*Golf clap*

I think this is just the tip of the issue.

No big thing.

WOW you mean using condoms is more important than whether your foreskin is cut off?! Who's have thought?

everyone that wasn't retarded

I still need sleep.

That circumcision/AIDS study is also a thing of resplendent stupidity.

Any correlation between circumcision and a lower incidence of AIDS is because of the correlation between circumcision and doctors visits, better education, etc.

TFA: Circumcising men who already have HIV does not protect their female partners from the virus, a study in Uganda has found.

I could have told you this.

Dear Science Diary,

Apparently my "what better way to stem the tide of sexually transmitted diseases than introducing an open wound to the peen" theory has been shot out of the water.

I am aghast but resolved to move forworward. Tomorrow, we go to Plan B, which will involve teaching the natives to integrate needle sharing and chainsaw juggling into their foreplay.

The circumcision debate is literally the stupidest debate in the history of the human race.

Didja hear about the mohel who doesn't charge for the bris?

He only takes tips!

Ah, how I love the circumcision threads. People have such heated opinions and I love trying to figure out who is and isn't circumcised based on their opinions.

Being circumcised is awesome and I would recommend it to anyone. My little man don't need no hood.

Very funny headline subby!

You're right -- I don't care about female circumcision and neither should you. Stupid uppity women wanting sex to be pleasurable.

I don't see the issue, I doubt I would care either way.

I could not really care less what other people do with their kids but as a parent of 2 ( gonna be 3 in Jan) I would rather leave it up to the person with the penis. I left them uncircumcised, if they wanna do it they can but at least I gave them the option either way.

Wow.

You sound uncut.

The researchers suggest the higher transmission rate could have been due to couples resuming their sex lives before the circumcision would have properly healed.

Pain and awkwardness? Pain? Um.. what?!

Circumcision works because somewhere in the back of your brain there is a voice saying "be careful who touches your penis... remember last time..."

Someone needs to study up.

So some other dudes checked out your junk. If you are into that then that's a plus but if not then who cares?

That's why my boys both got their Prince Albert's before we took them home from the hospital.

That's why I had my childrens' ears removed at birth. If I had waited too long, it would be a traumatic experience, but it's okay if I do it before they're ambulatory.

Heh. I've got a British co-worker who loves to get on his high horse about this one. He says "it's genital mutilation and the child has no say in the matter. It should be illegal. Only people in the US and Israel get this done" blah blah blah.

I didn't argue much back. I just told him that my dick is pretty and his looks like it's used for frosting baked goods. The end.

What stupid women did they get to be a part of this study? They got 170 uninfected females!

"We want you to have unprotected sex with a HIV positive man. Some of the men in our study will be circumcised."

Someone thought that was a good idea? "It was found that a higher proportion of women were infected with HIV in the intervention group (18%) versus the control group (12%)."

There were 92 couples in the circumcision group and 67 in the control group were included in the final analysis. That means that 16 women in the group and 8 women in the control group were infected by participating in this study.

Circumcision doesn't prove any statistically significance advantage on anything. Yet, oddly enough, when discussing circumcision no one ever brings up the thousands that die, are permanently scarred, or end up with a severely mutilated penis.

Right. If the kid won't remember it, it isn't traumatic. I think that you'll have a lot of support for this theory among the Catholic priesthood.
