| 11 | Infograph--Intact penis vs mutilated oneDefinitely not. That would be an absolutely insane number of deaths. One study suggested 100 die a year in the US, which is probably what you're thinking of, although its methodology has been disputed. What we can say for sure is that babies do die from it, and that any number of deaths from a totally unnecessary, inherently harmful procedure performed without the consent of the recipient is unacceptable. | /r/MensRights | 02/12/17 07:58 AM |

Instead, we seek out harm to stop it. It is certainly possible that benefits do exist. A couple of studies have shown a reduction in HIV among cut women. Vulvar cancer often originates in the labia, so removing them could provide a similar effect to the oft-touted penile cancer reduction for males. Clito… | /r/MensRights | 23/11/17 09:36 AM |

America has a ridiculous rate of "medically necessary" circumcision because doctors simply don't know how to care for a foreskin. They actively cause foreskin problems and then don't know how to treat them besides just cutting it off. And if we're talking about children, the rate is far closer to 50/50 than 80/20. | /r/MensRights | 23/11/17 09:19 AM |

| 1 | Denmark's 29,000 Doctors Declare Circumcision of Healthy Boys an "Ethically Unacceptable" Procedure Offering no Meaningful Health BenefitsYeah. If you have any inner foreskin (and I have seen one guy that had none at all), you can restore it to full size, although it could take quite a while due to the slower growth rate as compared to outer skin. My thought was just that more remaining inner foreskin means more nerve endings, so a guy who restored from a high cut would feel somewhat closer to the real thing than a guy who restored from a low cut. | /r/MensRights | 22/01/17 04:29 AM |

| 1 | Evil: "How My Son’s Circumcision Made Me a Better Mother"Penile cancer is extraordinarily rare. I believe the relative reduction is proportional to the amount of skin removed, but multiplied by the incredibly tiny percent of men that will get it, the absolute reduction is minuscule. I believe male breast cancer is more common. And if you do get it... just get circumcised then. Preemptive mastectomies for girls would be a vastly more effective cancer prevention tool, but you don't see anyone advocating for that. | /r/MensRights | 21/12/16 02:01 AM |
