#1 Well hey! If circumcision cuts it by 50% then think what castration might do!

Hehehe

#2 The fact is that because the tip of the penis spends all time without a protective layer of skin its outer layer becomes abit skin like. This skin like tissue who is probably formed of dead cells could be less vulnerable to infection than in a normal penis.

Note that an adult man has a nulmber of involuntary erections during the night so after an operation he will be scream from pian there or four times a night for months.

Note that circumcision does nothing to presvent infection to the woman so it can have an indirectly negative effect as men becom less careful, thus increasing the number of infected women thus increasing teh number of expôsures to "protected" men..

#3 Living a life of abstinence devoid of pleasure and human contact works even better.

#4 I don't have one, so I am kiinda ignorant about this, BUT...

Wasn't the argument originally that male circumcision was only recommended when bathing was not done adequately-the skin was not pulled back and the penis cleansed thoroughly on a daily basis? Wouldn't that be preferable? Have they done any studies comparing infection rates in those that bathe adequately to those that are circumcised?

I would hate to see circumcision as currently done (without anesthesia) become unquestioned, codified practice worldwide-in part, out of sympathy for baby boys who go though it, and in part for selfish reasons; I can just hear all the brilliant Horn of Africa doctors talk about how female "circumcision" needs to be done to prevent HIV/AIDS, too.

#5 Yes, circumcision can be a difficult recovery. After I was circumcised, I couldn't walk for a year.

#6 Not stickin' that head somewhere it wasn't designed or intended to go works wonders too in the prevention of AIDS or so I'm told.

Circumcision is definitely one of those procedures that is best performed early!

And the world rejoices! Just kidding. I bet you really have all the HOT French babes with the plaited underarm hair making booty calls at all hours! ;-) I am so jealous!

#9 The gay lobby won't like this.

#10 I'm probably going to regret asking, but why would the homosexual lobby be exercised about circumcision?

#11 IIUC, the gay lobby has long worked against finding a cure for HIV. Neutralizing HIV would eliminate the victimhood platform and the research-grant gravy train. Much as eliminating prejudice would for [insert opportunistic "aggrieved" minority group here].

#12 bathhouse behavior including v1agra and meth are a huge reason for the increase in HIV and STDs in the gay community. They don't want to explain that. The propaganda is that we are all equally at risk for HIV/AIDS. We aren't. If circumcision keeps men from getting HIV in heterosexual relations (for the most part), they will lose the "it affects ALL of us", especially since uninfected men can't infect uninfected women. It's the $ and national attention PR campaign without addressing the worst case causes and situations
