aren't most boy babies in America circumcised now? I thought it was a fairly regular procedure.

anyway - it makes sense that it would reduce risk

Yeah, they are. Still, the thought of it makes me uneasy. Most people don't remember being circumcised, though, so I guess that's a plus.

that's true.

I know two guys who have had it done as adults - and they were two hurting puppies for over a week.

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.

after four years of reading his tripe, I give up. He is obsessed, fanatical and pathological about it. Jefferson is the same way. I don't get it - I really don't. And, frankly, I'm tired of trying to figure it out. I just wish he's get the help from a good mental health professional which he so obviously needs.
