Is it painful to wash wound after laser circumcision?
Yes it will be at first especially when you consider the abundance of erogenous nerves that are severed when the prepuce is amputated. There are well over 20.000 nerves that are dedicated to sexual pleasure in the foreskin so one needs little imagination what that mess must feel like before it is properly healed.
What does a circumcision tool look like?
There are varuous means by which the foreskin can be removed As this tipe of religious or cultural mutilation is caried out by both the most primitive and sophisticated society so in some situation like for example some Australian aboriginal cultures it is done wit a sharp stone. on the other end of the spectrum The baby is strapped into a plastic mold to stop it from wriggling then a tiny bell shaped device is forced under the fore skin forcing the skin to distend around the bottom of the bell the bell pressure with a sharp edge is then brought to bear on this edge until the skin has been amputated. See the related link below for the various devises used for circumcision.
I think the question was what does it look like ... bells and sharp stones, I am thinking of Santa and the American Indians making spears just for that task.
I think a photo would show this more.

How does circumcision effect the ego and health of the filipino?
It may be hard to differentiate between the men of different couture's and nationality's. However there does seem to be a common thread that runs through all of man kind where it relates to feelings on the effects the removal of body parts especially if it is for reasons other then dire necessity. here are some indications of the effects that might be felt.
Circumcision is Associated with Adult Difficulty in Identifying and Expressing FeelingsThis preliminary study investigates what role early trauma might have in alexithymia (difficulty in identifying and expressing feelings) acquisition for adults by controlling for male circumcision. Three hundred self-selected men were administered the Toronto Twenty-Item Alexithymia Scale checklist and a personal history questionnaire. The circumcised men had age-adjusted alexithymia scores 19.9 percent higher than the intact men; were 1.57 times more likely to have high alexithymia scores; were 2.30 times less likely to have low alexithymia scores; had higher prevalence of two of the three alexithymia factors (difficulty identifying feelings and difficulty describing feelings); and were 4.53 times more likely to use an erectile dysfunction drug. Alexithymia in this population of adult men is statistically significant for having experienced circumcision trauma and for erectile dysfunction drug use. (See link to article on our home page.) Bollinger, D. and Van Howe, R. , "Alexithymia and Circumcision Trauma: A Preliminary Investigation," International Journal of Men's Health (2011);184-195.Pain, Trauma, Sexual, and Psychological Effects of CircumcisionInfant male circumcision continues despite growing questions about its medical justification. As usually performed without analgesia or anaesthetic, circumcision is observably painful. It is likely that genital cutting has physical, sexual and psychological consequences, too. Some studies link involuntary male circumcision with a range of negative emotions and even post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Some circumcised men have described their current feelings in the language of violation, torture, mutilation and sexual assault. In view of the acute as well as long-term risks from circumcision and the legal liabilities that might arise, it is timely for health professionals and scientists to re-examine the evidence on this issue and participate in the debate about the advisability of this surgical procedure on unconsenting minors. Boyle G. et al., "Male Circumcision: Pain, Trauma and Psychosexual Sequelae," Journal of Health Psychology (2002): 329-343.Circumcision Affects Sexual BehaviorA study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that circumcision provided no significant prophylactic benefit and that circumcised men were more likely to engage in various sexual practices. Specifically, circumcised men were significantly more likely to masturbate and to participate in heterosexual oral sex than uncircumcised men. Laumann, E. et al., "Circumcision in the U.S.: Prevalence, Prophylactic Effects, and Sexual Practice," JAMA 277 (1997): 1052-1057.Poll of Circumcised Men Reveals HarmA poll of circumcised men published in the British Journal of Urology describes adverse outcomes on men's health and well-being. Findings showed wide-ranging physical, sexual, and psychological consequences. Some respondents reported prominent scarring and excessive skin loss. Sexual consequences included progressive loss of sensitivity and sexual dysfunction. Emotional distress followed the realization that they were missing a functioning part of their penis. Low-self esteem, resentment, avoidance of intimacy, and depression were also noted. Hammond, T., "A Preliminary Poll of Men Circumcised in Infancy or Childhood," BJU 83 (1999): suppl. 1: 85-92Psychological Effects of Circumcision StudiedAn article titled "The Psychological Impact of Circumcision" reports that circumcision results in behavioral changes in infants and long-term unrecognized psychological effects on men. The piece reviews the medical literature on infants' responses to circumcision and concludes, "there is strong evidence that circumcision is overwhelmingly painful and traumatic." The article notes that infants exhibit behavioral changes after circumcision, and some men have strong feelings of anger, shame, distrust, and grief about having been circumcised. In addition, circumcision has been shown to disrupt the mother-infant bond, and some mothers report significant distress after allowing their son to be circumcised. Psychological factors perpetuate circumcision. According to the author, "defending circumcision requires minimizing or dismissing the harm and producing overstated medical claims about protection from future harm. The ongoing denial requires the acceptance of false beliefs and misunderstanding of facts. These psychological factors affect professionals, members of religious groups, and parents involved in the practice."Expressions from circumcised men are generally lacking because most circumcised men do not understand what circumcision is, emotional repression keeps feelings from awareness, or men may be aware of these feelings but afraid of disclosure. Goldman, R., "The Psychological Impact of Circumcision," BJU 83 (1999): suppl. 1: 93-102
Serious Consequences of Circumcision Trauma in Adult Men Clinically ObservedUsing four case examples that are typical among his clients, a practicing psychiatrist presents clinical findings regarding the serious and sometimes disabling long-term somatic, emotional, and psychological consequences of infant circumcision in adult men. These consequences resemble complex post-traumatic stress disorder and emerge during psychotherapy focused on the resolution of perinatal and developmental trauma. Adult symptoms associated with circumcision trauma include shyness, anger, fear, powerlessness, distrust, low self-esteem, relationship difficulties, and sexual shame. Long-term psychotherapy dealing with early trauma resolution appears to be effective in healing these consequences. Rhinehart, J., "Neonatal Circumcision Revistited," Transactional Analysis Journal 29 (1999): 215-221Is it wise for you to get circumcised in order to satisfy your woman even more?
No it is not wise as circumcision will reduce the ability to satisfy a woman. there is no reason why any one should think that the removal of a very important part of the male anatomy would lead to more pleasure for a woman. the answer is on the contrary. the foreskin increases the woman's pleasure.
Male Circumcision Affects Female Sexual EnjoymentA survey of women who have had sexual experience with circumcised and anatomically complete partners showed that the anatomically complete penis was preferred over the circumcised penis. Without the foreskin to provide a movable sleeve of skin, intercourse with a circumcised penis resulted in female discomfort from increased friction, abrasion, and loss of natural secretions. Respondents overwhelmingly concurred that the mechanics of coitus were different for the two groups of men. Unaltered men tended to thrust more gently with shorter strokes. O'Hara, K. and O'Hara, J., "The Effect of Male Circumcision on the Sexual Enjoyment of the Female Partner," BJU 83 (1999): suppl. 1: 79-84How do you suck someone off if they don't have a foreskin?
Simply about the same as you would if the penis is intact. You don't have as much to work with as the foreskin which is in its own right a very sensitive part of the penis. and you will find that the glans will need to be worked on harder as it is just not as sensitive, Try concentrating on the area around the corona and the scar where the skin was cut of as they can be very sensitive as well. however if you try to be sensitive to his reaction to what you are doing while you have his penis in your mouth you will son learn what he likes. the trick is not in suction but in friction in the most sensitive areas.
Most circumcisions are done for religious or cultural reasons. Including right of passage into adulthood and elitism which brings us back to religious reasoning. However during the Victorian era secular circumcisions were started in English speaking countries at the behest of the British medical business on the ridiculous claim that masturbation was the cause of about a hundred different diseases ranging from Syphilis to insanity, and that circumcision would reduce boy's inclination to masturbate. People believed it and another profitable medical sideline was born, the practice has just about disappeared in Britain and the other ex colonies aside from the US where medical marketing is not giving it up without a fight.
What structures are removed during a TAH?
total abdominal hysterectomy (TAH), and supracervical abdominal hysterectomy (SAH). In a TAH, the uterus and the cervix are both removed. In a SAH, only the uterus is removed. Although your ovaries may be removed during a TAH or SAH, these procedures can easily be performed without removing your ovaries.
How is the maasai circumcision unsafe?
Circumcision has to be performed in a clean, sterile environment, with clean, sterile instruments. Without it, you run the risk of serious infection and even death.
When should circumcision not be done?
Circumcision should never be done, there are very few reasons for this to take place and in the case of infants it should definitely not take place as the prepuce is still connected to the glans penis and tearing them apart is both terribly painful and traumatising to the infant and causes permanent injury to the glans. Add to this the removal of a huge section of protective and erogenous material one should only come to the conclusion that circumcision is mutilation.
Circumcision should not be performed on infants with certain deformities of the penis that may require a portion of the foreskin for repair.
Usually a mohel, a person who's specially trained to perform the circumcision, but doctors, rabbis, and cantors can also be trained as mohels.
What does it mean when a guy never cums during sex?
Quite simply, his penis isn't stimulated enough to orgasm... For whatever reason. It could be for a physical reason (such as an adult circumcision leading to decreased sensitivity) or a psychological problem (such as a conservative upbringing and/or view on sex, etc). It is probably something that should be discussed with his doctor.
Does circumcision have ANY medical benefits?
Male circumcision, particularly when the foreskin is completely amputated, as in typical US medical style, completely exposes the glans -- that is, the head. Because the glans is designed to be an internal body part, such as the inside of the eyelids or cheek, it is meant to remain moist at all times. Through circumcision, the glans becomes calloused, hardened, and loses its natural sensitivity. In rare cases it has resulted in the loss of the glans or the penis itself through infection.
Stimulation of the glans is key to reaching orgasm, so the sexual impact of circumcision is that intercourse requires a more fervent and strenuous effort in order to achieve orgasm.
The worldwide estimate of males circumcised is 10-20%, and it is only rarely recommended for medical reasons. In some countries it is illegal.
Female circumcision, on the other hand, is almost universally outlawed. This entails a cutting away of either the clitorisor inner labia. In many cases no future sexual pleasure can be experienced, and in some cases the girl is unable to conceive. It is typically performed by non-medical people for cultural reasons, and it results in the ultimate oppression and sexual objectification of the young girls who fall victim to it.
Which birth sign in the zodiac would have the highest circumcision rate?
The sign born the most in the United States at least is Leo, Virgo and Libra (since most US births are within the months of August, September and October). So these would likely be the signs with the highest rate of circumcision.
Three months and it hasn't healed yet? That would be what I would be concerned about instead of an erection. There has to be a fair amount of discomfort with that. Until it is healed, I doubt you will get an erection. You have exposed a lot of sensitive skin to contact on top of the actual circumcision scar. The nerves are over stimulated and your penis is not interested in getting hard. Get your penis healed up and then try masturbating without stressing about it. I suspect you will get an erection without much trouble and without the Viagra. At 20 you don't need it and using it will cause your body to need it long before you really do.
As for the lack of healing, what does your doctor say. You did have a doctor do it I hope? Are you diabetic or have some other issue that may slow or interfer with the healing? Keep it clean, dry and wear loose fitting pants and boxers so that it gets some air circulation. Go see a doctor, ASAP before you loose more than some foreskin.
Why do people get circumcisions?
There is no medical reason for circumcision, and no major medical association recommends routine circumcision. Circumcision, like any surgery, has risks of adverse medical events including surgical error, severe pain, infection, and prolonged bleeding.
Some boys are circumcised for cultural or religious reasons. For example, circumcision is practiced by Jews and in some sects of Islam. Most other religions including Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism do not practice circumcision. While the vast majority of the world's men are uncircumcised, circumcision became a cultural practice in a few countries, for example the United States. Circumcision became popular in the late 19th century as a method to keep young boys from masturbating. Gradually, the practice of routine infant circumcision became widespread in the United States. However, circumcision rates have been declining in the United States for a number of reasons. Among them are that circumcision has no known medical benefit and that circumcision can decrease the sensitivity of the penis during sexual activity. Doctors no longer recommend routine infant circumcision, and as a result the rate of circumcision in the United States is falling. In the 1980s up to 80% of newborn males were circumcised. By 2007, less than 40% of newborn males were circumcised.

HaShem was going to kill Moshe because Moshe put off circumcising his sons, not because he wouldn't go to the Pharaoh. This is why Tzipporah circumcised her sons when she did.
Should an adult with type 2 diabetes and cracking of the foreskin get circumcised?
you would probably be better of getting a steroid creme and loosening it so it does not crack.
If you visit a doctor who says no to circumcision would a Jewish doctor or Muslim doctor say yes?
No. Circumcision is not a recommended medical practice since it has no known medical benefits and has a number of significant medical risks including prolonged bleeding, infection, severe pain, and surgical error that can result in damage to the penis. For these reasons most physicians, including Jewish and Muslim physicians, recommend against circumcision. Furthermore, no major medical association recommends routine circumcision.
Circumcision can have long lasting consequences. Circumcision removes a normal part of the penis that functions to protect the glans of the penis. Removal of the foreskin can cause decreased sensitivity of the penis and decreased pleasure during sexual intercourse.
In the United States, circumcision is far less common now than it once was. During the 1970s and 1980, around 80% of male infants were circumcised in the United States. A study conducted in the United States from 2005-2007 found that circumcision rates had fallen to below 40% in most of the United States. In the western United States, fewer than 25% of infant males were circumcised in 2005-2007.
Answer:
The origin of Jewish circumcision is in the Torah. God told Abraham "every male among you shall be circumcised" (Gen. 17) as part of the covenant between God and the Jewish people.
Since that time, virtually all Jews have observed the command of circumcision (Genesis ch.17) for close to four millennia, even in times of religious persecution under the Greeks, Romans, Spaniards, Soviets and others. Circumcision is the indelible sign of God's covenant with Abraham and is just as important as Yom Kippur in terms of the stringency which the Torah places upon it. And similar to Yom Kippur, it is one of the observances which are common to Orthodox, Conservative and Reform Jews alike.
While we do not keep God's commands because of physical benefits, it is still interesting to note that:
Circumcision has been known to offer virtually complete protection from penile cancer. According to a recent review article in the New England Journal of Medicine, none of the over 1,600 persons studied with this cancer had been circumcised in infancy. In the words of researchers Cochen and McCurdy, the incidence of penile cancer in the U.S. is "essentially zero" among circumcised men.
Also, research at Johns Hopkins University Medical School in Baltimore have shown that circumcised men are six to eight times less likely to become infected with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. Researchers believe that protection is due to the removal of the foreskin, which contains cells that have HIV receptors which scientists suspect are the primary entry point for the HIV virus. (Reuters, March 25, 2004)
Several studies reported that circumcised boys were between 10-to-39 times less likely to develop urinary tract infections during infancy than uncircumcised boys. In addition, circumcision protects against bacterial, fungal, and parasitic infections and a variety of other conditions related to hygiene. The extremely low rate of cervical cancer in Jewish women (9-to-22 times less than among non-Jewish women) is thought to be related to the practice of circumcision.
As a result of studies like these, a number of prestigious medical organizations such as the California Medical Association have recognized the benefits of circumcision.
As an operation, circumcision has an extremely small complication rate. A study in the New England Journal of Medicine (1990) reported a complication rate of 0.19 percent when circumcision is performed by a physician. When performed by a trained mohel, the rate falls to 0.13 percent or about 1 in 800. When a complication occurs, it is usually due to the bleeding, which is easily correctable. No other surgical procedure can boast such figures for complication-free operations.
One reason why there are so few complications involving bleeding may be that the major clotting agents, prothrombin and vitamin K, do not reach peak levels in the blood until the eighth day of life. Prothrombin levels are normal at birth, drop to very low levels in the next few days, and return to normal at the end of the first week. One study showed that by the eighth day, prothrombin levels reach 110 percent of normal. In the words of Dr. Armand J. Quick, author of several works on the control of bleeding, "It hardly seems accidental that the rite of circumcision was postponed until the eighth day by the Mosaic law."
There is a way to advertise without expense as far as actual money goes, however most methods do accumulate a lot of your time. With time being money, the real answer is up to you.
1.) One free way to advertise is via the Internet. There are a multitude of article websites that allow free submission online for authors. In these articles they allow authors to post URL links and/or business contact information in the bottom resource area of an article. To become an author you basically just need to sign up on their registration pages and submit a few 500 word articles. These articles also get posted on other web masters sites and have the potential to go viral along with your business.
2.) Press releases. This is another effective free advertising method if done properly. Be forewarned that your press release may not get the greatest exposure without paying for distribution or inclusion, but you can help get the word out none the less. There are sites online that allow electronic submission of your press release. You will want to study up on the proper press release format as well as read up on emailing releases directly to your local news editors.
3.) Flyer posting. This is a free advertising method only if you already have the paper and printer. You can use Microsoft Publisher or Word to create pull tab fliers to post around your town and bulletin boards offering your services or products. Be warned that each property owner has rights to what can be posted and can be against the law in certain areas.
4.) Business cards can be free if you have a printer and some card paper in hand. Design a nice business card for your company stating services and products and hand them out at social functions. You can even sometimes leave a stack of cards at a reception desk at some establishments.
5.) If you own a website you can get free advertising by joining an online banner exchange. These exchanges allow you to place banner code into your web pages and in return show your banner add on other participating network sites. Research the best exchange ratio and distribution before committing to the task of adding code however. You want to get the most for your efforts and not all free banner exchange sites are equal.
Esmie-esmie-: huh? :P
Most likely, as it is no longer a religious or even a Jewish thing, as circumcision is a health thing, as circumcising has proven to be a healthy practice.
