Oh dear, I made more XD

This one's kind of "bleh", though. I feel strongly about the issue, but I don't like the way it came out :\ I hope the thumbnail will animate properly, at least.

I think circumcised penises are ugly. But that's not why you shouldn't have your kid snipped at birth - you shouldn't do that because the health benefits are not appreciable in the modern day and age, and cutting off a perfectly functional part of the body for aesthetics is wrong. It's like piercings and tattoos - it's not up to you, it's up to the kid. If he wants to get cut later on, more power to him. But it's not your choice to make.

And by the way, if you insist on being pro-circ, at least stop calling it "normal". Normal is what a body part is before you start cutting things off XP And just because some cultures made it into the accepted thing, doesn't mean it's done worldwide! Yes I'm lookin' at you again, America -_-;

Use as you like, but please link back here if you're not using thumbnail code!

Made with ^zilla774's Stamp Template, hurrah :D

Actually, depending on where you live...

Recent studies have shown that circumcisions reduce an unprotected male's odds of contracting HIV by at least half. Granted, this is less of an issue in civilized countries, where protection is abundantly available, but it's kindof important in Africa or any other country dealing with a significant aids issue. I mean, I kindof agree with you, but at the same time, there are tangible, scientifically verified medical benefits.
:iconfoxlee:
Recent studies have also shown that there's not such effect, so I guess it comes down to who you believe.

Anyway, by "this day and age", I was referring to first-world countries. In a place like Africa, you could have a medical reason for it, in which case it's a different issue.

Not to disagree with you, but I thought that they circumsized penises because it kept it easier to clean and keep infections from happening there.

That's the popular belief, yes. However, the reality is that unless your personal hygiene is utterly deplorable, it won't make a meaningful difference. In any case, I also don't believe it's a good enough reason - consider, you could also make a vagine less prone to infection by surgically altering it, yet this is not an acceptable thing to do to female infants.
