There's been alot of buzz lately around the news that circumcision reduces the chance to get the HPV virus - warts (in this case, genital warts). This is not news, people. The basic idea here is that if you cut off a body part it won't get sick. DUH! We don't need scientists wasting money with studies to find these things out. So now it's even quantified how much. Guess what? There's already a

I haven't forgotten that I hate circumcision. I just haven't been a frequent blogger. I still read everything that comes up online. There are a few good recent posts out there. I find some of them by just searching "circumcision" on blogsearch.google.com. Rolling Doughnut is a favorite spot that I go back to time and again.Is Promoting Male Circumcision as Prevention ethical?If circumcision was

My "too tired for sex" post gathered the most comments of any post on my sparse blog, so I want to reiterate my point. Hopefully, It'll be a little more clear now.I love my wife very much, but she causes me great pain when she rejects me sexually, especially since I cannot understand her explanations.I married her for a couple reasons:I enjoyed being around her all the time - we like the same

I found a new reason why I would be better off not circumcised. The other day I was chopping jalapenos and habaneros when I needed a bathroom break. I must have not washed my hands enough before going because my glans burned like fire until I took a cold bath to cool it down. Where circumcision comes in is I noticed my glans and circumcision scar were glowing beet red, but none of my shaft skin

Just a quick post, there's a recent news story here about a case moving up the Oregon court system where a custodial father wants to circumcise his 12 year old because he (the father) has converted to Judaism. The ex-wife/mother is suing to stop it.What I find stupefying is the title of the news "Religious Rights on Trial as Circumcision Case Reaches Oregon’s High Court" You couldn't find a

People have noticed that some circumcising countries have lower AIDS rates than non circumcising countries in Africa. However comparing USA (a circumcising country) to Europe, Japan, Australia (non circumcising regions) you get an opposite result.Finally someone has made some sense of all this here. It's a classic causation vs correlation confusion. Circumcision advocates were touting it as a

Confound (freedictionary.com):1. To cause to become confused or perplexed.2. To fail to distinguish; mix up: confound fiction and fact.3. To make (something bad) worse: Do not confound the problem by losing your temper.4. To cause to be ashamed; abash: an invention that confounded the skeptics.The first time I heard the word "confound" was in a graduate class where the professor was teaching us

This post is for all you ladies out there that say you're too tired for sex with your man. You might want to rethink if you knew what he was really hearing you say.I'm a man, obviously, but I'm also pretty sure that I'm a normal man when I say I've wanted sex every day of my life since I was about 13. The only time in my life I got nearly that much was when we were newlyweds, but now with one kid

There's been alot of press lately covering two studies in Africa that show circumcised men contracting HIV at a slower rate than uncircumcised men. Pushing aside all the debate over what this does or doesn't mean, I want to know why there's so little press attention given to contradicting studies. For example an even newer study has shown that African adolescents who are still virgins, but have

I have a love-hate relationship.... with my car. I love the car, hate the price.The pros:FUN FUN FUN.All Wheel Drive all weather traction.Turbo power.A real back seat.Awesome reliability.The cons:$520/month car note.premium fuel bill.Got raped on trade-in.Trunk too small for baby stuff.It's a 2002 Subaru Impreza WRX sedan that I bought new in early 2003. Now with the baby, I keep kicking myself

Anyone who knows me well knows that I'm strongly opposed to circumcision, but I've found it difficult to change the opinions of proponents and convince relatives I was doing the right thing by leaving my son intact.The reason I'm opposed is becaused although the risks are low, I suffered from a side effect until I was about 20 and could find the cause and remedy. So it's very emotional to me, but
