Care to cite any sources? , which is diagnosed and treated (with circumcision) rather easily and only when indicated. With all the additional problems of adult circumcision. Yes, having a foreskin requires a minimum of extra care, which is a mild inconvenience far superceded by the benefits of being uncircumcised. Numbering zero, in my own experience. Of course, you would never get cavities if you had all of your teeth pulled. Very true. So what? (2) Studies on sexually transmitted disease in the U.S. have been mixed, with some studies showing increased incidence in uncircumcised men, and some showing decreased incidence in uncircumcised men. Depending, in part, on what STD you're talking about. Care to be more precise? Conclusively, there is no absolute determination that can be made. In addition, such studies are complicated by cultural factors (i.e. higher incidence of circumcision in midwestern communities where people are generally less promiscuous), race (hispanic inner city males and recent immigrants being almost overwhelmingly uncircumcise; african americans much less so than whites), socioeconomic status (lower socioeconomic status w/ higher rates of non-circumcision) and religion (particularly in India where Muslims are universally circumcised and very restricted in their sexual behaviors; wheras Hindus are overwhelmingly uncircumcised and much less restricted in their sexual behaviors). Despite these factors, the study results in the U.S. have been mixed. Despite? |
