You look at this man and think to yourself "that's how society should be, where an honest hard-working individual can rise from poverty and become successful"
It's just that I see this whole situation and think to myself "he should never have been in poverty to begin with"

I want to like capitalism, and I certainly don't think we should go full socialist. I just think we need to move further away from capitalism since it is increasingly dividing the gap between the elite and the common man


uh capitalism has lifted a billion people out of abject poverty over the last few decades

Female circumcision is pretty barbaric. It's either removal of the labia majora and minora or removing the clitoral hood.

When it comes to penises, they're far duller and are able to function perfectly fine. It's not an apt comparison for the same reason why it's easier to get male dogs fixed than female ones.

That website hasn't been updated since 2007 and cites laughable studies (seriously, look at the sample size of some of them).
With respect to the anatomy and function, all it proves is that foreskin is skin. Congrats.

And the Oxytocin thing, the reason you're not finding anything on it is because it's BS.

If the CDC tries to use penile cancer deterrence as a supposed benefit of circumcision, but the actual numbers show that the claim is nonsense...do you need the CDC or some other authority figure to affirm as much in order for you to believe it?

However, what it sounds like from my perspective, is that there isn't a solid right or wrong answer. It appears that there are SOME medical and psychological benefits to male circumcision. With that in mind, for some people, those benefits outweigh the loss of foreskin. For others, it does not.


What are the psychological benefits.


A few people brought it up in the topic. In the U.S., there are apparently many women that prefer circumcised penises. This could play a role in self-esteem and sexual confidence.

I can't really go any further than what others may say. Not sure if there is any research on that specific sub-topic, but I'm sure there is.


Lmao you're way too smart to really be arguing this.

1) most women on the planet don't fall into that same category
2) in the US, it's still a 50% split and most women don't have a strong preference either way.
3) that wouldn't justify anything. if it suddenly become the popular thing to walk around without finger and toe nails, would that psychological benefit of removing your own finger and toe nails suddenly really matter as a real psychological benefit? no, because that preference is dictated by the culture and not evidence.
4) if someone's confidence is based on whether or not someone else likes their flaccid penis, that's pretty unfortunate. at the end of the day, your confidence needs to come from yourself, not others. especially not when women can't tell the difference once its erect lmao

i wouldn't expect a profitable venture like this one, in a deeply religious part of the world, to be scrutinized too carefully by perceived authorities.


I saw in one of the articles that I posted that over 80% of the world's males are not circumcised. Surely there are some non-American (e.g. European) studies/research that would oppose it.


But when having a foreskin is normal and unquestionable in most parts of the world, the sheer conception of having to answer "what would happen if we chopped off the nerves-rich foreskin?" doesn't even register to people. It's such a strange concept. It's like asking us in America to study the pros and cons of removing a human's finger nails and seeing if there's any benefit to that. You get me?

circumcision is not needed in infants at all. there's no reason to do it that doesn't involve either circumventing proper hygiene or trying to address extremely improbable events that would happen when the infant is already old enough to decide for himself if he wants to remove the foreskin.

the foreskin is an organ in itself, with tens of thousands of highly sensitive nerve endings. it affects sensation, it keeps the glans healthy, it increases the partner's pleasure, it has a role in the oxytocin bonding between partners.

i wouldn't expect a profitable venture like this one, in a deeply religious part of the world, to be scrutinized too carefully by perceived authorities.

I'm seeing a lot of disagreement about the central point about this discussion: Does male circumcision have a medical benefit? If yes, do those benefits outweigh the value a foreskin?

I also don't see a lot of source for people making claims on both sides. I'll post some.

1. Three randomized trials in Africa demonstrated that adult male circumcision decreases human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) acquisition in men by 51% to 60%,1 and the long-term follow-up of these study participants has shown that the protective efficacy of male circumcision increases with time from surgery. These findings are consistent with a large number of observational studies in Africa and in the United States that found male circumcision reduces the risk of HIV infection in men.1 Thus, there is substantial evidence that removal of the foreskin reduces the risk of male heterosexual HIV acquisition
http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/article-abstract/1104451

2. Evaluation of current evidence indicates that the health benefits of newborn male circumcision outweigh the risks; furthermore, the benefits of newborn male circumcision justify access to this procedure for families who choose it. Specific benefits from male circumcision were identified for the prevention of urinary tract infections, acquisition of HIV, transmission of some sexually transmitted infections, and penile cancer. Male circumcision does not appear to adversely affect penile sexual function/sensitivity or sexual satisfaction.
http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/130/3/e756.short

3. Of 354&#8201;297 male infants born during the study period, 130&#8201;475 (37%) were circumcised during their newborn stay. Overall 287 (.2%) of circumcised children and 33 (.01%) of uncircumcised children had complications potentially associated with circumcision coded as a discharge diagnosis. Based on our findings, a complication can be expected in 1 out every 476 circumcisions. Six urinary tract infections can be prevented for every complication endured and almost 2 complications can be expected for every case of penile cancer prevented.
http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/105/Supplement_2/246.short

Overall, I'm finding a lot of studies that are pro-circumcision based on the medical benefits. I did find a few that were against it, but the credibility of those articles was lacking. In one instance, a researcher cited himself to validate reasons against it.


Penile cancer is very rare and there isn't enough data to associate circumcision or lack thereof with it. Safe sex is much more effective at preventing HIV and STDs, and an infant doesn't need to worry about STDs so it is not sufficient justification for circumcising infants. UTI is preventable through proper hygiene, and the reason American sources aren't going to list that is because circumcision has been a tradition in America.

Finding American sources to dispute a profitable and engrained tradition (especially a religious one) is not going to be a walk in the park. There's a lot of cognitive dissonance from perceived authorities on this subject matter.

I know this has been posted before, but:

Circumcision has medical benefits (as you've all been clearly shown) and it's highly recommended - that's not refutable.
If you're arguing ""unconsensual circumcision" then you also have to argue unconsensual vaccines, etc. It's ridiculous.

It's also okay to admit you're wrong sometimes. More respect comes from that.


1) your respect is useless
2) the supposed medical benefits are refutable.
3) vaccines don't involve mutilating someone's genitalia.


1. I'm sorry you feel that way.
2. You should inform the CDC.
3. I'm using the excuse you've given of why a prophylactic procedure is wrong.


the CDC is not some end-all be-all of medical authorities and knowledge. they've been wrong before, and their listed benefits are exaggerated greatly. they aren't even benefits. you can prevent UTI by washing properly. you can prevent STDs by using condoms and practicing safe sex, and these aren't even a risk until the child is old enough to decide for itself if it wants to permanently damage its penis through circumcision.
