Circumcision

Circumcised means that the man has had his foreskin removed. In Jewish males this normally happens about a week after birth, cicumcision can be carried out at any time though. There are instances where females can be circumcised but I don't know how that works!

If you have ever heard a baby scream in agony as his foreskin is being first of all torn from the glans to which it is attached at birth and the cut of it would hardly convince you that the poor thing has become a man all of a sudden. that is not to mention the crying that takes place every time they urinate or defecate on the raw wound of their mutilated penis before it heals properly.

Not in America but in some countries yes

No as a matter of fact it makes him somewhat less of a man. the foreskin plays an important part in both the maintenance of the glans of the penis and in sexual pleasure for both himself and his pardner.

Circumcision is a religious and cultural rite and is used as a symbol that sets the victim apart from the rest. In some cases it symbolises the transition from boyhood into manhood. in others like parts of the Muslim religion it is supposed to symbolise a fealty to Mohammad, even though there is no evidence that Mohammad himself was circumcised. the Jews do it because there is reference to a command by their god in their old testament. English speaking country's were originally convinced by mid 19th century British medics that circumcision would stop boys from masturbating which they claimed was responsible for any number of diseases ranging from syphilis to insanity. The British themselves and the majority of their ex colony's have since come around to not believing this nonsense any more However no doubt because of the large marked that was created by this practice in America the custom is still quite strong, though weakening.

No .normally circumcision is the removal of healthy tissue from the penis and as such is not a necessary procedure, on the contrary it is harmful. However if it is a medical necessity then chances are it would be covered.

Light, simple food

I doubt if that sort of barbarity is allowed there. They also stoped foot binding which is anopther cultural absurdity.You would probably have to go to another country like in the case of female genital mutilation.

In the Fall 2009 records 48.7% of students declared themselves as female, 50.9% of students declared themselves as male, and 0.4% declined to state.

Yes.

Holland (a nickname usually given to the Netherlands) is close to sea level. In fact, a significant part of it is BELOW sea level.

Learn to live with it it will ease of in time . Use a personal lubricant on it to make masturbation and sex smoother.

No it is probably better as the foreskin protect the glans therefore the part of the glans still protected by the foreskin will be more sensitive

You can average it out at about $350.00 however as sometime infant die as a result if the procedure and wit extra risks and complicatios it depends largely on how thing pan out after the mutilation is done.

Male circumcision is a requirement of Judaism as a physical recognition of the covenant between Jews and HaShem. Circumcision is specified as a requirement in the Torah:

Vayikra (Leviticus) 12:3

"And on the eighth day, the flesh of his foreskin shall be circumcised."

Bereishit (Genisis) 17:9-14

"And HaShem said to Abraham, "And you shall keep My covenant, you and your seed after you throughout their generations. This is My covenant, which you shall observe between Me and between you and between your seed after you, that every male among you be circumcised. And you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be as the sign of a covenant between Me and between you. And at the age of eight days, every male shall be circumcised to you throughout your generations, one that is born in the house, or one that is purchased with money, from any foreigner, who is not of your seed. Those born in the house and those purchased for money shall be circumcised, and My covenant shall be in your flesh as an everlasting covenant. And an uncircumcised male, who will not circumcise the flesh of his foreskin-that soul will be cut off from its people; he has broken My covenant."

Jews have been debating this issue for years. Nelly Karsenty writes in her article "A Mother Questions Brit Milla" that she was stunned to realize that questioning this ritual is the ultimate taboo among American Jews. In Europe, she says, many Jews reject circumcision as an archaic and barbaric ritual. She speculates as to why American Jews seem to accept it so readily.

Perhaps, she writes, it is because "circumcision is seen as a symbolic loyalty oath stating that one belongs to the Jewish tribe. It is easier to do so by circumcising one's son than by demanding of oneself to pray three times a day or to observe the dietary laws or the Shabbat each week."

In Europe, she says, Jews have divergent approaches to this issue just as they do with other aspects of Judaism. Or maybe, she writes, it is because brit milla (circumcision) is one of the major ways in which Judaism differs from Christianity. Therefore many Jews feel that rejecting circumcision implies an embracing of Christianity.

As I stated earlier, many Jews are simply ignorant of the realities of circumcision. They still believe the inaccurate studies concerning cleanliness and disease. And of course, some believe that circumcision has been mandated by God. There are even those like Dr. Henry Romberg who insist upon traditional methods such as the use of fingernails as cutting instruments and the taking of the bleeding penis into the mouth to suck the blood.

It's not bad as long as you clean the head of the penis regularly and properly by pulling back the foreskin and cleaning around and under the edge of the "helmet." Also, there is a theory that sex is more enjoyable for uncircumcised men because the head of the penis doesn't become desensitized by being exposed all the time like circumcised penises that are constantly rubbing against boxers.

By your local Doctor or there is some traditional people who can dot it also the Jodi's people can do it for you.

No they are not and these days more and more Jews are under the impression that this as a harmful procedure. If you would like to see more information on some the jews that dont believe in circumcision go to the Related link below

There is some interesting thought on the mental effect that may be caused by the painful trauma and other processes as a result of circumcision, Go to the related link below( Circumcision information) for more information on this subject

First and foremost. now that the thing has been done you have to keep in mind that the experience of the pain that the child is going through requires that you try to give it as much love and attention as you can. as at this stage the infant will find it difficult to go through the normal bonding process that takes place between mother and child. Take extra care when possible that the wound does not stay immersed in urine or feces for any longer then is absolutely necessary. both these materials generate extreme pain for the poor child . Go to the related link below (

Don't get them circumcised in the first place? It's a needless operation that removes a large number of erogenous nerves from the penis.

There are no common medical reasons for circumcision. It used to be that phimosis was the reason given in the US However phimosis is a natural state of afair and clears itself as the child ages, If the foreskin remains too tight for too long this can be easily elevated with cremes and stretching exercises. the need for circumcision is a very rare occurrence. as rare as the need to remove a finger.

They should, since it will better protect the bandaged penis.

No. it is very unlikely that any popeshave been circumcised. Circumcision was a part of the jewish culture in the 1st century Rome, and it has never been a common practice in Europe. The vast majority of popes in the last 1000 years have been from Italy, and circumcision is very uncommon in Italy.

As a mater of fact in the new testament a particular mention is made that Christians need not be circumcised. accepting Christ as the saviour it is said is circumcision of the heart and that is good enough. In the mean time what sane person would cut of their foreskin?

Yes.

During the Victorian era circumcision was introduced to all the country's that had roots in Britain, IE the English speaking country's. The British medical fraternity had somehow worked out that masturbation was the cause of more then 100 different diseases ranging from syphilis to insanity. Country's with close association with the British in culture and education jumped on board and fell for it hook line and sinker Australia , Canada, New Zea land and the USA started busying themselves mutilating their infants in the name of better health. within a few years a huge market was created in circumcision and related medical procedures. the reasoning behind circumcision continuing in the USA while it is by now rapidly disappearing in the other ex colony's is another interesting story.

Yes it is very difficult to stop the pain if you are not put right under and even if you are the pain will be pretty bad when you come out of it. after all more then 20.000 touch sensitive erogenous nerves are being sliced away and left stitched together in a scar surrounding your penis.
