But serious, I was led to believe that there were no medical benefits to getting a circumcision.

SkepticTank · 04-21-2016, 03:11 PM

I think there are conflicting studies.

BenTheBiased · 04-21-2016, 03:47 PM

Which suggests to me that it really doesn't matter. People have been getting along just fine with and without foreskins for a very long time. It's one of those things some people get really worked up about for no good reason at all.

I think there are conflicting studies.

my impression was that in the 60s and 70s, the prevailing opinion in the medical community in the US was that it was beneficial or even necessary, but that, as it was studied more through the 80s and 90s, they moved toward the conclusion that its effects were mixed and overall something close to neutral. and given that the effects are roughly neutral, I think that shifts the ethical argument decisively against cutting off pieces of babies' genitals.

At the same time there's been recent studies that fail to find a difference in sensitivity, so the anti-circ people are also idiots.

Circumcision only bathrooms!!!!

mine got caught in my zipper when i was a kid so i'm neutral on this, but i often wonder how the practice started. Teeth, what's the deal here?

madmardigan · 04-21-2016, 11:00 PM

I have a 9 inch cock. Unfortunately 6 inches of it is foreskin.

It's Old testament. Probably Leviticus or Deuteronomy. On my phone can't be fucked to look it up.

Genesis, iirc. Abraham had to do it as an adult.

Didn't God say "Kill your first born, pysch, just cut the end of this dick off"?

Bobbitscision is a more interesting topic.

I'm thinking the misspelled title is intentional.

Definitely made it take longer than it otherwise would have for me to figure out what the hell the article was actually talking about.

It's also Leviticus 12:3.

Based on my google skimming after a friend posted this on FB, the health benefits are mainly with preventing STDs and UTIs. But it's fairly marginal and UTIs can be treated easily and STDs aren't really a big thing with kids (at least where the foreskin would come into play).

eta Also I'm thinking a little lesson in washing your junk might tend to erase those numbers a bit.

Apparently it does materially reduce the risk of HIV transmission, which is significant in e.g. Africa where access to and use of condoms can be problematic

It's not misspelled. Inactivism seems to be a movement to not circumcise. Unfortunately this has just turned into the standard pros and cons argument.

Um no.

Your title is missing a t.

Inactivism is when you wear one of them rubber bracelet thingies to pretend you are helping cancer sufferers.

Yall. The correct word fer movement to end circumcisions is called the "intactivist" movement, and pro-foreskin folks are "intactivists." 'cause they're activists... on havin an intact foreskin.

Inactivism is when ya dont do nothin about nothin, ya just sit there, inactive. Intactivisism is when ya attach bricks to yer dicks to stretch the skin out so ya can regrow a foreskin down there, if yers got chopped.
