| – | Infant penis care - circumcised vs intactPersonally, I'm happy that my parents decided to circumcise me when I was a baby. The procedure sounds painful when done in adulthood so it's unlikely I would have gotten it done if they had chosen to let me decide. But now I have a penis that I love, a slightly reduced risk of STDs, and no memory of a painful recovery. In my mind, it was the best case scenario. | /r/MensRights | 23/03/17 05:48 PM |
| – | Infant penis care - circumcised vs intactI have posted several sources on that subject. You haven't looked at any of them. Aaand yet another https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man response from you. | /r/MensRights | 23/03/17 12:38 AM |
| – | Infant penis care - circumcised vs intactPointing to the APA [sic] on this issue is comical. They are so discredited on this issue that you might as well cited an ultra Orthodox rabbi instead I do not believe the AAP has been discredited outside of your echo chamber. They have released a response to the backlash of their stance I think is worth reading: http://jme.bmj.com/content/early/2013/03/18/medethics-2013-101456.extract | /r/MensRights | 22/03/17 10:59 PM |
| – | Infant penis care - circumcised vs intactCircumcision requires the use of anesthesia. Here is the AAP's recommendation for reducing the pain suffered by the infants: "Analgesia is safe and effective in reducing the procedural pain associated with newborn circumcision; thus, adequate analgesia should be provided whenever newborn circumcision is performed. Nonpharmacologic techniques (eg, positioning, sucrose pacifiers) alone are insufficient to prevent procedural and postprocedural pain and are not recommended as the sole method of anal… | /r/MensRights | 22/03/17 09:50 PM |
| – | Infant penis care - circumcised vs intactYou're 4x less likely to develop complications from the surgery as an infant. Source: http://www.cps.ca/documents/position/circumcision | /r/MensRights | 22/03/17 11:33 AM |
| – | Infant penis care - circumcised vs intactThere are no health benefits of female circumcision. Why make that comparison? | /r/MensRights | 22/03/17 04:25 AM |
| – | Infant penis care - circumcised vs intactWhat do you believe is the World Health Organization's incentive for taking the stance that circumcision lowers heterosexually contracted HIV rates by 60%? I personally believe they feel like there is enough evidence to suggest that it is one of multiple means to lower HIV rates and not some scheme to profit off of people in Africa. I'm sure if you promote non-circumcision the millions who will die will take solace in knowing billions have been okay though. That's just common sense /s | /r/MensRights | 22/03/17 03:15 AM |
| – | Infant penis care - circumcised vs intactThat's an interesting read, thank you for posting. I feel the main takeaway from it was that because the AAP gets most of their research from studies done in Africa, it cannot translate directly to western countries. It also makes the claim that the AAP has a cultural bias. I agree with both of those assertions. I believe that the source you posted also has a cultural bias. At the end of the day, it feels like everyone just wants to justify what their (or their partner's) penis looks like alread… | /r/MensRights | 22/03/17 02:15 AM |
| – | Infant penis care - circumcised vs intactI tend to agree with the research done by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Here are the benefits that they list: A markedly lower risk of acquiring HIV, the virus that causes AIDS. A significantly lower risk of acquiring a number of other sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including genital herpes (HSV), human papilloma virus (HPV), and syphilis. A slightly lower risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs). A circumcised infant boy has about a 1 in 1,000 chance of developing a UTI in the fir… | /r/MensRights | 22/03/17 12:50 AM |
| – | Infant penis care - circumcised vs intactI'm also glad that I got circumcised. I didn't choose it, but I'm happy my parents did. I believe that the benefits outweigh the risks. | /r/MensRights | 22/03/17 12:18 AM |
