The Kindest Cut Of All?
According to a Reuters news report yesterday, researchers at the World Health Organization reported that circumcising men routinely across Africa, could prevent millions of deaths from AIDS.The data showed that men who had been circumcised, had a significantly lower rate of infection from the AIDS virus. The report projected that if all African men were circumcised over the next 10 years, new infections would be reduced by 2 million and deaths reduced by 300,000.
It is thought that the cells and the warm wet environment in the foreskin, foster the susceptibility to HIV infection.
The quoted figures for African infection and death rates are staggering. The main method of infection is heterosexual. The report drew a comparison between West Africa, where circumcision is common and HIV infections low, and Southern Africa where the reverse is true.
In the Western world, circumcision is portrayed as a traumatic disfigurement of a male baby, with some parents flatly refusing to consider it. FuelMix is not suggesting that mere circumcision is sufficient to protect against HIV infection, but wonders whether parents should be re-thinking their attitudes.
By way of observation, FuelMix’s next door neighbours, a pair of middle aged white breeders with 2 barely legal aged boys, recently approached FuelMix, flushed with embarrassment: they wanted to know whether FuelMix was cut. When asked why, they confided that their 2 boys both of whom were uncut, were developing recurring foreskin infections requiring antibiotics.
FuelMix announced he was cut and suggested the breeders sit down with their boys and explain personal hygene. There was a good chance that they would become, or already were, sexually active. Failing that, get a doctor to tell them.
The breeders enquired whether it was too late to get them circumcised. FuelMix suggested they speak to their doctor and have a frank discussion with the 2 legal aged "men" about their future and their options.
Footnote: the boys are too ugly to be gay and declined to go under the knife.

awww Fuel...the boys are too ugly to be gay?? Aren't we being a tad smug??
ReplyDeleteI never bought into the idea that circumcision was mutilation. To me it's a necessary health and aesthetic procedure which needs to come back as a widely accepted practice. You can either be realistic or end up with boys and men with infected dicks whether or not they've been fucking around. Seems to me the more you can do to protect yourself at an early stage the better.
ReplyDeleteThe "Euro circumcision" is very hot: slices the skin beneath the cock head so the foreskin slides easily and completely back, but does not remove anything. Much easier to clean and stay clean and definitely very hot for sex.
ReplyDeleteI've only heard it called the Euro circumcision - is there another term?
