RE: Elephant in the Room: Female Genital Mutilation is bad, so why is Male Circumcision OK?

in #life8 years ago

Well, have not studied this topic much, but what little I have heard is that men who have been circumcised tend to be healthier, while men who have not been circumcised are not as healthy. But as @tommycordero said I'm not sure if what I have heard is just BS from the cults who protect this practice.

Sort:  

There is strong cultural bias even in the medical community on this. I know this from personal experience. Further even if it has benefits it is a surgical procedure - there are risks of damage to the penis not to mention the loss of sexual sensitivity.

I bet, I just never thought of it having only heard the positives about the issue. Makes me want to look into the issue now to see what I can find. Thank you cause the article is making me rethink what I have been told.

Thanks. It is a strange issue. It just doesn't get discussed much so we only really hear one side of it.
