wondering why no one tells you about the scar going around your penis? I was thinking that I did something wong too it to have a ring arond the penis.

cityboy said:Yeah I used to wonder about that too when I was in Jr. High. Kids who saw it in gym showers made fun of me because it was kind of orange. I'm a very fair skin redhead... well, used to be anyway. Then when I found out it was because they cut part of my penis off without my knowledge and consent and for no good reason I've been pissed as hell ever since.

unhappilycut said:First, the STD argument is invalid. You should not rely on the unproven theory that circumcision=no STDs. The best way to prevent STDs isn't to get circumcised; it is to not engage in dangerous sexual behavior. This is entirely withing your control.
There are many simple ways to treat adults with non-retractable foreskins, such as stretching or steroid creams.
If circumcision prevents penile cancer, why does the US, which has one of the highest circ rates in the world (not counting Israel or Muslim countries), have a higher penile cancer rate than non-circumcising countries in Europe?
Please, tell me what these 'complications' are.

um, no. you're the one trying to prove something here; YOU post your shit where it's relevant or you can't complain when your "arguments" are dismissed.baseball99 said:ive posted them in other threads, run a search for them...
haha, sure. funny how smegma is considered an effect of the immune system in all those places where hospitals AREN'T raking in thousands of bucks a day from newborn circumcisionsthere are certain STDs that you are at higher risk for catching.....it has to do with the smegma, prevalence of WBCs under the foreskin, the likelihood of minor inflammation due to increased bacterial growth, etc......dont argue medicine with me, youll lose.
funny how every single case i've ever heard of first-hand has been successfully treated by conventional medicine without recourse to surgery. which ER were you working in, Hobgobla Khan's Community Hospital & Bargain House of Spare Auto Parts?yes there are many "alternative" ways to treat non-retractable foreskin but look up the success rates of these procedures.....theyre around 10% effective.
yeah, all 3 of them per year i'll take my chances, thanksYou ask why USA has higher rates of penile cancer, it also has to do with lifestyle factors such as smoking.....but if you take everyone with penile cancer, the vast majority are uncircumcised
