- There have been various reasons for circumcision, some timely, some not. Cleanliness is one reason cited. It caught on in Europe way back when because it was thought to discourage masturbation. Doctors often recommend it in areas with high incidence of HIV, since circumcision reduces the risk of STIs.
- One of my friends is a nurse and she is HIGHLY in favor of it. Her reason? She's had to give eighty-year-old men sponge baths! |
Much like tail docking, people have the right to chose on this one
. I circ'd my boys, and if I have more, will continue to. I am not ignorant on the subject, and if there is one thing that irritates me about this, is that those that think that they are so enlightened about it, believe that those of us that believe in it are ignorant about it. I firmly stand by a parent's right to chose circing for their son's. Not that this has anything to do with tail docking
