I find this incredibly strange, but useful. Still...ouch.
I have heard there are arguments for both sides on this. Claims that circumcision reduces, and increases HIV risk.

I haven't taken a good look at the issue to really come to a personal conclusion, but it always sounded like the circumcision reduces risk side had more firm arguments...

I haven't known anybody who has done this, but I understand it does lay a guy out for a while.
Makes one wonder about what an infant that experiences circumcision goes through.
