I just don't get why they risk the infections and stuff in these countries and cultures... applies to both male and female circumcision or "cutting" etc etc... barbaric. Education is a better approach perhaps.

I guess it's good thing you can get a new one though.

Circumcision is not just a third world thing... The majority of USA male infants (60 plus percent) have circumcision done, chosen by their parents shortly after birth. Unless the tip of his man part is hidden underneath a roll of skin, then he has had a circumcision done when he was an infant.

Well my father was /had to be circumcised at about 50.
Ouch, horrible mess I remember he was in lots of pain for some time.
Glad I was done after birth,dont remember a thing.
