Recent medical studies have cited connections between men whose sexual organs are left intact and higher rates of STDs,michael kors factory outlet. We’ll come around to that later, though.First of all, male circumcision has quite a history. It’s been practiced for thousands of years, for both health-related reasons and also as part of varied cultural rituals. In West African countries, this practice is mostly seen as a coming-of-age event. In contrast to other Western Counties,Coach Outlet Online, the procedure is chosen in the United States for non-religious or ritual reasons,Retro 8; there are many socio-economic factors with clear ties to circumcision rates in the United States.

Studies in Africa, where heterosexual activity is the primary mode of transmission for HIV infection, show that circumcision reduces the risk of HIV infection by almost 60%. Again, it isn’t suggested that altering a male’s sexual organs eliminates the possibility of contracting STDs, but rather it has the ability to help reduce the transmission rate.Many parents may choose to leave their son’s sex organ intact for financial reasons, as many states’ Medicaid plans funding for this type of procedure on an infant. This puts many financially disadvantaged males and their future or current partners at risk. As parents or as a male debating whether or not to leave your manhood intact, it is your responsibility to exercise due diligence when making this sort of decision. Consult a medical professional such as a pediatrician, and perform your own research by referring to unbiased, credible sources such as the Center for Disease Control to assess the benefits and risks.
