The fact that Jews circumcise their sons at 8 days because of religious reasons doesn't preclude it from making sense. Let's discuss the issue itself, and judge it on its own rights and merits and not dismiss it without considering it!

Sticking it in deep retardation: 1. Shabbat 2. Kashrut 3. Circumcision 4. Fixed prayers (no mass)

No 19 I feel sorry for the girls, who have sex with men, who do not wash their penises, circumcised or not. You would not kiss the boy who not brushes his teeth and his breath stinks wouldn’t you? The same is with the penis. Circumcision is not substitute for soap and water and daily hygiene of whole body. At the base of the head penis there are orifices that excrete antibiotic substances to kill bacteria but somehow you do not know about this . What about STD diseases that are exploding in USA? We are most circumcised society in a free world and should not have such high percentage of infections. Depraving the boys of large percentage of skin on the penis, with over 200.000 nerve ending will affect the sensation during sex. That why oral sex is so popular, because more intensive stimulation of that part of our body. Rubbing exposed penis gland by clothing makes it less sensitive. Sex does not end at early adulthood, and men at certain age, let’s say past fifty, have right to full sensation and sensitivity at this end, not diminished by constant rubbing of the gland against the clothing. But whom I am kidding? I will not convince anyone, especially those who are already circumcised.

What you refer to as primitive are some of the most basic elements which have kept Jews as Jews for thousands of years. Have you seen any Babylonians or ancient Egyptians Greeks or Romans lately? ... Did not think so...

Who said anything about size? And, frankly, I really didn't want to got there, but the truth is there's a difference in appearance and it's not my fault if some women have preferences. Also, it's not as if I was taking a freaking survey. These are things that just come up in the course of conversations...but it sounds as if it's hit a nerve.

I'd like to eavesdrop on you and your friends while you have your conversations.And you're right it's hit a nerve,thousand of them and therefore i'm against the circumcision

Kosher.....healthier Circumcision......healthier Shabat........up to the individual Prayers.......as in most religions...very old!!! OK want 2012 religion...cyber gods!!!

I'm open minded to consider any actual EVIDENCE. I still have yet to see any scientific objective measurement of "how it feels" for a guy. No one is referring to what a girl can feel down there. Not that we know how to measure THAT, either. Which won't stop every platoon of Gadna-nikkim from talking about it all night, of course.

I will look for a good musician without bother to know on what instrument he plays.

Actually, I'm not so sure....because some of the things women say when there are no men within earshot would probably really shock you.

but in my young years we "went out" with non Jewish girls . We had much succes amongst them , they prefered circumcised boys , they enjoyed the relations much more than with non circumcised ones . The non Jewish boys could not compete against us .

They need 5000 years span timeand to spend billion of dollars to find the Particle of God and the Jews need just a Brit Mila for it?

Better off having it done to your kids by a rabbi anyways. What do you call a Jewish child that is not circumcised? A girl!

circumcision only makes your sex life worse if you are homosexual, or female. What do you call a Jewish child who is not circumcised? A Girl!

Circumcision removes highly erogenous tissue (skin will have an average area of 15sqin. in an adult male - the foreskin is double-folded). Plus, it protects the glans head, keeping it moist and sensitive. Ever wonder why women (in the hands of adept lovers, at least) can have more powerful orgasms than circumcised Americans or Israelis?

i wouldnt dream of handing my son over to be strapped or held down and sliced with sharp surgical instruments for no reason. i was married to a jordanian man and therefore my half arabic son is probably unusual in being intact. if my former in laws did this to him behind my back, they would not only never see him again, but i would go out of my way to have them prosecuted. i know however that they wouldnt do such a thing. the arguments in favour are as barbaric as the procedure. religion - enough said. culture - not static on any other issue so no reason. hygiene - use soap and water. lower hiv rates - using barrier protection is the only way to rest easy on that score. and most ridiculously of all 'women prefer it' - conditioned women in societies where its done, largely yes. european, latin, and asian women - largely no. and not being a female issue what right to we have to force this on little boys. its the same as cutting the clitoral hood and i dont see many ladies on here offering themselves up for that. preferences? please. many men prefer women with large breasts. implants should be mandatory? almost all men prefer tight vaginas - should we all rush for tightening procedures on that basis? personally i dont prefer it, never having been turned on by scar tissue. on more extreme cuttings it looks like its been ripped. sliced, scarred, cornified, exposed, torn, and vastly more difficult to give a handjob to - oh yes, very attractive. thankfully my ex husbands was quite subtle but even then, it activated my gag reflex to dwell on it. islamic, american, and jewish - and only because of the latter does it fly under the radar of most authorities. were it only practiced by muslims - or indeed black africans - then police and social services would be crawling all over the families in question, and rightly so. good for switzerland.

As a Jew I am in favor of circumcision But as a human been I can understand the position of he ones that are against It is a ireversible act done on someone that did not agreed to it! So what happen if the boy in question is not happy that he had this procedure done on him and on top of it without his concent The fact that it as been done for 1000's of years do not justify it I don't think that we should see this as an antisemitic law but more as an evolution of the society that has concern for the protection of CITYZENS
