Circumcision benefits and discussions

lonebadger6 said:Honestly, this has to be one of the most ridiculous, nonsensical, and downright pathetic lies ever to crawl across the internet... 🤣

And this comes from someone who spends their whole day telling everyone else how they should go out and do their own research... 🙏

And that’s supposedly to prevent penile cancer, which is one of the rarest types of cancer out there anyway... 😁

Either you're blind, playing dumb, or just plain thick, because clearly you aren't getting it. I gave you the source. If you think you're so smart, go ahead and actually educate yourself properly.

Penile cancer accounts for about 1% of all male malignancies and makes up roughly 2 to 5% of urogenital tumors. It hits certain groups harder, like African or Indian populations, where it can spike to 10 or 12% of male cancers. When you look at why this happens, it’s usually tied to poor hygiene, phimosis, or smegma buildup under the foreskin, along with the presence of HPV. Getting circumcised pretty much offers near-total protection against this specific type of penile disease. The most common histological form you'll see is squamous cell carcinoma.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penile_cancer, so go ahead and keep reading Wikipedia if you want...

Yeah, we already did, thanks.
On actual medical sites—you know, places with experts...
but the internet is absolutely crawling with fanaticism.

It’s a shame you chose this as your platform for spreading propaganda, because circumcision actually does offer some benefits. But if you think you can convince anyone by pushing these ridiculous stats, you're dreaming...

You can play the victim all you want, but penile cancer is still going to remain incredibly rare, and even when it does happen, three out of four people survive it...
The numbers are insane, so really, the only question is why you're being so blind and putting your faith in non-expert sources...

In my opinion, cranking up the font size and hitting everything with bold is basically just digital hysteria and totally flies in the face of decent web etiquette.

Especially when it has absolutely nothing to do with what we’re actually discussing.

Nobody here is debating whether circumcision prevents penile cancer, we're talking about how those numbers you pulled out of thin air are just completely insane...

Honestly, you're the only one being ridiculous here. It seems like your own perspective is so narrow that you can't even begin to consider an opposing view.
It's pretty clear who isn't looking at the big picture here...

My buddy Omar talked another friend of mine, Zoran, into getting circumcised. His reasoning? He claimed being circumcised would lead to longer sessions. Well, he actually went through with it. Now he’s claiming he can go for 20 minutes straight, take a quick break to grab a bite and a drink, and then get right back to business. 😂 It's the honest truth. 😂

If those numbers are "insane," then go ahead and tell these doctors and show them they've lost their minds... because I didn't just pull them out of thin air. This is the result of their own research. I even cited the source in my very first post, but who am I kidding? Who's actually listening?
Since we're already lecturing me on netiquette... seriously?!!!!

Fine, I'll go file a formal complaint with them...
Now that you've fulfilled your fanatical duty to the cause, feel free to head over to index.com and start the exact same thread...
You've truly enlightened us all...

Come on, what are you so afraid of? 👍 Even Omar convinced Rob to get circumcised, and he actually went through with it—then the idiot smeared denim on it. He spent the whole day blowing them with a hairdryer on the cold setting, yet they stayed red and irritated for days. :LOL :

'nuff said ☕

Why don't you go find some religious forum to spread those Islamic ideas on? Most people here are from the States, and frankly, your rhetoric isn't hitting the mark.
As for the research, finding contradictory data is easy. When you cite sources from organizations that actively promote circumcision for religious reasons, you lose all credibility. It’s like trying to argue that smoking isn't harmful by quoting studies funded by Big Tobacco. People have tried that trick countless times. It doesn't work.

Here is a neutral link regarding circumcision:
http://www.cirp.org/library/procedure/patel/
According to this, out of 100 babies who underwent the procedure, 35 dealt with phimosis and 31 faced infections. That means 62% of cases resulted in medical complications. On top of that, infants are often circumcised without any anesthesia. Just imagine someone skinning your finger while you're wide awake. I don't think you'd call that an "experience." Afterward, they frequently suffer from standard shock responses. Is that really what most parents want for their children? In my opinion, absolutely not.

Medically speaking, circumcising an adult is highly discouraged unless there is a legitimate issue with the foreskin. Why? Because it's uncomfortable, we're talking about a highly sensitive part of the body, and there are zero proven benefits to being circumcised.

Ultimately, the idea of hacking away at my own body just because I'm unsure if a specific part serves a purpose sounds ridiculous. If you don't understand how something works, you don't just cut it off. That's nonsense. 👎

Man, just let them be. Obviously, they’re doing it for hygiene reasons... they get circumcised so they don't have to worry about washing up for ten days straight... maybe you guys should come up with something for women too, since they aren't exactly low-maintenance either...

It's Omar here. After he talked Zoran into getting circumcised (LOL), he explained it like this: once you're circumcised, the exposed glans is constantly rubbing against your underwear (assuming you actually wear any, which he doesn't), so you basically become desensitized to friction. I guess that's why you can last longer than someone who isn't circumcised. The little guy just gets used to the constant chafing. 👍
Mind you, there is a downside: right after the procedure, before the kid has adjusted to the friction, you might find yourself getting chafed in your underwear initially. 😲
.. on my own. 😂

It’s been common knowledge since forever who actually washes up properly and how often they do it, versus those people who just wipe with paper and call it a day... no water involved, obviously.

Look, if I'm showering every single day anyway, then skipping the towel probably isn't a huge deal, I guess🙂...like just a water bottle sitting next to the toilet🙂
