And as for the whole "STD's grow under the foreskin, bacteria under fingernails" I'm in complete agreement with the whole bacteria part. But I thought AIDs and HIV were infections, not bacteria. Forgive me if my A-levels in Biology were completely false, but I thought they were two completely different things?
In a study done in Africa, it was proven that AIDS spreads more readily in a population that is not circumcised. If a man does not bathe, the foreskin offers a location to harbor blood or other infectious tissue from one partner and to transfer it to the next.
Somewhere along the line this information has been interpreted and spread as meaning that not being circumcised is dangerous.
However it has very little meaning outside of cultures where men don`t bother cleaning themselves between sex with multiple partners. (Eww...)

PS: Also, to Nyororin, there's no need to put a space between apostrophes, it's a dropping of a letter - ie: Do not ---> Donot ---> Don't. The ' replaces the o ^_^ (And I mean that in a way to improve your grammar, not as an insult, so please don't take it that way my dearest :3
I don`t put a space between them. :) Check the number of characters. It just *looks* that way because the font you are using is treating ` differently than it treats '.
It`s a backtick/backquote, and is a typing habit I picked up a very very long time ago. And no, I have no plans to change it. And you are the second person in 15 years to make a comment on it.

ah circumcision, to me its not really a big deal if you're uncircumcised or not. As long as you clean down there regularly

7. Proper blood flow. The foreskin contains several feet of blood vessels, including the frenular artery and branches of the dorsal artery. The loss of this rich vascularization interrupts normal blood flow to the shaft and glans of the penis, damaging the natural function of the penis and altering its development [1].

8. Immunological defense. The soft mucosa of the inner foreskin produces plasma cells, which secrete immunoglobulin antibodies, and antibacterial and antiviral proteins [7, 14], such as the pathogen-killing enzyme called lysozyme [15 and Blue_ArrowD096.gif (140 bytes)see explanation]. All of the human mucosa (the linings of the mouth, eyelids, vagina, foreskin and anus) are the body's first line of defense against disease. This benefit of the foreskin could be one possible explanation why intact men are at lower risk of chlamydia and other sexually transmitted diseases [16-21].

9. Langerhans cells. These specialized epithelial cells are a component of the immune system and may play a role in protecting the penis from sexually transmitted infections such as HIV (AIDS) [Blue_ArrowD096.gif (140 bytes)see explanation and 14-16, 18].

10. Proper lymph flow. The foreskin contains lymphatic vessels, which are necessary for proper lymph flow and immunological functioning.

I totally agree with what Nyorin's post says.

I'm actually snipped and the thought of not being done does sound problematic.

Sex feels great, my partner loves it, so I'm not complaining;)

You don't bathe yourself?

That was only for Africa, because of hygienic problems. Studies in different countries are quite different if you ask me.

Initiate's death blamed on dehydration

An initiate had died in Butterworth, in the Eastern Cape, apparently from dehydration, the police said on Thursday.

Captain Jackson Manatha said that 19-year-old Sonke Foca "is alleged to have dehydrated in his traditional hut on Wednesday".

"It is alleged that the deceased was circumcised by a professional traditional doctor (ingcibi) on Saturday," he said.

He added that a nurse had called an ambulance after she had noticed that he was very weak, but upon its arrival, Foca was already dead.

Another E Cape circumcision death

The Eastern Cape has recorded its second death of the summer circumcision season, the province's health department said on Wednesday.

The 19-year-old youth died on Wednesday morning at an illegal intiation school in the Butterworth area of Transkei, spokesman Sizwe Kupelo said.

The cause of death was not known yet.

The school had been closed down by health authorities.

Another 19-year-old died of dehydration in the same area earlier this month.

Kupelo said the department would send a team to the area to close down other illegal schools.

Circumcising boys for religious reasons 'could breach Human Rights Act'

Circumcising boys for religious reasons is akin to pulling out their fingernails and could be a breach of the Human Rights Act, an academic has warned.

By Rebecca Smith, Medical Editor

Dr David Shaw, lecturer in ethics at Glasgow University, argues that circumcising boys for no medical reason is unethical.

He wrote in the journal Clinical Ethics that any doctor who does perform circumcision without a medical reason could be guilty of negligence and in breach of the Human Rights Act as the child cannot consent to the operation and it can be argued it is not in their best interests.

Circumcision is about as stupid as cutting your dick off.

Africans are going to get aids regardless of if they have half a penis or a full one; it's the African Way to mess shit up.

It's a stupid religous thing, not any smarter than refusing to eat pork. It's out dated, and any civilized community will not chop half their dicks off.
