Fox: Circumcision as 'cleanliness' option debunked
Submitted by anthony on Tue, 2008-04-08 19:10
Article here.
*WARNING: Some material could be considered offensive by some*
Excerpt:
'4. Being uncircumcised is unhygienic.
For decades, parents in the U.S. have been circumcising their infant sons in the name of “cleanliness.” Only recently have parents started to second-guess the idea that having a foreskin is unhygienic. As research has shown, as long as the foreskin is retracted during bathing, uncircumcised males are no more likely than circumcised males to develop problems like inflammation, phimosis (a condition where the foreskin cannot be fully retracted from the head of the penis), or adhesions.'

Good but
I just want to bitch about #8:
8. Men’s members need to be handled with care.
Just about any bloke will tell you that while his valuables are just that – valuable – he can handle a bit of manhandling...
That's great and all, but "bloke"? The rest of the article has pretty neutral terms for the sexes. Male, female, man, woman, etc. Why suddenly throw in a negative-leaning term for men here? Did she have a bad memory associated with a guy saying "Jesus woman, you can go a little harder than that!"
Regarding circumcision.
It says you should retract. They should distinguish between men and boys with retractable foreskins and men and boys who have not yet developed retractable ones. The article could easily be interpreted as saying that the naturally non-retractable foreskin of a child should be forcefully retracted,which is torturous.
Men do not have sensitive nipples?
That's FUCKING hilarious!!!!
The last thing about sex I'm concerned about is my nipples!
I chastise any man that complains about a lack nipple stimulation.
Blowjob...yes!
Nipple Job...Weird!
That's it. Bedtime for Tony
I have to go out on a limb
I have to go out on a limb here and suggest that men with foreskins ARE more likely to develop phimosis than men without. Kind of like how a woman is unlikely to develop prostate cancer.
That Was A Waste Of Time
I can't say I learned anything from that article. I already knew all of that. I also laughed at the part regarding men's nipples. The reason being that it's pretty obvious. Anyone who has suffered a tittie twister would know that. I disagree with anthony. It's okay to want her to play with em a little.
