Posted by Broadway Lion on Mon Nov 22 16:53:26 2004, in response to Circumcision Re: Street Brawl, posted by aem7 on Mon Nov 22 14:00:49 2004.  Health reasons? Yes there are some valid ones. But there's no reason to circumcise except when infections do develop, I think. I have to care for elderly men as part of my nursing practice. It *is* easier to clean the circumcised than the uncircumcised. Having to take hold of that part, and pull back the skin, and then clean the sensitive skin underneath can be very uncomfortable for the patient, especially if he has issues with other guys doing it, although some of my clients would have issues with women doing it for them too. It is much easier to clean that place with a quick pass with the wash cloth while helping or changing them without having to make a production of it. Sometimes the foreskin is tight and it can be painful to clean it for them, others have more skin there and have no problem. One client insisted that he *was* circumcised when obviously he had no clue as to what circumcision consisted of. Sheesh, the guy *was* a football jock in his day, he *must* have seen other kids in the locker room. No Clue. Oh Well, I wasn't following this thread until we went here so I do not know what your issues were that prompted this line of discussion. No, I'd not circumcise some one on the 'chance that they may get infected', but I would recommend it if you have other reasons for doing so. |
