Issues Related to Circumcision

I am an uncircumcised teen due to the fact of me going into surgery as a child, and my mother having complications with birth. And I must say that in many instances I have felt very bad because of not being circumcised it is hard being an American facing the constant criticism of being uncircumcised. In addition I am studying to be a minister and according to the laws of my church in accordance with Abraham’s covenant all men are suppose to be circumcised prior to baptism.

I see no reason for me to be circumcised. Except to avoid transmitting HIV and STDs none of which I have. Nor hope to attract by sleeping with the wrong girls. There is also risk with circumcision; some of the same risk in circumcised penises tightness and the unnatural dryness of the penile shaft and head cause some men (and their partners) pain, abrasion, and bleeding during sex. Breaks in the skin are an effective way to transmit and contract sexually transmitted diseases, including HIV as well. Did you know Many circumcised men fail to recognize their own circumcision damage and assume that peculiar things about their penis are ‘normal’ or ‘a birth defect I would not go as far as some to say circumcision is mutilation if necessary the procedure should be done. However for us uncircumcised guys the perception of the uncircumcised penis is key.

In my 10th grade high school class I represent the one percent male population that is uncircumcised out side of some of the Hispanic/ Latino population. When the issue of circumcision is brought up in my class foreskin is always referred to as a disease or bacteria. What should I do to open the eyes of my peers to see that it is not all that bad or nasty as some girls would call me although I am by far the most hygienically sound /clean male in the room I would say. In many ways this lessens my chances of ever having sex with any girl in my class due to their upbringing on the matter of circumcision.

It is a very disturbing logic to me in many ways uncircumsion and foreskin is shown as much bias as the lesbian and gay communities quest to redefined human relations. I understand that it is normal to fear the unknown but I would encourage people to find out how an uncircumcised penis looks. I hope you understand my point of view. God Bless.
