A member asked:
Can you tell me if there are actually any benefits to circumcision..?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes 4 tight foreskin: There are no health benefits from circumcision if foreskin retracts easily and subject keeps his penis clean. There are reports from Africa that it reduces risk of HIV by 50%. However, if there are considerable benefits if foreskin is too tight to retract easily (phimosis) as subject will now be able to remove smegma with ease, keep penis nice & sex will be much pleasanter.
