Gord: TOTT666:
You should have read more carefully. The crux of the matter in what you responded to was THE ADDED HEALTH RISK TO WOMEN of regular sex with UNcut men. Drooping labia or less than perfect breasts pose no such risk to men.

Further, you mention conflicting medical studies that contradict the results I have presented. Like JONB, you fail to make specific reference to ANY such material. I quoted at length from a journal article, and gave a complete citation so that others could go to a medical library and easily find it and check it out for themselves. Vague, unsupported remarks are what JONB would call "anecdotal". In all my reading, I have not encontered an actual medical study refuting the health benfits of circumcision, except for the APA Policy Statement mentioned much earlier, and which is explained by the aversion physicians have to creating liability, given the existence of the risks that accompany ANY surgical procedure. Cicumcision is, of course, an elective procedure to boot.
