saying i agree with these practices, but again, very tricky...

For the men it's about being clean. Some people practice it in religion but doctors do it for health reasons.

I don't think it should be banned, I had a cousin that kept getting infections from her boyfriend (not std's) she went to the doctor and the doctor told her that because her mate wasn't circumsized, she would keep getting infections because we wasn't keeping his stuff clean. That was weird.

Haven't met a woman yet who would want to part with her clitoris. Maybe those cultures who have decided to abuse their women this way fear what happens with you "push the magic button."

Inflicting pain on an infant is cruel.
Many old religious customs are based upon the social necessities of their time.
Female circumcision prevents women from enjoying sex so they won't cheat on their husbands.
Male circumcision prevents men from getting infections due to poor cleaning habits.
As we mature as a society it is important to honour customs and traditions of our ancestors.
However, mutilating genitailia doesn't bring you closer to God.

God invented soap!
Pass it on!

studies have shown that neonatal male circumcision prevents certain forms of cancer in both sexes - i don't know how set in stone true that is, but it bears mentioning in any discussion.

[ngeso]

keep hearing about these studies, and i'm in doubt. i wonder, because that would mean that i.e. continental europeans or south americans or many asians are more prone to these types of cancer and living at risk, since there is next to no practice of male infant circumcision in these parts of the world.

in any case, there's no preventative medical case in favour of male genital mutilation in our societies, when near everyone in the northern hemisphere has access to hot and cold showers, a lot of us on a multidaily basis.

peace. ngeso.

i support everyone being intact, men and women. as far as infections go, it doesn't matter whether you are cut or uncut, washing your ass (and pubic area) will keep you out of trouble.

the foreskin is an organ. it has specific purposes, it is NOT just an extra piece of useless skin. having the foreskin removed actually significantly reduces the erect length of the penis.

The foreskin has twelve known functions.
They are:
1. to cover and bond with the synechia so as to permit the development of the mucosal surface of the glans and inner foreskin.
2. to protect the infant's glans from feces and ammonia in diapers.
3. to protect the glans penis from friction and abrasion thoughout life.
4. to keep the glans moisturized and soft with emollient oils.
5. to lubricate the glans.
6. to coat the glans with a waxy protective substance.
7. to provide sufficient skin to cover an erection by unfolding.
8. to provide an aid to masturbation and foreplay.
9. to serve as an aid to penetration.
10. to reduce friction and chafing during intercourse.
11. to serve as erogenous tissue because of its rich supply of erogenous receptors.
12. to contact and stimulate the G-spot of the female partner.

A ex girlfriend used to breed Boxer dogs, it was made illegal to lob the tail off UK breeds but it was acceptable in the U.S, this was mid 80's

Now, this is also a disqualification in the U.S

So it's wrong to chop the tails of dogs but OK to chop .................. ;)

that's actually the most common misconception about male circumcision, that it's cleaner and done for health reasons.

they are no real health benefits, and you're essentially removing what could in some ways be considered a male clitoris (in the sense that the foreskin houses many nerve endings).

my mother knew this when i was born and made sure i stayed in tact. i thank her for this every day since puberty ;)

martin, i have a female brindle boxer and i have to say that yes, we have her ears and tail cropped but i thought that in europe they did not practice cropping the ears but still crop the tail. i did a lot of research on boxers before i got her and this is what i took away from my reading. just wondering if you meant the ears.
