Circumcision has been known for millennia to prevent various diseases although the exact mechanism was not known until modern science was able to prove things. That is why circumcision is normal for many tribes and peoples around the world including much of Africa, Australian Aborigines, Polynesian peoples, etc. The Jews and their Arab neighbours in Egypt, etc also practiced it because the desert conditions caused them problems with a foreskin. Their practice was reinforced by religious prescription.

As medicine became more organised in Victorian times, circumcision was seen as a preventative and cure for many problems - unfortunately they still didn't have the scientific knowledge to restrict these claims to just the things that it did prevent/cure and added various fanciful extras.

Since WW2 the scientific method has proven the worth of circumcision in reducing the spread of several Sexually Transmitted Infections and the quality of healthcare has so greatly improved that it is now a very simple and safe operation that can easily be performed in the doctor's office under a local anaesthetic.

In the USA medical activities are basically paid for as and when they are performed, whether out of the patient's own pocket or by health insurance for which he has paid regular premiums. Health providers will therefore provide those services which their patients require or desire. Of course they charge what it costs plus a reasonable profit - but health promotion is the general aim, not (as the anti-circumcision faction would try to have you believe) lining their pockets.

In the UK most health services are socialised under the National Health Service. This is funded out of taxation (National Insurance) and, as is usual with government bureaucracies, is top heavy with administrators, accountants and statisticians who all consume a large proportion of the limited budget, leaving less than desired for real medicine. Thus the doctors are forced to cut back on - and hence actively discourage - anything which isn't immediately obviously life-saving, such as infant circumcision. This allows the bureaucrats to maintain good statistics for the high profile jobs such as heart transplants.

The UK doctors' efforts to reduce 'minor' jobs was aided in 1948 by the publication of an opinion article in The Lancet magazine by a Dr Gairdner who claimed a large number of infants died each year from circumcision. This was not strictly true as it was the inappropriate use of old-fashioned general anaesthetics such as ether and chloroform which caused the deaths. When local anaesthetics were used the complication rate dropped to almost zero!

The British have traditionally had an attitude that the 'doctor knows best'. They also are more prepared to accept privations as a result of the isolation of the British Isles during WW2 and the consequent rationing of all sorts of goods. On the other hand the American people are more prone to wanting things their own way and questioning 'authority'.

All these factors combine to making the Americans want, and get, circumcision for their children whilst the British are prepared to accept that it is 'not available' under the NHS. Until quite recently with the growth of the Internet it was not possible to learn of doctors who would willingly circumcise in the UK.

There is a very considerable pent-up demand for infant circumcision in the UK and it won't be very long before central attitudes will have to change. There are a growing number of doctors and clinics now offering the service and the NHS is being forced to do so too in some areas. In another 5-10 years we may well see parity between the UK and the USA in the availability of infant circumcision.

Today there are more that had their boys circumcised, that are restoring their penis foreskin. I am uncircumcised, and love the feel and way it looks compared to having it look like its been pared back, scared, and discolored. Good Luck Steve

Ahh circumcision. God order the Israelites to be circumcised to set them apart from the rest of humanity. This is where the clean unclean statement came from (thus the Jews were deemed clean and the rest of humanity unclean. They also could not eat fish unless they had fins and scales (no catfish). The Old Testament of the Bible has a lot of things they could not do - that in the New Testament of the same Bible it is ok. When the Jews said that the Gentiles had to be circumcised the Apostles proclaimed that it was now the circumcision of the heart God looked at and not the circumcision of the flesh.
Americans and British: I am not cut so I like uncircumcision I think the Am do it for the money mostly and also they claim that it is healthier. I have kept myself clean and had no problems and I enjoy the extra sensations in the foreskin during sexual acts.
Hope I did not confuse or bore you. Just enjoy being uncut.

Probably because there's a lot of Jews in America. They're all weirdos!!! Uncircumcision in my book is normal. I think circumcision is weird because it's cut off!!! But whatever. Americans are incredibly stupid. That's all.

Well Haydz. The British are more intelligent then Americans, you see. Americans believe a circumcised penis is cleaner, and looks nicer.

My guess is that it has something to do with our health care systems
in the U.S. we have a for profit system, circumcision is one more way to make money off of a patient. In your country I think they try to avoid
unnecessary procedures to hold down cost.
Sometimes there are conditions which require this procedure such as
foreskin that is to tight.

It became more common for Americans to be circumcised after WWII, and the propaganda promulgated by the medical profession as to the so-called benefits--mainly to the doctors' bank accounts.

Old wives tales also have continued to make some people think that it's "cleaner," or it prevents diseases, which is does not do.

The trend is declining, down from 85?o only about 50?f infant males being mutilated by circumcision here, as finally we gullible Americans are learning what most of the rest of the world knew all along; a whole penis, natural and normal with a foreskin feels and functions better than a partial penis, mutilated and scarred by circumcision.

Many of our doctors here belong to the religions that try to impose circumcision on all males, which is another reason that the scourge of circumcision became so widespread in the first place.

I had circumcision forced on me as an infant, and suffered more than the usual 50-75?oss of sexual sensitivity as a result of the neural and vascular damage to my penis.

I finally found out about foreskin restoration, which won't repair the permanent damage, but it does vastly improve sexual sensitivity and function.

The circumcision rates have also dropped in Canada and Australia, but the doctors are hard at work, trying to circumcise huge numbers of African males. They are using propaganda and falsified statistics to try to show that HIV is prevented by circumcision.

But this is a complete lie, as the HIV rate was the highest among developed nations, while the circumcision rate was also the highest.

All of the countries in Europe, Scandinavia, South America, and most of Asia, where males are rarely circumcised, have invariably much, much lower rates of HIV.

But old habits die hard, and there are still those who misguidedly think that damaging the penis makes it better. Those people lack the intelligence to see that most of the world's males function quite well, better, in fact, because they are not mutilated.


Circumcision is the worst hoax ever perpetrated on the male sex.

A foreskin is not a birth defect; it is a birthright.

It was a really stupid fad here in the US- primarily caused by a huge influx of jewish doctors during the pogroms of germany-- where suspected jews were made to drop their pants in the street to prove whether they were cut or not-- and only jews at that time were circumcised. So by saying circumcised was hygenic, and making it a common practice, you can't really tell who is jewish or not in the USA and there would be no way to easily round up the jewish people. Plus doctors make a lot of money doing the deed. since until the mid 1990's nearly 99?f all newborn boys were cut. Now the rate is down to about 53?nd dropping rapidly, thank goodness.
Answered By: zackbarrett - 8/1/2009
"cirkdone" is obviously a pro circumcision nut (of which there are many in the US) so don't listen to his intellegent sounding argument that basically amounts to complete nonsense. No doctors or pediatricians (even in the US) claim that circumcision is necessary or that the potential benefits outweight the risks. The fact is, we have a lot of Jewish doctors in the US and most of them (who are circumcised themselves) can only see the "benefits" and do not recognize the drawbacks. But even most of them say it's not recommended for newborns, and this comes from the doctors that want you to get it done so that they can make a profit from it.

There are a lot of circumcised guys in America but there are also a lot of uncircumcised guys so being uncut in the states isn't as rare as being cut in England.

There are three reasons it's so popular here compared to most European countries.

1) In the 1940's military doctors used to have the troops circumcised to prevent infections. The soldiers would be out in the field where they couldn't shower for days or weeks at a time and commanders felt that it would be beneficial to the unit is the men were circumcised so they wouldn't have to worry about hygiene. It then became a trend in America and all the boys born in that era were circumcised as routine in hospitals.

2) For years people believed (and some still do) that circumcision was a harmless procedure (a simple snip that didn't cause much pain) and that it was medically necessary to prevent all kinds of penile problems later in life. Even doctors promoted this idea to parents (mostly because it made them extra cash). It wasn't until very recently (the 90's) when people started to realize that most of that was BS and that there are really no significant benefits to it or that it actually is extremely painful to infants and can have sexual drawbacks. Since the 90's the circumcision rate in the US has dropped to about 50?

3) Since so many males in this country were circumcised throughout the decades, the circumcised penis came to be looked at as more aesthetically pleasing and more "normal" looking than the uncircumcised penis which despite being natural was so rare that it looked "weird" or "gross" to a lot of Americans. Based on that, people decided (and still do) that boys who are not circumcised will be made fun of in the locker room and that girls won't want to sleep with a guy who is uncircumcised.

Because the stigma and ignorance surrounding circumcision is still very much alive and well in the US, it's a tradition that will never fully go away (at least no time soon), but it is one that more and more people are moving away from. Eventually, the US will be like every other developed nation where most males (except Jews and Muslims) are kept natural, but that will be a while. Circumcision today in the US is also very regional. It's not as common on the west coast as it is in the central states or in the south. The more liberal areas of the country tend to not practice circumcision while the more conservative areas tend to continue it as tradition.

In America it's become part of their culture. I don't know why. I think they just decided it was good, so that was all people knew, and then they chose to do it etc.

Also because they don't have national health care, doctors are more motivated by $ over there.

It never really became popular in the UK because people realised quickly it's not medically necessary or beneficial.

Every time I log into Yahoo Answers, I see a bunch of questions about penis size from guys. They state their age, height, weight, length and girth of penis when erect and flaccid, and want to know if they are small, average or big.

Just checking out the Men's Health section and it seems that we men are really obsess about our penis. Its measurements and function. Why is that? Why aren't we able to be happy with what we have and just deal with it. I think if we spend the same amount of time/energy that we do wondering about our penis, we could solve the energy crisis, build a colony on Mars AND eliminate poverty and most diseases in this world already.

Basically- no degree, although I have tried completing one in the past and stopped because of physical and mental health issues which were overwhelming to deal with along with going to classes full time. I'm not stupid and I am quite articulate. I am 23 and have only worked for about two years retail in high school and stopped working to go to university. I worked a few months in 2010 retail after I dropped out but it was only a seasonal position, and the only reason why I have not been able to constantly work is because of mental health issues. I had also tried going back to community college during my free time since i left university in 2008/9 and I had panic attacks while in community college, which made my anxiety worse from then on. Well recently I met a good doctor and he prescribed me some meds that are stabilizing my moods and I feel the best I've felt in years, and I'm ready to work. Thing is, I don't know how to get a job now since I've spent literally years being depressed and anxious doing nothing. I don't really have anything to put on my resume, and I never finished my AA degree either. All I've done is cashiering and although I do the job well and I get promoted easily when I do these jobs because I'm a hard worker and I try to go above and beyond what they ask of me,which is the attitude I have no matter what kind of work I'm doing as long as I'm getting paid. But I hate cashiering because it's too easy and I want a job that is more interesting. Any suggestions for me on how to get a job that is NOT Retail with the type of background I have right now? I also realize I have to go to college to get certain types of jobs, I am talking about what I can do right here right now.

So I have a nice white button up shirt, business skirt and pants, and a suit jacket. I'm applying for a software development job and I'm very short and can look young so I'm trying to look adult, yet professional. I'm also attractive so I'm trying not to look too sexy. For the career fair I'm thinking of wearing just my nice shirt and a skirt with low heels. My reasoning being it's approachable and attractive without going overboard since the career fair hosts are mostly younger male recent grads. I want to be remembered but not intimidating. For my interviews I was thinking pants, suit jacket (power suit). My reasoning being it'll be older execs and HR people (mostly women) so less sexy with the pants but more powerful with the suit jacket. What do you think?!
