From what I have read, people say it makes it cleaner and potentially prevents STDs. The latter is dubious at best. The former is entirely based on misunderstanding. A baby's foreskin is fused in place. It is not meant to retract and forcibly retracting it can cause wounds which get infected. It also creates the thing people are trying to avoid which is a trap for germs. As a boy matures, eventually his foreskin becomes moveable and as long as he is taught how to wash it, there is no problem.
There is a condition whose name I cannot remember which causes the foreskin to have no elasticity but this is not an issue at birth and can be solved without complete circumcision in many cases.
The risk of UTI’s is very low amongst intact and not intact males primarily because males have a long urethra. It’s deceptive to not state that the risk of UTI’s is still low amongst intact males. It’s also patently false to claim that not intact penises are more hygienic. Both intact and not intact penises require hygienic care. You won’t find a single medical society in the world that advocates for routine neonatal circumcision. You should do your research before throwing stuff out there.
You’re playing semantic games now lol? Check your facts before dishing out quackery that’s harmful. Evidence-based medicine is what you want to rely on.
I was never circumcised and I’m kinda questioning it now that I have phimosis and a little bit of a penile adhesion, both of which wouldn’t have been a problem for me rn if I had gotten circumcised, but I could be wrong and am open to be educated on the downsides of it
Yeah I’m working on it, it’s just really stressful for someone my age (18) cause every time things are getting “spicy” I get anxious and stressed about if my piece is gonna function properly, and it only does it If I’m wearing protection so if I want kids one day (which I do) I’m gonna have to fix it somehow, I did a lot of reading online and heard a lot of stories and saw how common phimosis actually is
There are occassionally deaths caused by vaccines as well. Guess we end vaccines. This is not a good arguement. By it's high upvotes from people with perfectly good circumcised penises tells me thos is just an easy virtue signal cause you are too cowardly to really say why you are mad about the current state of affairs in regards to gender. This is such a non issue it speaks volumes what you are really mad about but are too shamed by gynocenyric sociery to utter.
