Firstly and most importantly- It is known that circumcision in a man does help in preventing him from aquiring a sexually transmitted disease.
The longest study of circumcision and STI's in a western country (the Dickson study in New Zealand) showed a very slightly
higher risk of STI's in the circumcised men. There are much better ways to reduce your risk of STI's than cutting parts of children's genitals off anyway though.
"It has been found that a circumcised man can walk away after the sexual act, totally free of germs"
Source please.
To cut a complicated story short, the percieved difference was found to be strictly mechanical.
Or in three words 'The Entrapment of Smegma'
As well as anything else, fluff from clothes and dust, a veritable breeding ground should germs lodge there.
Which of course they do, whenever a flaciid man pulls back...
during the sexual act his foreskin closes over and entraps germs in a very sensitive damp area.
Woman produce more smegma than men. Women also have "a very sensitive damp area", and theirs is a lot harder to clean than a man's, but we don't cut parts off baby girls.
Jews have their babys circumcised at 8 days old,! It takes 3 seconds with a special circular blade ...
The speed isn't really the point.
... and there is never any need for any dressing, as there is virtually no blood.
Really? This is from last month:
"Kaplan Medical Center doctors saved the life of a newborn baby who on Wednesday was seriously injured by a mohel during his circumcision and lost a third of his blood."http://www.jpost.com/Israel/Article.aspx?id=179486
