Should Circumcision Become Public Health Policy?

Some comments include a statement that circumcision does not adversely affect sexual pleasure. I was circumcised at birth and never thought about it. But, as I got older I lost a lot of sensitivity in my penis and had a harder time staying hard and it took me longer and longer to ejaculate during sex. As soon as I learned about circumcision and foreskin restoration, I immediately began restoring my foreskin. See www.RestoringForeskin.org for info on foreskin restoration.

After I partially restored my foreskin, I noticed a big difference in sensitivity and sexual pleasure. See my blog at www.RestoringTally.com My wife used to get sore from sex and we needed lubricant. Now, she does not get sore and we don't need lubricant. We both enjoy sex a whole lot more.

The fact that some men prefer to be circumcised is fine. Brad of XX had the choice as an adult to have a circumcision. I and many others never had that choice. I would have preferred to remain intact.

I don't have a problem with the idea of being circumcised. I think it serves well as being healthier as far as lowering the ability to gain HIV. I can see where both the male and his partner can appreciate that. I can also see where the partner would appreciate the area of hygene. Many women could easily get turned off if the male's wee-wee stinks because of the males' lack or inability to clean certain areas.

It seems that too much selfish pleasure can put more people at risk. Many women appreciate a man who is circumcised because it makes the head more shaped and can be more effective in triggering the sensitive spots inside a female.

But since we are so sexually active I think circumcision is a great practice for curving HIV. I find it worth sacrificing some sensitivity for making the world a little healthier and safer. I think people should think more about others, rather than so much about themselves, if they are going to have sex with many people.
