Get circumcised? For one thing, there are lots of women who won't have sex with a man who isn't. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

Henry Hill did it when he converted to Judaism. The President is a fink. |

I wouldn't know. They seemed good at finding plenty of other reasons in the case of my single days. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |

Women have told me that they might do it once because they were caught unawares, but they drop the guy after. They find it unattractive and a carrier of diseases that women don't appreciate if the guy isn't real clean about himself. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I would guess that this is the most common reason an adult would do it. At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent. |

Nope. Infections in that area can lead to strictures, and once the doctor has decided to cut them often a circumcision is the needed procedure to finish it. I'm not saying religious conversion isn't a reason, just that I don't think I've ever been involved in one for that reason, and have been involved in many for infection/stricture reasons. |

| petroglyph Member since: Aug 3, 2014 Threads: 25 Posts: 6227 | That makes a lot more sense as to possibly why the practice got started, rather than "God told them to". It was a solution to a problem. Otherwise it seems like a pretty barbaric practice to do to infants. The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW |

That is my theory too. This topic reminds me of the movie The Invention of Lying, which I highly recommend. I think it answers the question of why we started religion and why it works. Knowledge is Good -- Emil Faber |
