    Go ask around the medical community and you’ll discover quite a few didn’t handle it well. Kids don’t do a good job of washing.

    I have, and this isn’t true. it’s also not supported by the medical documentation available. Instructing kids, especially when you start from an early age, to develop proper hygiene habits is pretty easy. I’ve even borne witness to it many times personally, although I’m not necessarily offering my personal experience as proof.

    It’s highly relevant

    not when you’re making claims about everyone everywhere. what matters there is evidence to back up your claims, which you have yet to provide.

    so, since you were the one who initially made such claims… please back them up from reliable sources such as the AMA, for example.

      I have, and this isn’t true.

      I’ve got a friend who is a PA that has given me some very unpleasant stories about infected foreskins.

      Instructing kids, especially when you start from an early age

      Sure. People can do lots of things if they are instructed well at an early age. But then people aren’t instructed well. And that’s where you run into problems.

      I’ve even borne witness to it many times personally

      Fascinated to hear all the times you watched someone else wash their dick

      not when you’re making claims about everyone everywhere

      Yes. These are universal problems for the male population. And circumcision is one solution so popular and so common that it’s practiced the world over.

      you were the one who initially made such claims

      I assure you that I’m not the first person to suggest the benefits of circumcision.

        OK kid come back when you have some actual evidence to back up your claims, lol

        Your anecdotal claims amount to a pile of nothing but personal preference in Internet story time. And while you are perfectly welcome to your personal opinions, you are not entitled to spread claims of “truth“ without backing it up with actual evidence from trusted sources.

            What? Some guy you could’ve easily just made up to try to make a point in some anonymous Internet forum?

            That’s the point of verified scientific studies from trusted scientific institutions. I don’t have to take your word for it. I can take their word for it. And you still haven’t provided any actual evidence to back up any of your claims.
