here's an idea: buy a condom.

 

[Mrs Behavin]

A condom wont prevent you from getting HIV.

 

[JMilley]

why not

 

[Mrs Behavin]

It might help some but I would just assume not to have sex with someone that has HIV than to take a risk and use a condom

 

[Haus]

yeah what if that condom breaks. then you could be fucked.

 

[JMilley]

then it doesn't matter if you are circumcised or not. people get infected because their partners don't know they are, that's why you need a condom every time.

 

[hhayes]

condom every time yes, but it isn't 100% protection from hiv

 

[JMilley]

I'd better use a condom every time than just get circumcised

well most male babys are circumcised at birth.

well most male babys are circumcised at birth.

I think it was 60% of boys (in US) in the penn & teller video

 

[hhayes]

you watched a video? :gay

 

[JMilley]

well they make this show called "bullshit" and the name speaks for itself. basically it proves that circumcision is useless, not to mention the pain the baby has to go through.

I was circumcised at birth and dont remember feeling pain...

 

[JMilley]

OK but you did feel pain. Just imagine you being a baby and some asshole just cuts off part of your dick.

I was unaware that foreskin had a lot of nerve endings. I thought is was tough like the skin on the elbow or knee cap.

^Circumcision was invented in the late 1800's by some crazy motherfucker who believed that if we cut off the foreskin, boys wouldn't want to "touch themselves down there".

The practice of male genital mutilation is far older than recorded history. Certainly, it is far older than the Biblical account of Abraham (Genesis 17). It seems to have originated in eastern Africa long before this time.

It looks like my comment was misleading. Circumcision was practiced to get rid of masturbation.
