Adeolaissacutie:
I don't know why someone will ask such a stupid question.... Google it.... If they cut your tongue... Will you be able to taste anything?... That's how female circumcision is like

Emmytes:


If it does nothing to sexual drive then why do it in the first place?

mistel:
you are wrong there! that's exaggeration

Peachess:

That's no exaggeration, when a lady is circumcised she feels nothing down there. That's why they circumcise women in the first place, cos they don't want them to have any sexual urge

mistel:
religion! Gods covenant with Abraham!

Emmytes:
It's clear that nobody is intelligent enough to understand and answer my questions.

to rephrase the question, Why is there circumcision at all? If it's bad for the females, it should also be the same for the male. Why arent they left the way they are from the beginning ?

If you say circumcision is bad for females and should be stopped, why do you do it to the males?

And please don't bring in religion into this, I don't indulge in fables and fairy tales.

ubunja:

name just one medical danger to keeping the foreskin

Two conditions can occur with the foreskin of the penis of an uncircumcised or improperly circumcised boy or man, 1) phimosis and 2) paraphimosis

Phimosis: This condition occurs when the foreskin cannot be retracted (pulled back) behind the head (glans) of the penis. This is called phimosis. It is usually a condition found in children and occasionally adults. Physiological phimosis is the normal condition that occurs mainly during the first year of life when the foreskin is not retractable in these young males. This may occur until about 3 years of age. This condition is not a congenital problem such as buried penis (the penis is located beneath the abdominal skin). Phimosis can often lead to a painful type of infection called balanitis.
Paraphimosis: This condition, paraphimosis, is somewhat the opposite of phimosis. The foreskin, after being pulled back, becomes trapped and then swollen behind the head (glans) of the penis.
The swelling can lead to blockage of blood flow to the penis, which can lead to gangrene of the penile shaft and head distal to the welling.
Paraphiosis is considered a true medical emergency. Circumcision (surgical removal of the foreskin) at birth or revision of a prior circumcision can prevent this condition.

If you're so intelligent & already know the answer to your question. Why ask it in the first place?

Shukusheka:
Because you were not intelligent enough not to leave questions open for misinterpretation by your respondents. Because for males the benefits of circumcision outweighs the risk. Female circumcision on the hand is just plain wickedness and has no benefits whatsoever.

ubunja:

you dont get it.do you? these are not medical issues per se.
even a breast can get breast cancer but we dont cut off breasts of every woman. how are you not getting this you are just telling me of accidents.its like saying just coz a person can choke on food then the throat is a dangerous thing to have and must be chopped off

barallanee:
There are million reasons:
1.clitoridectomy: removal of the clitorial hood with or without the clitoris(in my own opinion it is very dangerous)

i.FGC(female genital cutting) has immediate potential side effects which include:
-severe pains
-Haemorrhage
-injury to the adjacent tissue and organs
-Shock
-infection
-urinary retention and Tetanus..

Long term effects

ubunja:

then you're not enjoying sex the right way. by cutting the foreskin it exposes the part where you can feel more joy

Kobicove:


Must you people bring religion into every debate that requires simple logic?

Emmytes:


What's Abrahams(a Jew) covenant with his imaginary god got to do with an African man ?

How can someone ask this kind of question?

Well generally it is necessary and that "generally" includes the 0.5% because in the benefits listed the hygiene aspect was already highlighted.

Take a look at the list of benefits I provided again and also read the site I gave about personal testimonies from those who have been circumcised.

CoolUsername:


The benefits are overblown and do not justify the procedure. Hygiene is the job of the parents and they shouldn't be allowed to chop off a part of their son for easy maintenance.

Would you remove your child's appendix to prevent appendicitis in the future? If not, then the marginal effect circumcision has on preventing STIs in the contentious studies that prove it shouldn't be enough for you to permanently remove a part of a child, especially when we have condoms.

You also neglected to consider to functions of the foreskin, which include:
Protection of the glans from abrasions which reduce sensitivity and ultimately mild erectile dysfunction, provision of extra skin to allow the penis to naturally grow to its full size (the scarring caused by circumcision can impede growth), increased sensitivity (the foreskin has a ring of specialized nerve-endings), etc.

So why cut off a fully-functional part of the body because it takes slightly extra effort to rinse?

Faxole, what do you think?

Emmytes:


If it does nothing to sexual drive then why do it in the first place?

Faxole:


I usually tend to stay away from subjects like this because to pontificate accurately on them, one needs to have a strong grounding in medicine or human biology, a grounding which unfortunately I don't have.

But from the little I have read, I think male circumcision is allowed in most cultures because in men, cutting off the foreskin tends to accrue certain health and hygienic benefits. The reason female circumcision is perceived as objectionable in most parts of the world is due to the fact that it kills the sensitivity of various parts of a woman's genitalià, hence making sex painful rather than pleasurable. I have also read that it makes them more susceptible to various kinds of vaginal infections.
