Just about choked on the old supper this evening when watching the BBC news regarding the fact that circumcision has been found to cut the chances of contracting HIV/Aids. Had to splutter when I saw the name of the expert who came on to expand on the subject.

Check it out on the BBC website. No tittering at the back ;o)

Good grief, Scorrie - you're incorrigible! The things you notice; I would have missed it - honest.

on a serious note though.. in this country you can not get a boy circumsised thru the NHS. as i tried to get both of mine circumsised.
was not to happy about it.. and if we had decided to get it done would have gone well down south to have it done.
it is considered cosmetic.. and they refuse.. the only way they will do it.. is if it has to do with your religious beliefs.. im still not happy with it..

Thats the 1st thing that I thought watching it on telly last night. Poor guy some people have nae luck

I read a report on this twenty years ago with regards to homosexual y. Admittedly there was no 'scientific proof' but the anecdotal evidence and common sense pointed to the fact that if you do not have a foreskin then the chances of retaining and later adsorbing an infected persons body fluids are vastly reduced.

Why should we pay to give your sons cosmetic surgery? The NHS is right to save our money. If God had meant us to be that way, we wouldn't be born needing an operation.

but its not cosmetic surgery,
it reduces the risk of infection.. and its a lot more sanitary

We'll disagree on that one Brandy. It is body modification and that is a thing that should be decided upon by the person who's body it is, when they are old enough to take an informed decision.
