Why are some men so against circumcision?

some would like to compare it to female genital mutilation which isn't even comparable because in men the foreskin is only removed which yes does contain nerve endings but still you received pleasure and in woman the entire clit and parts of the labia are removed in which prevents pleasure since majority of women can't get off vaginally alone. there are some benefits to getting circumcised. 1. Some older men develop cancer of the penis (rare) but Infant circumcision gives almost 100% protection, and young adult circumcision also gives a large degree of protection. 2.Cancer of the cervix in women is due to the Human Papilloma Virus. It thrives under and on the foreskin from where it can be transmitted during intercourse. An article in the British Medical Journal in April 2002 suggested that at least 20% of cancer of the cervix would be avoided if all men were circumcised. 3.Urinary tract infections sometimes occur in babies and can be quite serious. Circumcision in infancy makes it 10 times less likely to occur. there are other benefits to circumcision but so many guys are against it?

  • because it has no benefit whatsoever. those benefits are lies.

    mutilation is still mutilation no matter who it is done to male or female!

    • there is a difference between skin getting removed and the clit and labia. circumcision isn't even in the same category as female mutilation

    • link the effect on the relationships between men and women. American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) " The statement takes a position of not recommending circumcision. Consistent with all previous AAP reports, no proven, actual benefits for circumcision are found." The report recognizes the extreme pain and trauma caused by circumcision as evidenced by large increases in heart rate, blood pressure, and stress hormone levels during circumcision.AAP...etc.

  • Your medical benefit claims are suspect at best.

    It's an unnecessary surgery, which is very painful to a baby.

    You want to take a scalpel to a baby without cause? That makes you a sick monster in my book.

    • ive taken these "claims" from an accrediated reviewed medical journal. I'm such medical claims are not suspect but if you feel that way than fine. also as I stated before I've helped out during circumcions. some babies feel it and some don't due to numbing. if you feel that I'm a monster than fine... I'm still going to be performing circumcisons as a doctor and for my sons as well

    • typos "im sure not I'm such" and "circumcisions"

  • I don't like the idea of getting part of my penis cut of. The evolution gave us foreskin for a reason. Don't know what it is but I trust it.

    School nurse asked me when I was a kid, if I wanted a circumcision because of my tight foreskin, but I didn't want it.
