7 Reasons To Get Circumcised by JSmart4u(m): 1:15pm On Jan 10, 2016
Male circumcision is one of the most hotly
debated sexual health issues in the medical
community, and it’s also widely discussed
among everyday men and women. Why it is
such a controversial topic? Well, part of the
reason might be because there’s no
definitive evidence that being circumcised
is better, medically speaking, than being
uncircumcised – and vice versa.
However, there are certain things that we
are sure of when it comes to circumcision,
which involves a minor surgical procedure
to remove the foreskin (the sleeve of skin
around the head of the penis). These
factors offer compelling reasons for men to
get the snip.
Here are some of the advantages of
circumcisions:

Circumcision does not affect male sexual
drive or functioning.

When a guy is not circumcised, moisture
can get trapped between his penis and the
foreskin, which creates an ideal
environment for bacteria to grow. This
means there’s a higher risk of infection and
it’s easier to spread viruses to others.

Removing the foreskin gets rid of the wet,
warm and dark environment that can
sustain viruses such as HIV and other
sexually transmitted infections such as
syphilis, herpes and cancroids.

Being circumcised reduces your female
partner’s risk of cervical cancer.

By getting circumcised, you not only reduce
your own HIV and STI risk, but your
partner’s too.

It can be difficult to keep an uncircumcised
penis fresh 100% of the time. Circumcision
simplifies the task of keeping the penis
clean and keeps you fresher, giving you
more confidence.

Some women prefer circumcised joysticks
due to personal preference, as well as the
reasons listed here.
The procedure: What to expect and
recovery time

A medical male circumcision takes about
30 minutes and is done under anaesthetic
by a doctor. The foreskin is snipped off and
a few stitches are used to close the
incision. These fall out on their own once
the penis has healed.
Afterwards you may experience some
discomfort for a day or two, but generally it
isn’t very painful. There should be no more
swelling after two to three weeks, and
complete recovery in adult men takes
around four to six weeks.
