rememberseptember9112001	The Pros and Cons On the plus side, studies indicate that circumcised infants are less likely to contract a urinary Tract infection (UTI) in the first year of life. About one out of every 1,000 circumcised boys has a UTI in the first year, whereas the rate is one in 100 (at most) for uncircumcised infants. Circumcised men may also be at lower risk for penile cancer, although the disease is rare in both circumcised and uncircumcised males. Although some studies indicate that the procedure might offer an additional line of defense against sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), particularly HIV, the results of studies in this area are conflicting and difficult to interpret. It's also easier to keep a circumcised penis clean, although uncircumcised boys can learn how to clean beneath the foreskin once the foreskin becomes retractable (usually some time before age 5). However, some uncircumcised boys can end up with infected foreskins as the result of poor hygiene. Some people also claim that circumcision either lessens or heightens the sensitivity of the tip of the penis, decreasing or increasing sexual pleasure later in life. But neither of these subjective findings has been proven to be true. Although circumcision appears to have some medical benefits, it also carries potential risks - as does any surgical procedure. These risks are small, but you should be aware of both the possible advantages and the problems that can be associated with the procedure before you make your decision. Complications of newborn circumcision are uncommon, occurring in between 0.2% to 3% of cases. Of these, the most frequent are minor bleeding and local infection, both of which can be easily treated by your child's doctor. Perhaps one of the hardest parts of the decision to circumcise is accepting that the procedure can be painful. In the past, it wasn't commonplace to provide pain relief for babies being circumcised, but because studies have indicated that it benefits the infant to receive anesthesia, most doctors will now provide it. Also, the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends the use of pain relief measures for circumcision. Even up until recently, though, anesthesia hasn't been universally used, so it's important to ask your doctor ahead of time what, if any, pain relief will be utilized with your son. Two primary forms of local anesthetic are used to make the operation less painful for your baby: a topical cream (a cream put on the penis) that requires at least 20 to 40 minutes to take its full effect an injectable anesthetic that requires less time to take effect and may provide a slightly longer period of anesthesia Besides anesthesia, giving a pacifier dipped in sugar water can help reduce your baby's level of stress (and yours). Used together, these methods can decrease your baby's discomfort by more than 50%. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Evilest_Wendy	To protect the sensitivity of the head of the penis. It's a beautiful thing. God and nature put it there for a reason. The foreskin - What it does The foreskin performs several important functions. Most of these functions center on making sex more enjoyable, not only for just one, but for both partners. Protection Makes sex feel better Lubricates during intercourse Lubricates during masturbation Reduces the drop insensitivity through age Allows the erection to grow Increases sensitivity slowing intercourse And cutting if off and mutilating a baby boy is sick. When a boy is old enough to make that decision. then that's fine. We as parents should do no harm. And cutting off part of a boy's sexual organ is harm. Get educated before making a statement that it should just be cut off when they are born. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Tamborine	It protects the penis and keeps it moist which is the way nature intended it to be. While circumcision is socially acceptable in today's society, there are people who believe that it is as cruel and barbaric as female circumcision. If you do a web search on male circumcision you'll find a lot of articles about it. It's one of those issues (like abortion) that draws strong opinions from both sides so whatever articles you read - it will have a bias to it. I did find an article and put a link below for more information but it's one of those sites that is very anti-circumcision. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

infogiver	Some scientists believe that the foreskin in supposed to have protective and erogenous functions in males but this is higly debatable. Tests have shown that the foreskin's "gliding action" has no function in sexual intercourse whatsoever. After all this is why many men remove their foreskin. Plus it is thought that by removing it, men get rid of the bacteria that may accumulate under it when the penis is flaccid. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

hajgora7	I'm thinking it developed to protect the glans and the penis in general. Primitive man, before he wore clothes, needed something to cover the penis. Even furs and loincloth would chafe the glans were it not for the foreskin. This is my best guess. I've has zipper chafe from wearing jeans without underwear, so I'm thinking that the foreskin is just added protection. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Plus you think just cuz it's getting shot down your gullet that you are somehow still a virgin.....So he pulls it out and you think it looks like someone is keeping their chewing gum stored on the tip.....After hours of trying to fumble with it and keep this darn thing out of the way you are completely turned off by this point.

Terry	The foreskin in the adult male measures around 10 square inches of highly sensitive skin. This is covered in nerve endings that add to the pleasure of sexual intercourse. The foreskin also protects the glans (head) of the penis. When exposed (after circumcision) the glans develops a protective layer of keratin that reduces sensation. The foreskin is designed both for protection of the glans and for stimulation during sex. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
