I didn't realise how common circumcision was in America until recently. Is there any particular reason for it? I mean, surely you're not going to take a new-born to the doctor and snip off the end of his willy just to save him the inconvenience of washing there once a week?

- Circumcision may lower a boy’s chances of getting a urinary tract infection, particularly in the first year of life. A number of studies have shown that circumcised infants run a risk of about one in 500 of getting a urinary tract infection, whereas the risk for boys who are not circumcised is around one in 100.
- Circumcision eliminates the risk of infections under the foreskin which may happen in infancy and later in childhood. Nevertheless, there is a small risk of inflammation of the extreme tip of a circumcised penis, particularly in infancy.
- Circumcision almost eliminates the risk of developing cancer of the penis later in life. It should be stressed, however, that this is a very rare condition with an incidence of 1 in 100,000.
- Circumcised men run a lower risk of getting sexually transmitted diseases, perhaps including AIDS, than men who are not circumcised. However, circumcision is no substitute for appropriate public health measures (such as condom use).

one of the best decision i ever took in my life.

i was 9 and i vividly remember everything. from crying before-hand because i was scard. i thought they were going to cut it off. and i remember waking up with a bloody dick wrapped in gauze. it was hell for several days trying to urinate. my urethra was clogged with "stuff" because it was healing, and it burned like hell. i cried a lot. i couldnt walk for 3 days because of the anestesia.

What if he says "no, I actually happen to like my foreskin"? Or, better yet, "sure, so long as you come down to the surgeon with me and get him to fix-up those breasts of yours while we're at it"?
