Aneirin -> RE: Cut or Uncut ? (5/6/2008 8:22:51 PM)

I initially started this subject as I had found a possible good point for the negativity I felt at the mutilation, but as time has gone on and I have learned from others, their feelings on the matter, it has caused me to seek further and have come across movements in religous groups trying to educate against the practice of their own belief, including Jewish and Moslem groups.

As to the medical reasons, they now are very few and far between, as most cases of phimosis and paraphimosis can be treated in other ways, steroid creams etc. Circumcision is now regarded as a last resort in these cases and there even exists a growing requirement for pastic surgery to replace what was taken away, not to mention other ways which might appeal to some here, the stretching of the skin with weights ;

Quite often the procedure on the very young creates skin tags and other deformities which look very much like genital warts, the deformities causing pain, often rupture and carry a risk of infection, which kind of negates the cleanliness aspect of circumcision. The guidlines are that these deformities should be cleaned up, but it is interesting to note though the British NHS will circumcise, they will not be responsible for cleaning up and one will have to pay privately for that procedure.
Of course, sensitivity is lost through the drying out of the head, the quest for pleasure may mean harder work, but harder work often in some leads to pain and deformities if they have them rupturing and creating a path for infections.
