There is no evidence that circumcision cuts down on infections. If that were REALLY TRUE then adults could choose to have the operation as Adults! Not as new born babies. The infection myth is an American myth designed to promote and propagate male genital mutilation AKA Male circumcision. No country in the civilised world imposes this barbarism on babies. None! The sooner America joins the fold the better. There is no reason to think that circumcision leads to less infections; it's a medical myth promoted by the American Doctors and Surgeons to make money.

I.suggest we leave the operation until boys are 18 years old. Then let them decide.

 

My bil recently was circumcised at 44. He was having problems with infection.

 

You raise an interesting point, but it's not the same.

 

Removing a bit of skin is not the same as removing the entire penis. It certainly has no correlation/ relation to a young girl receiving a double mastectomy!

 

The idiom cutting off your nose to spite your face comes quickly to mind - but that is not entirely apt

 

Removing a bit of skin in order to prevent recurring infection is a corrective measure with proven outcome. I realize you dispute this (to cause problems). The question is whether it really helps - what it does not do is cause greater possiblity of infection.

 

Yet, all this misses the point entirely.

 

The purpose of removing the penis is so the boy effectively becomes a woman. The boy will NEVER be a woman. He will grow up and grow old as a man -without a penis. Therefore, the outcome cannot reach the stated objective.

 

Moreover, it is beyond argument that minors are treated differently than adults because they in fact are not fully intellectually developed. In Thailand adulthood begins at the age not of 18 but a full 20 years old for context.

 

Minors are not capable of making such serious and weighty decisions such as should I cut off my penis or not ffs. Moreover, the decision itself could be clouded by a whole host of hormonal and psychoactive drugs and underlying psychological issues. These drugs pushed by big pharma and extremely unethical medical industry is ghastly, but unsurprising in this day and age - especially when government is forced to pick up the tab 💰💰💰

 

How cynical 😳

 

When the individual is an adult and wish to cut off their dick or add goat horns to their head it's entirely up to them.

 

I'm very pleased I was circumcised at birth. I've suffered no infection and I have a dick that doesn't look like it belongs on a dog.

 

Finally, to go back to the first portion of your post:

 

There is no evidence that circumcision cuts down on infections. If that were REALLY TRUE then adults could choose to have the operation as Adults! Not as new born babies.

 

HU?!? The above makes zero sense. If it were true as it is then we would want the procedure done asap.
