Re: [Peckers_Pics] Banning Circumcision

With all dure respect to all and sundry on this topic,

     It feel it is unreasonable to want to pass a law to ban circumcision.  People should decide on their own.

     There are medical studies that say that the incidence of HIV in heterosexual men is far higher when the male is uncircumcised.  There are even programs in Africa to circumcize men in order to stop the infection from spreading.  I don't know if the same is true of homosexual sex.

     There are two major religions that prescribe circumcision, and while I am not at all religious, it is absurd to try to dictate "religious" doctrine in this country.

     Finally, esthetically, I think the circumcised penis is far more palatable.  Who knows what lurking under the foreskin, some of which are quite nasty looking to boot.

If you would have researched this issue much more thoroughly you would have found that not being circumsized can cause other spread of bacteria or infection and other diseases more easily etc. as per my first reply to your post etc.

OK guys, I researched this issue thoroughly and it turns out that circumcision DOES NOT reduce chances of HIV or STD infection. In fact, it increases them because foreskin produces immune factors like lysozymes that kill HIV and various invading organisms.

Additionally, uncircumcised guys are about four times more sensitive than circumcised because circumcision removes the most sensitive parts of the organ and over 20,000 nerve ending.

Lloyd Shofeld is putting banning circumcision on the ballot in San Francisco. I am proposing we echo his bill in West Hollywood. Stop mutilating baby boys!

This article is fully referenced from the published medical literature. This is not someone's opinion. I formed my opinion after reading several dozen studies.

Moderator: Thanks Michael. I notice you change on this from time to time. Michael, you know that many of your opinions i research and formed new opinion and even Amer. Mewdical Assoc has taken a different stance that agrees with you, etc. Some items have nopt been agreed to. Yes i know about corruption, etc.... However, i have read huge studies that show different opinions on circumcision. 1st of all, countries and ethnic that lead in HIV ingection, are usually un-circumcised.

However, I believe that some have a genetic make up that prevents infection (immunity). That is why so many guys in a long term relationship have found 1 of the 2 infected. So mnay of these cases demonstrate that these are couples who had 1 of 2 partners unknowingly carrying HIV for 1 or more decades, while the other partner, never tested positive. i have read hundreds, perhaps thousands of explanations.

Personally, if i had a new born son, i would not have him circumsized as it is painful, trumatic, etc.... to the infact. However, i repect religious consideration, etc.... I am not making blanket statement of what one should do.
