[ExI] Circumcision

[William Flynn Wallace]

FWIW, when my son was born in '82 we opted out of circumcision for the
obvious reasons but he ended up with an infection that necessitated
circumcision at ~3 months, which was more traumatic than it is for
newborns. I still think routine circumcision should be avoided, but parents
need to be aware of the potential for problems and educated on the proper
care of an uncircumcised boy.  Dave

An early study of astronauts who had been in space showed that a large
buildup of bacteria occurred on uncut men.  Men who are uncut need to wash
that area faithfully.  They can give women infections easily as well as
having severe problems themselves.

I am cut and never had a problem of any kind with it.  It is said that
being cut makes it more difficult not to proceed to orgasm during sex -
more stimulation occurring to the prepuce.  I would not know.
