Uniquely American in the Christian world. Don't know how it happened but I assume it's because our medical system was (and is) criminally insane. "Get circumcised. It's healthy. Listen to the experts." then someone smugly posts on 1920s twitter a photoshopped headstone that says "Did his own research. Died of a cock infection." My sons aren't circumcised and neither am I, and for the record my mother was the one that insisted on not doing it.
My wife and I had to watch out because despite telling them up front multiple times "no circumcision" they came to the room started wheeling them out, we asked why, and the nurse said "for their circ." And we said, "no." This happened TWO more times. As I said criminally insane.
I would recommend home births to anyone if possible. Yeah, you're probably in marginally more medical peril but you'll be safe from foreskin hungry nurses.
Yep. I have multiple boys, and in all cases, the hospital folks were just fucking champing at the bit to do the circumcision. It was ridiculous. We had to say no multiple times.
I feel like we were lucky to get them out of their intact considering they would just roll them out without saying why.
Luckily my Mother just said "Fuck off, your not hurting my babies". And that was the end of that discussion.
I found it incredibly difficult to get a specific explanation of why circumcision prevented the spread of STD's, explicitly HIV. It's an issue in Africa where they push circumcision quite heavily, even on adults, in order to combat AIDS, and it involved all the same arguments that you would normally hear in the US about cleanliness (where at least in Africa, this makes much more sense).
It actually took me a while for someone to finally talk about the actual biological and virological mechanism (especially considering how small the virus is, and we're still assuming both parties are engaging in sexual intercourse anyway), rather than just pointing at a statistic and saying "but probability go down?"
It's been a while, but as I recall, it had something to do with the fact that the exposed area under the head of the penis actually has pores that emit smegma, and the smegma actually allows the HIV virus to be active longer, and enter in through those pores, even after sexual intercourse has already ended. So the issue is that basically, a circumcision might reduce smegma buildup and also allow your dick to basically dry out and the virus will be less likely to survive with less moist and beneficial habitat. That is why it can reduce HIV transmission.
However, all of that was not common even readily available knowledge. For the most part, people are just pointing at a statistic and saying "number go down", without understanding why.
I remember going down the same rabbit hole.
From what I remember it was because the head of the glans is sensitive and vulnerable to friction micro wounds.
If it's circumcised it thickens due to regular friction and becomes tougher. Basically turning head of your dick into a callus.
I believe it was also pushed by the Kellog guy as an anti masturbation aid but I'm not sure how true that is.
I wasn't sure about the first part, but the last part about Kellog is correct.
The study is bunk anyway. It is a percent of a percentage (garbage stats). So there is a +1% difference, but that accounts for a fifty% difference from the original infection rate. And the study doesn't even account for the fact that the circumcised group was recently circumcised, meaning they were not having sex to begin with. Furthermore it was done when the group didn't even have decent access to soap and water. It is complete horseshit no matter how you look at it. Circumcision was pushed in america to curb male sexuality 100%. Where is impy's take in this?
I don't think this is one study, I think this was multiple studies in Africa which claimed around a 15% improvement in people not getting AIDS.
I don't think that's totally right. I think you mean smegma becomes too much when you don't bathe, not that it just doesn't form. It would be naturally emitted from those pores.
redditor writing fanfics. yeah, ze womens go wild for his magical peeenis. it sounds like r/trannystories
You're in pretty significant peril with hospital births anyway. The whole system is a funnel to the OR. Find a midwife center near a hospital. Midwives don't view their place of work as a chopshop.
Nurses are hungry for foreskin? In my experience, women prefer clipped guys to non clipped. "Just teach them to keep it clean" is hilarious. We are talking about boys right? Skid marks in their undies, dirty rooms, BO, etc. Yeah, they will keep that thing clean lol.
I'd rather give him the belt for being a nasty shit, rather than cutting off part of his dick.
Cope.
