OT: Circ or not to Circ... The following contains a YECH

[Guest guest]

Kathleen,

 

That cheese thing a totally natural thing that happens to some guys,

and incidentally, happens to most women.

 

If we weren't supposed to have foreskins, or not then how would any

animals survive in a jungle?

 

I've never seen a Wild Animal Show ware little vet's run under the

loins to snip them. (Although, the lion's reaction would be pretty

funny.)

 

I'd be happy to provide you more history on this subject. Like in

the US it became widespread in the Victorian area to stop

masturbation. (you know, the evil that it is.)

 

I think the reason men get so defensive, is that, if they were cir'ed

as babies they wouldn't know any different. To say it's wrong, then

they would have to admit they are missing something. A rather

horrible notion for most men.

 

Course, once in a while, there is an adult who's happier after having

it done, but that's the exception not the rule.

 

Thanks for educating everyone on this most squeamish subject.

Okie dokie...I've got a link for you, but please be forewarned, there is a

visual. I've copied/pasted a few tidbits from the link, just in case your

not *that* interested in smegma.

 

http://www.foreskin.org/smegma.htm

 

" The animal kingdom would probably cease to exist without smegma. "

Thomas J. Ritter, MD

 

" And they say, 'Well, you'll have cheese [if you're not circumcised].' I

like it! It's my cheese! Give it to me! "

Howard Stern on his radio show, 4/11/00

 

" Infant Smegma: Skin cells from the glans of the penis and the inner

foreskin are shed throughout life. This is especially true in childhood;

natural skin shedding serves to separate the foreskin from the glans. Since

this shedding takes place in a relatively closed space -- with the foreskin

covering the glans -- the shed skin cells cannot escape in the usual manner.

They escape by working their way to the tip of the foreskin. These escaping

discarded skin cells constitute infant smegma. " / " Adult Smegma: ... Adult

smegma serves as a protective, lubricating function for the glans. " ( " Care

of the Uncircumcised Penis, " American Academy of Pediatrics, 1984)

 

" An infant's glans is very delicate and can be seriously irritated by urine.

The foreskin acts as a cover for the glans and produces smegma for a

protective coating. " (p. 55) / " As to smegma, the normal secretion produced

under the foreskin, Gairdner claimed that this substance protects the glans.

This is particularly important if wet diapers are left on too long, since

decomposition of the urine can cause irritation of the glans if it is not

coated with smegma. " (p. 64) / " [T]here is not a shred of evidence to

support to theory that smegma is carcinogenic. " (p. 91) / " All animals

produce smegma, and none is circumcised. When mammals reproduce, smegma is

deposited. If smegma contained a carcinogen or even an irritant, then the

propagation of the species would be jeopardized. No such phenomenon exists. "

(p. 106) (Circumcision: An American Health Fallacy, by Edward Wallerstein,

Springer Publishing Co., 1980)

 

Have a wonderful day!
