circumsion has no hygenic or helth benifits whatsoever, i challenge anyone to demostrate otherwise. it is a religous invention and its orignialpurpose is to prevent masterbation and sodomy. i think that matt is a bit extreem in his comments about this, it is not the most senstive part of your penis by any means, and im sure the sort of possible complications he suggests are rare. I can certanly sympathise with his strong feelings on the matter though, it is an sick anti-homosexual practice, to alter the body of an infant in an confused attempt to prevent homosexuality. Anyone who is going to engage in sodomy should use propor protection and lubrication anyway, though - but its really a matter of principle.
at any rate, even any of the proposed benifits of curcumsition should be up to the individual being curcumsized, not his parents while hes an infant. its an unhelthy tradition to, at birth, inhibit your chilRAB ability to masterbate. The forskin serves the purpose of bolth a natural lubricant, and protetction for the otherwise skinless end of the penis - its important and jsut should not be removed.
even worse is female circumsition - a deeply disturbing issue that i wont get into here. i caution anybody who may wish to look into that on their own that it is possibly one of the darkest sickest parts of our modern world.
