What do you think of circumcision?

I was told this in my younger days, while having kids, I had to boys I have one now, and is is almost your age. I didn't read all his message I am speaking from my own experince. I am a half a century.

What reason do you have to think that way? I bet my answer #6 addresses it. :/

whywiki, it is newly found that circumcision does absolutely nothing for cleanliness or health.. ... actually its not that new, its ben about a year..

"I think foreskin is unappealing so if I had a boy I would have him circumcised." That's unbelievably selfish. That child is an individual, not a doll for you to carve into whatever form you like. Would you constantly dye your child's hair (or permanently change the color if you could) if it was born with a hair color you find "unappealing"? Listen to yourself, for crying out loud. You might think it's healthier and cleaner, but it isn't. There is not a single major medical organization in the world that condones routine circumcision. Not one. That should tell you something about how much "healthier" it is. And as for "cleaner", what makes it cleaner is WASHING--whether or not there is a foreskin there doesn't matter. A foreskin is just a piece of skin; it's not inherently dirtier than any other piece of skin on the body.

It is nice to hear the opinion of an atheist. Thank you a lot for your response whywiki

Thank you for your respond dear dvschic. I think you are right about that I believe circumcision is definetly good for health

Circumcision before was for a sign of the covenant made between God and Abraham which Abraham shall do to himself and his son Ismael and all males in the household of him and that was done and also to all the descendants of Abraham on the eighth day from birth and therefore the Israelites were circumcised. God had the purpose and may be one of them is also hygiene. If it is proven that it is more hygienic if a male is circumcised, then they should be circumcised.

A lot of people who are cut have nasty hygene. Just because you are cut does not mean you are germ free. I've also slept with a man who was not cut due to problems at birth. He was by far one of the cleanest men I had ever seen. Not a problem one. As long as the man knows what to do with it, I don't care one way or another. But I do think it's cruel.

why more attractive. mutilation is rarely more attractive than something natural.

Actually urine wouldn't be bad at all. It's a clean fluid and could actually aid the healing process.
