Should Boys be Circumcised?

Parents face so many difficult decisions when it comes to having a child: decisions about nursing, sleep patterns, discipline, teaching methods and, in the case of boys, whether or not to circumcise. In addition to being the most common surgery for males in the U.S., circumcision has been practiced in various cultures for centuries. Yet when it comes to the health and best interest of your newborn, is circumcision the way to go?

    Not a medical DR?

    A problem in the US is that so many like Ausie DR Moris are cut and they then defend this cutting of babies. Indeed, the men in Africa that are cut are like most men, they say there penis works just great. The point of what is lost is left out of the discussion.

    The risks of circ are very understated. Besides the death, botches, recircs, skin bridges, curved penis MRSA nightmares that are not well documented and not all available for referencing there is a 100% chance of losing the most pleasure giving genital part.

    The 19th century circ nutters were correct on one point it does lower sexual pleasure including during masturbation.
