NY Times story on the benefits of circumcision in preventing HIV infection. Best paragraph:
Okay, “The Uncuts” = Band name! And Jack Dean Tyler shall lead them!
Sure, whenever a circumcised guy doesn’t like his penis and want’s to get uncircumcised he has “issues” with his parents or body, but when an intact guy can get circumcised without comment or being accused of mental illness. :rolleyes:
Imagines the horrified reaction of some poor woman finding herself face to face with a green monster with stitch-scars and twin bolts coming out of each side of the glans
“Igor, whose foreskin did we use on the Monster Penis…?”
“Abby’s.”
“Abby who…?”
“Abby…Normal.”
“We put an Abnormal Foreskin on a Monster Sized Penis…!?!”
Time to march on Washington! 
If I had a dumbbell hanging from my wang I don’t think I’d be in a hurry to march anywhere.
“Oh sure, when I got my appendix taken out, no one batted an eye… but when I insist on having one sewn back in, suddenly everyone thinks I’m a nutcase!”
All this based on a study of less than a hundred men in Africa? :eek:
It reminds me of the time some civil defense spokesman said you could protect yourself from poison gas attacks by duct taping your doors and windows. :dubious:
Wait … that’s not true?! :eek:
Real friends circumcise together.
Oh my Og that’s awful! People are actually concerned with what specifically goes on in another person’s (stranger or no) crotch … all I can add is either they don’t have enough problems or to do. Dipshits.
Funny how a bunch of dudes are ready to get cut to prevent HIV, but won’t use protection and/or talk with their partner about it. Like getting cut is going is really going to help in prevention anyway, I don’t care what the research panel says.
Fight my ignorance…can anyone summarize how exactly circumcision prevents HIV infection? I thought anyone could potentially get HIV if they had unprotected sex with an infected person, used contaminated needles, etc. How does circumcision protect against HIV infection?
The skin on the underside of the foreskin is reportedly more permeable to HIV. Some reports say the female-to-male infection reduction is somewhere in the 50-70% range. Beware that searches on the topic bring up loud anti-circumcism sites first.
I’ve also heard that where the skin folds over there are micro-fissures right at the fold that allow transmission of the virus.
I think I love you.
Yes! Yes! He was my boyfriend!
