@psandbergnz : I never said circ prevents getting STDs. I said it reduces the chances. There is a huge difference between prevention and reduction.

@slauertura77, circumcision does NOT protect from STDs!

Researchers Nigel Dickson et al. published their investigation of STDs/ Circumcision in J. of Pediatrics, March 2008 (see online!)

They found NO circumcision benefit for either bacterial or viral STDs! The study concludes:

"Our findings agree with other similar recent medical studies from developed countries... it appears unlikely that circumcision protects against common STDs".

Cicumcision removes countless sensory nerves.

@mzorzor : BTW you do understand "surveys" are not clinical studies, right? I could go to a KKK meeting and take a survey to see how many people there hate Afro-Americans. Then make the assumption that all white people hate black people base on that survey. Which would not be true. Survey info is biased, because surveys are based on opinion, so that survey info is garbage.

@mzorzor : 1) You're an "F" ing Moron if you think being cut means not having to practice safe sex. 2) The scientific stat I found on a medical site, that is backed up by clinical trials mentions nothing about African countries and third world nations. 3) Until you show me where I can find the info you speak of, what you say is conjecture and means nothing.

DUH!

"if my boy decides not to practice safe sex, it's nice to know I gave him a better chance of not getting an STD."

You also gave him an excuse not to practice safe sex... Again, surveys in first world indicate little to no correlation between STDs and circumcision ( which is why it's abandonned in Canada/Australia/NZ imo), so most likely you only gave him an excuse, not an actual protection

@slauertura77

In Europe physicians don't even "inform" parents of anything, because it's obviously a cultural practice and nothing more.

Regarding HIV, those studies were flawed and conducted in countries that lack running water. Let's talk about USA and developped world in general, if cut men had half the HIV rate of uncut ones, don't you think we would hear about that, and not about trials conducted in Africa?

@mzorzor Okay,I see.Please forgive me,my bad.I think tho the increase of STD,s is actually due to a lesser concern for morality.Parents should really take more concern for thier childs upbringing and the type of degenerate life they will be exposed to.Im a firm believer in raising children in church and seeing that they hear the truth of Gods word.

@mzorzor : That is straight off webmd.net. I believe practicing safe sex is a mans best bet. But if my boy decides not to practice safe sex, it's nice to know I gave him a better chance of not getting an STD.

@mzorzor : Regarding newborn circumcision, most physicians today agree with the practice of informing parents of the risks and benefits of the procedure in an unbiased manner. Recently, however, several large studies revealed a 60% decrease in HIV transmission in circumcised males compared to uncircumcised males. This may ultimately influence some changes in recommendations in the near future.
