Is It Better Being Circumcised Or Not?!


Question: Is It Better Being Circumcised Or Not.?
Answers:
There are very definite medical benefits to being circumcised as it removes the hiding place for bacterial and fungus infections. Research has also shown that being circumcised significantly reduces the risk of certain sexually transmitted diseases.

Uncircumcised men are prone also to phimosis, paraphimosis, frenulum breve and balanitis which cannot affect circumcised men.

Sex is generally better when circumcised as the sexually sensitive nerves (which are in the glans and not the foreskin) are directly stimulated during sex and not through the foreskin.

Worldwide around 25% of all males are currently circumcised although that is set to rise as China and Africa see the benefits of circumcision as a preventative against AIDS and other STIs.Health Question & Answer

The only significant difference is that it's easier to clean a circumcised penis.

other than that, all studies have shown no positive or negatives from being cut or uncut. The study on if it prevents infections is still going on, but the concept is relatively sound. The extra skin gives more places for bacteria to hide.Health Question & Answer

Most people are circumcised but its really a matter of preference. Even though you DO run less of a risk of getting an infection with being circumcised, its not that much less of a risk. Overall, being circumcised would be better because most people prefer the look and it does still have at least a little bit of a lesser chance of infection.Health Question & Answer

Sure, it's a benefit that it's cleaner, but do you think that is being cleaner is worth:

A significant amount of nerves being lost when the foreskin is amputated, causing a decrease in sensitivity.
A loss of the protection of the glans of the penis, causing it to gradually decrease in sensitivity
A loss of the "gliding action" of sex, a pleasurable experience for both people
An increased need for lubrication
In the case of an infant, robbing him of his choice to control his own body, which can strongly increase the chance of emotional or mental instabilities when he's older (don't believe me.? I've seen THOUSANDS of men feel this way).

I sure as hell don't think so. However, if you're an adult who is fully informed on the pros and cons, then it's absolutely no one's right to stop you from making the choice over your own body.

EDIT: Might I also add that it takes five bloody seconds in the shower to clean. As long as you regularly shower, hygiene problems are not an issue. Would you remove the fingernails of an infant to stop stuff from building up underneath.? It really isn't that different.

To Chris R below me: I don't think you understand just how much better it feels to rub your foreskin over your penis head, and not your fingers. Trust me. It's a ton better.Health Question & Answer

i think it is better to be circumcised because it looks more attractive and its easyer to clean and risks of infection and its more plesurable because theres no skin in the way of rubbing the sensitive end of the penisHealth Question & Answer

It's better not to be because your penis is more sensitive.
