There is a serious condition called paraphimosis which can easily occur in uncircumsized maies, and is completely prevented by circumcision. It is avoided by using normal care, but it could be used in an argument in favor of circumcision, nobody seems to ever mention it.
And if I cut off my pinky finger I can avoid getting arthritis in it.
Must be a good idea!
lmfao
The amount of uncircumcised males who’d need to undergo circumcision for phimosis is less than 2%. The phimosis argument is not even an argument.
I wasn't talking about phimosis, I was talking about paraphimosis which is like more like a careless accident that could potentially happen to anyone uncircumsized. And, I am not arguing for circumcision by any means.
That's 10 times the death rate of those actually sick with the coof... So, get snipped
They have found that making a small incision in the foreskin rather than removal of foreskin can cure phimosis. So they can no longer us this as an argument for it.
Good point. Nonetheless it may provide some explanation for the original institution of the practice. Also, paraphimosis is not the same thing as phimosis.
thanks
Phimosis is supposed to be treated when it occures and not preemptively. And it's a small percentage of men who really need this kind of operation anyway.
For some reason, circumcision is big business in the US. In Europe it's not, unless you are a Jew or a muslim.
Yeah nobody over here is circumcised really. As far as I’m aware doctors won’t circumcise children when they’re born even if asked to. There are moves being made to prohibit it outright even for jews and muslims in quite a few European countries, because something about mutilating the genitals of innocent young babies doesn’t sit well with most folk in this part of the world, and archaic religious justifications don’t really hold much water against the whole mutilating innocent children being wrong arguments being proffered.
Agreed. But you should know there is a big difference between phimosis, and paraphimosis.

(I have no data for this story ... only what I've been told from first hand experience....)
I have an older friend who was a Vietnam trauma surgeon. Besides war injuries, the primary surgery he did on American GI was emergency circumcision to fix this and other jungle rot on the dick. Most GI would wait until it got 'bad' (due to embarrassment) and then it was a much more painful road to recovery.
According to him, he did 100's of these surgeries. Given that vast majority (90+%?) of US males who went into Vietnam were already circumcised, if he and the other surgeons were doing that many, one would wonder if there were many who came back uncircumcised.
From his perspective, all of this trauma was completely avoidable by a childhood circumcision.
And, to your point, after the war, no GI is going to come home and tell stories about almost loosing their dick in Vietnam from infection. So, it just doesn't get talked about.
edit: for the retards: I'm very much anti circumcision. Plenty of people live in the jungle and don't have trouble with this. Just you had American GI's without any good hygiene training living in the jungle. Only the US military can screw up and not provide dick cleaning training in basic.
Losing.
So basically because they were in a situation where thwy couldn't clean their dick it was better if they had their pens mutilated as a baby, just in case they went to war one day. Got it.
If a man takes care of his penis than it won't get infected.
You are absolutely correct. Many people live just fine in the jungle. Only US military and US GIs can screw up as bad as they did. Not surprising they lost the war given they can't even keep their own dicks clean.
Did he offer to show you how beautiful his circumsized dick was? Did he ask you if you wanted to inspect it?
Lol.
Your dick is cut. You can't allow yourself to consider that perhaps it was unnecessary. Maybe you're religious? So you've internalized this crazy story of "jungle dick" and embarrassed soldiers to feel batter about what was done to you as a child.
You should change your username to "Jungle Dick". Please do it.
They were living in the goddamn JUNGLE
