Circumcision

You cut it of. the same as you would remove an arm permanently. Either way unless you are treating a medical condition that can only be treated through amputation it is a stupid idea. there is no medical necessity in the removal of the foreskin.

Circumcision with general anesthesia should cost between $2000 and $3000 depending on where you live. This cost includes the doctor performing the procedure and the anesthesiologist.

As circumcision is not a medically necessary procedure, it will not be covered by most health insurance plans so you will have to pay for the full cost yourself.

Circumcision has no known medical benefit, and routine circumcision is not recommended by any major medical association. Most doctors recommend against circumcision because of the possible adverse events following the surgery, including prolonged bleeding, infection, moderate to severe pain, and long term decrease in penile sensitivity and sexual pleasure.

Infants with certain deformities, or with a large hydrocele, or hernia, premature infants or with serious infections, with hemophilia, other bleeding disorders, or whose mothers had taken anticoagulants.

No, the frenulum has a lower chance of being torn if it is left intact after a circumcision if you think it can be torn regardless. The frenulum is the most erogenous zone of the male body, the removal of it is an abomination. If you remove the frenulum, you destroy the male's ability to have the amount of pleasure he would normally have.

Circumcision should be done only a as LAST RESORT. Circumcision in general reduces sensitivity and removes perfectly healthy tissue. If a male has phimosis, then other methods may be used, circumsision is not necessary. It violates human rights and mutilates the penis. It's just a no brainier: if you are pro-unnecessary circumcision, you are a psychopath.

NO! Abraham was circumcised at age 99, so even if you're 100, you can still get it done. Many emigrants of the former Soviet Union get circumcised at all ages since the Soviet atheism was repealed.

No, its not a practice of Muslims. However the vast majority of victims of this practice, Female Genital mutilation are members of the Muslim religion who by the way also genitally mutilate their boys.

No. Except for the Jewish ones...

Circumcision is the surgical removal or amputation of the prepuce or foreskin from over the head of the penis. The prepuce or foreskin is a retractable layer of highly enervated flexible skin that has a fine layer of mucosal membrane on the inside designed to protect the penis glans and also enhance the pleasure of sex and masturbation. this organ is the male counterpart of the labia and the mucosal tissue found in the woman. Reasoning behind it being done has always been religious or cultural aside from it being taken up in English speaking country's under the mistaken belief that it would stop boys from masturbating which in turn would cause more then a hundred different diseases. There are no appreciable health benefits from this procedure.

NO!!! In the US, the procedure is done mainly for customary or religious reasons. Very few actually has real medical reasons to have it done.

It is good to leave the genitalia intact. 80% of the men of the world are intact and would no more think of having their genital mutilated then having any other part of their body cut of. the the iner mucous membrane of the foreskin protects the glans penis from becoming desensitised by constant friction on underwear, it maintains the the moisture and texture of the mucous membrane that covers the glans itself. it protects the penis against infection , especially in the times when children are not yet toilet trained, it has within it more then 20,000 nerves that play an important roll in sexual pleasure in both intercourse and in masturbation. it play a part in improving the sexual pleasure of the woman during sex. It prevents problems with the lubrication required between male and female sexual union. not to mention the fact that people that are circumcised have a myriad of possibility's of penile dysfunction that would not ever have happened if it had been left alone.

If you ask a urologist to do this procedure of circumcision, they will only do it for the following reasons. Since it cannot be done for any other reasons than the following, then these are the only reasons why this procedure should be done. They can do a circumcision if it is oriented upon religious belief. The other reason is for complications from foreskin abnormalities such as a foreskin which cannot be retracted. Your personal preference cannot be a reason, especially reasons pertinent to sexual life or love life. They will otherwise only do it if it can be a cure to a problem with the foreskin like cancer or removal of infections do to a sexually transmitted desease.

Circumcision does not prevent penile cancer. Cancer still occurs in circumcised men, and in the United States most men with penile cancer are circumcised. However, circumcision might offer a very slight reduction of risk of penile cancer because it removes part of the penis, the foreskin. This slightly reduces the risk because part of the penis, the foreskin, is surgically removed, and since part of the penis is removed, it can't get cancer. There are very good reasons to keep the foreskin though. The foreskin is rich in nerve endings, that provide pleasure during sex, and the foreskin also protects the delicate head of the penis, keeping it moist and sensitive.

Sikh Boys Are Not Circumcised!!!

very true, Sikh boys are not circumcised because Sikhs believe in living life the way God made them. No changes, that's why they don't cut their hair and wear turbans, God gave them hair and it was a blessing so the men use the turbans to just keep it under control. God had made men with an uncut penis and they believe who are we to change what he created so they leave as uncut

Circumcision is the removal of the foreskin of the penis. The foreskin is a flap of skin that normally covers the glans (head) of the penis.

Christians don't have any obligation to their religion to mutilate their genitalia through circumcision. It was decided that accepting Christ as their savior and that the sacrifice of Christ added up to circumcision of the heart.

Circumcision has no effect on the fertility of the man, or in his ability to impregnate a woman.

It can however lead to many penile problems that make the act of sexual intercourse less pleasant and more difficult. reduced sensitivity for example can lead to an inability to reach orgasm which in turn will effect the ability to impregnate as there is nothing being ejaculated to impregnate with. this problem becomes more pronounced as circumcised men age and the glans become more insensitive and hardened.

Jesus mentioned circumcision once, to illustrate a point, when talking with the Jews at : John 7:19-24

It was part of life as a Jew, in keeping with the Mosaic Law given to the nation of Israel through Moses, to separate them from the nations.(Leviticus 12:3) Jesus had been circumcised himself, when he was 8 days old, as was the requirement for every faithful Jewish male.(Luke 2:21)(Galatians 4:4)(Genesis 17:10-12)

The requirement for circumcision did not end until after Jesus' death, when he'd perfectly fulfilled the Mosaic Law, and so, ENDED it. (Colossians 3:11; Galatians 3:28) (Colossians 2:13&14)

Circumcision has no known medical benefits, and no major medical association recommends routine infant circumcision. Circumcision can have long lasting consequences. Circumcision removes the foreskin, 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. This is yet another reason why circumcision is becoming increasingly uncommon. Circumcision also caries with it serious risks of adverse outcomes including prolonged bleeding, infection, severe pain, and surgical error that can result in damage to the penis. For these reasons most physicians recommend against circumcision. For more information on the functions of the foreskin, see: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_are_the_functions_of_the_foreskin

I am having a baby boy in the next few weeks, so i called the hospital, St. Joes and they told me it would be $82.50 for the procedure and $100 for the doctor, so in total it costs at least at St. Josephs in Tucson, AZ $182.50. without insurance.

No Most black males are not circumcised. Worldwide only about 20% of men are circumcised most of these are Muslims and a proportion are Jews there are also small pockets through out other parts of the world where MGM is still practiced. A very small proportion of those that are feel they are doing it for health or cosmetic reasons.

Circumcision is regarded by many to be an unethical procedure that removes parts of a child's genitals without his or her consent. Circumcision of females was once common in Africa and circumcision of males remains common the parts of the United States.

On the other hand, it is easier to keep the penis clean when it is circumcised.

On the other hand , an amputated hans is also easier to keep clean.

Both male and female circumsision are stil common especialy in the midle east. this procedure has no heath associated benefit. It is in fact no more then aviolatoin of human rights as it is done to children. It can unly be seen as a sexual perversion.

Paul was the first Christian to say that Christians may keep their foreskins. 85% of the world is uncircumcised, ie., they have their complete foreskin as they were when they were born. Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains, are forbidden to circumcise as it violates the body. Mormons, Christian Scientists, and the Amish are also forbidden to circumcise or be circumcised. There are even many Jews and Muslims that are uncircumcised, especially in the developed world.

As Paul was a Jew who followed the law, he was circumcised, I am sure.

Yes the alternative to male circumcision is auto-circumcision, whereby training the foreskin to stay in a retracted position. Many males do this.

Note rarely some males are born without the appearance of having foreskin though it really is a very short foreskin. Some called this circumcised by an Angel:

It depends on religious beliefs and personal health and hygiene. The reason circumcisions are done are religious and cultural. The medical reasons for circumcision are extremely rare. never the less many people especially in the USA have been duped by an unscrupulous part of the medical industry into doing this to their children. less then 20% of the wolds men are circumcised.
