-2	German circumcision ban: Is it a parent's right to choose? (x-post r/XYChromosomes) The cell phone analogy isn't valid because 1) cancer isn't contagious or hereditary like AIDS is, 2) people in developed societies have easy access to volumes of information on the subject, unlike poor Africans who rely on tradition (and whoever yells the loudest) in lieu of the Internet to guide their decision-making, and 3) the worst parts of Africa are in desperate need of aid for the benefit of public health and security. If the government acted like this in a western country, libertarian op…	/r/MensRights	09/08/12 09:38 PM
-1	German circumcision ban: Is it a parent's right to choose? (x-post r/XYChromosomes) Then why have you not mentioned some of the very concerning reports that they think getting circumcised means they don't have to practice safe sex? It's a distressing phenomenon, but it's not an excuse not to do the program. That's like saying we shouldn't put airbags in cars because then people will think they'll be safe without buckling their seatbelt. It's simply a call for better education and awareness. That's why so many are lining up to have it done, right? And why campaigns have rapidly …	/r/MensRights	09/08/12 08:39 PM
-5	German circumcision ban: Is it a parent's right to choose? (x-post r/XYChromosomes) Well, infants grow up, right? Listen, in the impoverished areas of Africa, people don't know the pros and cons to circumcision. I'm not faulting them, but they are ignorant. They act according to superstition and custom; these are people who believe that having sex with a virgin will cure you of AIDS. Letting them decide whether or not they want to be circumcised would be a disaster because they would not act rationally or listen to "foreign" science. The only time to circumcise them is in infan…	/r/MensRights	09/08/12 08:05 PM
-4	German circumcision ban: Is it a parent's right to choose? (x-post r/XYChromosomes) Such criticisms are standard in the scientific community. This one didn't make much of a splash or sway scientific opinion away from the original results. Why else do you think that scientific publications such as the one I linked above are continuing to write about the efficacy of circumcision in preventing HIV? It has broad support for a reason. And here's a newer study that supports the mentioned hypothesis. I don't know why everyone here is refusing to yield the smallest bit of ground on thi…	/r/MensRights	09/08/12 07:54 PM
-5	German circumcision ban: Is it a parent's right to choose? (x-post r/XYChromosomes) You haven't stated how it's a flawed study. You're just getting butthurt because the results don't mesh with your entrenched opinion. Give me a decent link showing how it's flawed. And don't bring any of that nonsensical surface area bullshit. On the contrary, I have a better grasp on this subject than you do, considering that you're the one who mentioned a false, uncited statistic, while I bring facts to the table. And those "sound bites" I'm posting are coming from the study itself, not from s…	/r/MensRights	09/08/12 07:27 PM
-1	German circumcision ban: Is it a parent's right to choose? (x-post r/XYChromosomes) There is no downside to waiting until the individual is old enough to decide for himself. In developed countries where STI's aren't rampant, absolutely. In AIDS-ravaged sub-Saharan Africa, they don't have this luxury. Infant circumcision makes the most sense when attempting to fight HIV transmission efficiently.	/r/MensRights	09/08/12 07:09 PM
-7	German circumcision ban: Is it a parent's right to choose? (x-post r/XYChromosomes) Are you kidding? You just look desperate now. "In fact, the foreskin's anatomical function actually amplifies the risks. In uncircumcised men the foreskin covers and protects the tip of the penis, paradoxically making the skin there more delicate and prone to microscopic abrasions. These tiny injuries promote inflammation, Fauci says, allowing the virus to come into closer contact with target immune cells. The moist environment that forms under the foreskin also enhances the growth of microbes o…	/r/MensRights	09/08/12 06:58 PM
-9	German circumcision ban: Is it a parent's right to choose? (x-post r/XYChromosomes) 0.03 percent...? How about 60 percent? The body of evidence on this effect is significant. I think slightly decreased sexual stimulation is a miniscule price to pay for better penile hygiene and lower HIV contraction in the world's most desperate places. EDIT: "...investigators discovered that circumcision cut HIV transmission rates by 55 to 65 percent. In fact, all three trials were stopped early due to the overwhelming evidence of circumcision's protective effect"	/r/MensRights	09/08/12 06:42 PM
-11	German circumcision ban: Is it a parent's right to choose? (x-post r/XYChromosomes) Circumcision is not entirely cosmetic; it has been proven to lower HIV contraction rates. I'm not trying to ignite a debate, but can you at least admit that a circumcision initiative in AIDS-ridden African countries is a good idea? Keep in mind, these circumcisions would have no religious significance, and have already been proven as an effective, cheap way to fight the spread of HIV.	/r/MensRights	09/08/12 06:34 PM
-7	German circumcision ban: Is it a parent's right to choose? (x-post r/XYChromosomes) That's a deeply flawed argument. Parents make important choices on behalf of their children every day. Including medical decisions.	/r/MensRights	09/08/12 06:25 PM
1	Small dick I hear you end up with a "turkey neck" down there after too much jelqing. Be wary.	/r/seduction	27/03/12 02:01 PM
1	Small dick You can go down on a girl in pretty much any intimate setting. In fact, I usual initiate oral before she does to me. Combine oral with fingering, and she's putty in your hands.	/r/seduction	27/03/12 02:00 PM
