I'm glad I read the article posted by Tracy Clark-Flory [2006-12-13]
about male circumcision. First let me be clear I'm a straight African descent male, and what pains me the most is when I hear the crazy numbers of HIV/AIDS cases found in Africa and in our African descent communities around the world. In America, male circumcision normally takes place at child birth, and after it heals it still functions the same. Some like a friend of mine will get theirs later in life. I have fathered two kids I know about others I don't about. However, if a circumcised male lowers the chances of HIV/AIDS from being spread or contracted then everything to make this happen is worth the effort for saving lives. Last year the latest count tallied was 14 million Africans died or contracted the AIDS virsus. We need to stop killing ourselves for 15 minutes of fun, and do whatever to lower the chances and sacrifice that little piece of skin.
All you penis envy women out there, you need mental help for this effort is to save your butt too!
CG Peace!
