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?

    More of the Same: A Biological Necessity

    It is true that the NOCIRC is more of the same. This is because reputable sources have found women have better hearing. Marilyn Milos hears you Dr. Schoen. But because men do not have the equality of feminine hearing, women have to repeat themselves to those who continue to not even listen and keep on making the same old mistakes.

    Vaginal latency time with 6 minutes? That's nice. This might be from your Premature Hallucinations over circumcision combined with incessant Repetition Compulsion with the matter you have no idea that you do not have your situation well in hand.

    Look at the facts. It's >50% of the skin system of a part designed to expand into its skin, leaving in many cases a ruched bit to rub on the female GSPOT (why do you think condoms designed for her pleasure have ridges below the glans?!). It contains almost all the fine touch neuroreceptors of the penis - those are the nerve endings that make erogenous zones erogenous.

    That is why neonatal circumcision is obselete in Europe.
