A member asked:
Need advice on what is the the point of being circumcised?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Religious reasons: Circumcision is part of being a muslim, jew, or some other religion. Circumcision is also a right of passage from chid to manhood with many african tribes. It is also ok if father or brothers are circumcised and johnny doesn't or might not want to look different to them. Avoids phimosis & balanitis.Cleaner if u don't wash under foreskin.Avoids penile cancer in the unwashed. Less hiv/aids in africa.
