There was nothing informal about the poll, it was an addendum to post 79 (which didn't include unattractive girl preferences) and common sense. But don't let that ruin your mood rhada, our bubble of self preservation is what gets a lot of us through the day. Somebodies girl be thinkin bout me.
So the Bible admits that Jesus' dad made a mistake. So much for perfection... Seriously, folks. Either Jesus' dad messed up the tool he gave us for procreation and the ultimate recreation, or... millions of years of evolution just overlooked that little flaw (again, of the object that dictates that the species continues).
Unbiased site does not equal knowledgeable site. Funny thing: there are NO sources on that webpage! SO basically you are willing to believe what he has to say, because it is on the internet. Try a pub med search: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19370585 I'm not going to copy the entire abstract, but heres the conclusion:
Off my memory, the practice originated from the Jews to prevent masturbation and popularized the world over because of Christianity. It's well supported by science. The foreskin has a lot of nerves and most of the pleasurable stimuli from sex are felt from the foreskin.
Homeostatic imbalances. Big deal. Why doesn't every person get an appendectomy at birth so they don't get appendicitis later?
Appendectomy is way too invasive and complicated for a new born. Who wants their baby being anesthetized and cut open to remove something that is preferable to be done at a later age IF the need arises? Circumcision all you need is a blade and cut off some foreskin.
I don't know why people even try to find HIV prevention statistics to justify circumcision. That is only a worthwhile justification if you live in sub-Saharan Africa. The U.S. has one of the higher prevalence rates for HIV out of all developed nations, yet is also the one with the highest percentage of circumsized males. Wear a jimmy hat and and be selective of your sexual partners and your chance of getting HIV drops to virtually zero.
Yeah I should have thought that through a little better to be honest. I would have had my son circumcised regardless. What I find kind of odd, is everyone who says "im snipped, but not my son, if he wants it done it's his choice later" Easy for you to say, why let him go through the pain when it's gonna hurt most? Whatever, I guess it shouldn't be that big a deal no matter someone elses decision.
I can tie knots and make balloon like animals with my foreskin... Having a foreskin comes in pretty handy and quite effective when you want to mop it up after your partner squirts and leaks like an oil spill in that movie, "There Will Be Blood"... "I drink your milkshake"....
As far as I know, there was no pain, a slight rubber band around the area and the skin fell off in a week. DD
