circumcision!!!!

I don't believe one word you say is true . . . The English are uncircumcised and the English are healthy. Our women are happy too. We have a fraction of STD cases the US has and a fraction of cervical cancer. I wonder why?

Dear Colonel, you are mistaken (yet again). The rate of AIDS infection in Britain (to take just one example) is one of the highest in Europe:

The UK's Health Protection Agency (HPA) issued a report in 2007 saying that "the HIV/AIDS crisis is ongoing among British homosexuals. The AIDS rate among British homosexuals rose 13 per cent in the last year according to recent statistics. This places Britain third in the rate of infection among European countries."

Now, here I'm making an assumption that British men (like the homosexual Brits in the survey) are largely uncircumcised (according to your note), which clearly enhances the ability of you and your mates to spread disease. The report goes on to say that the rate of infection is rising most rapidly amongst women (who are infected by their infected uncircumcised male friends), which is why most British women take a keen interest in the habits and foreskins of their male partners. Because therein be serious pathogens, just waiting to infect unsuspecting, trusting, innocent British girls.

As for the rest of your remarks regarding my smelly bits, I'll simply pass. It's enough satisfaction to know that a woman's smelly bits aren't nearly as dangerous as the smelly bits of the average uncircumcised British man since a woman's delicate little bits don't harbour and nurture lethal pathogens the way a foreskin does.

USA - HIGHEST INFECTION RATES IN THE WEST.

USA - HIGHEST CIRCUMCISION LEVEL IN THE WEST.

SWEDEN - LOWEST INFECTION RATE IN THE WEST

SWEDEN - LOWEST CIRCUMCISION RATE IN THE WEST (PRACTICALLY BANNED).

IDIOT.

I'll post later statistics to blow you out of the water. I'm also going to add you to Admin's troll list since you are baiting people with absolute rubbish.

Just remember: I'm not the one having a continuous hissy fit and calling people crude names. You'll never win an argument by simply going ballistic! Please stick to the topic and stop referring to my private parts.

You haven't the scientific data to back up anything - I do.

You are a troll - you need to be banned.

First off, I'd like to apologize for reviving this topic, but I felt obligated to post after reading it.

The whole arument of "just wash it with soap & water, and you won't have any problems" is absurd.

Absolutely not. I don't see how it's difficult to clean yourself at least once a day, which is probably most convenient in the shower.

You can't just yank your spanky out anywhere you are, dangle it over a sink & start scrubbing, like in public restrooms, for instance.

Which is why it's a good idea to do it in the morning as part of your morning hygiene routines, or after you get home from work. And again, the shower also makes it very convenient. Common sense is your best friend.

The fact is, the foreskin traps bacteria, and 99% of the time, you can't do anything about it, so you become a walking cheese factory, like it or not.

As an uncircumcised male who knows numerous other uncircumcised males, I'm inclined to believe that this statement is definitely false. I have never had such an issue with my penis, and neither have any of the afore-mentioned males. I honestly believe that you would have to literally try to allow something like this to happen, which would mean purposely avoiding some very simple hygiene. Unless you have a condition like Phimosis [which can be solved with a Preputioplasty, otherwise known as a "Dorsal Slit"], then this definitely should not be an issue.

Sorry you women, but you simply can't comment on this, because you have no idea how the mechanics of it work.

I also find this to be a very awful, generalized statement in bad taste. It almost sounds like you're saying women aren't capable of understanding, which I find very degrading and disrespectful to women, aside from the fact that it's not correct. Women or no, it's not difficult to ask an uncircumcised friend, or lover, or ex-lover [provided that the relationship is appropriate] a few questions on the subject, or even have an in-depth discussion on it. It's also not difficult to do some research on the subject considering how accessible resources and in-depth information is. Welcome to 2008.

Now, here I'm making an assumption that British men (like the homosexual Brits in the survey) are largely uncircumcised (according to your note), which clearly enhances the ability of you and your mates to spread disease. The report goes on to say that the rate of infection is rising most rapidly amongst women (who are infected by their infected uncircumcised male friends), which is why most British women take a keen interest in the habits and foreskins of their male partners. Because therein be serious pathogens, just waiting to infect unsuspecting, trusting, innocent British girls.

I think people need to stop blaming the spread of disease on uncircumcised penises, and accept that the true cause of this is irresponsible sex [with the exception of a few "special" instances] and general reckless behavior, which can't be solved by circumcising a male. Circumcised penises are definitely not immune to such risks, which should indicate that cause of this problem is something else. I believe that this is just something which shows that you need to be responsible with your partners and who you choose to make love with, along with using adequate protection. Granted that I'm only 21 years old right now, I still feel that I'm a good example of someone that executes these precautions, and I am very happy to report that neither I nor any uncircumcised male friend of mine have fallen victim to any STD.

Be safe and smart.

If people wrapped it up, there'd be a lot less of a problem.
The rise of STD's is up to our generation sleeping around and being careless with protection. NOT circumcised Vs. non
