I used to know a bloke who had to have a circumcision after an 'accident'. He said for the first few months it used to chafe against his underwear and as a result he lost all sensitivity around the end.

My nephew had to go to hospital to have his manhood disentagled from his trousers fly even the doctor laughed (how unprofessional )

The heath benefits of circumcision are exaggerated.

That's the process by which it's been done, which of course is terrible, I'm not convinced the procedure even done under sterile medical conditions offers any benefit. If it's not necessary, why's it there? I don't see babies appendices being whipped out at birth?

In the US the prevalence of male circumcision is about 70-90%.

Any other situation they would get locked up.

In certain jewish sects the Rabbi will suck out the blood after performing the circumcision.

 

[EFLImpudence]

Of course he will; god told him to.

Not necessarily, it may be Rabbinic tradition as laid down in the Gemara which forms part of the Talmud.

Religion: a leading cause of knob rot

 

[Mottie]

I heard that Jewish women wont touch anything unless it has at least 10% off.....

 

[EFLImpudence]

There aren't many Jews in the world and Muslims do the same - as do the royal family.

If, as was stated earlier, a vast majority in the US also do it, then wherever did the stupid practice begin?


Wearing silly hats and hairstyles is one thing but religious demands to mutilate the body should raise some suspicions.

"The paper also finds that over their lifetime, half of all uncircumcised males will contract a medical condition related to their foreskin"
What a load of tosh.
