is there any age limit to get circumcised?

I had a friend who was circumcised around age 35.\n\nBear in mind though, the older you are, the more painful it will be. And don't even think about sex (even solo) for a couple of months afterwards.

I have hear that Frankie is not circumcised - but that may not be correct. However, when the site is actually up and running, http://www.club18-35.co.uk/ is a good reference point.

Im totally with you. As an adult you have the right to this. I know a fella who had a vasectomy at 24. Whats the difference. If you were from a jewish family and demanded that your son be circumsized, there would be No problem. Its probably a case of saving money. I hope you get what you want soon

First of all, Teaching is not the right category for this question. Health is.\n\nSecondly, most American men are circumsized, so will not know what the heck you're talking about.\n\nThirdly, your foreskin should have been fully retractable (able to pull it all the way back) by the age of 5. If it is still that tight, you need to see a doctor NOW (you are at risk for infections and other problems). Masturbation won't do it...or it already would have opened up already.

Circumcised is less sensitive due to being unprotected by the foreskin, the effect worsens with age.  On the positive side circumcision has been demonstrated in Africa to cut AIDS transmission rates because the virus can't lurk under the foreskin waiting for chance to get in.\n4 Protection against HIV and AIDS. Another British Medical Journal article in May 2000 suggested that circumcised men are 8 times less likely to contract the HIV virus. (It is very important here to say that the risk is still far too high and that condoms and safe sex must be used - this applies also to preventing cancer of the cervix in women who have several partners.)

In Islam circumcision is not mandatory.\n\nBut because Islam says that one must not have even a drop of urine on a person (outside the organs of course) when praying five times a day, then it would be hard for those uncircumcised people as they need to clean their "thing" every prayer time.\n\nSo it is not mandatory, but highly highly highly highly highly recommended.

I would provide a docttors note and speak to the princapal or dean of students about the iincident explaining the circumsatnces. Also, schools are really hard on abscences these days, read about their policy and make sure your son/daughter does not miss more than the maximum alotted number of days for the year, otherwise they may try to keep themback a year.

If someone is going to be circumcised, this should be done at birth.

The only answer I could find to your questions on the web was a timetable of 5 - 6 weeks before you could wear tight-fitting clothes and resume "normal" activites...What I'd like to know are your thoughts about the routine circumcision of infants...my hubby and I battle about this, I say we won't do that to our son and he disagrees, says it's important to look the same and not be embarased when you grow up, I say let the kid decide when he's older.....\n\nAny thoughts?

I can't imagine there would be a "legal" limit - however,\nyou would want to wait until all of thier permanent teeth are in & to make sure they won't have to have wisdom teeth cut out, etc. I would wait until they were grown before considering something like that - besides, it's a "hip" fashion now, but fashion ( & people ) are fickle & next year it might be considered totally lame to be sportin a grille.

I have known a number of friends from England, Germany, and France who, after living here for a while, had themselves circumcised at the urging of their wife or by friends like me.\nI am still in touch with them. I asked how they liked it and how is their sexlife now. All of them liked it very much and found that whole penis sensitivity is as good if not better than being uncircumcised. Two had a tight foreskin. They are gratetful to be rid of the pain they had in intercourse. Three had general anesthesis. Two others had local. There was no pain during the procedure. There was slight discomfort for 2 to 5 days afterward. All went back to work between 1 and 2 weeks. A good resource is www.circumcision.center in Atlanta GA. This clinic under Dr. David Cornell, a skilled urologist, is one of the best I understand. There may be others less expensive. Sometimes whether you are Jewish or not, you can find a mohel through a rabbi in a synagogue near you, who will do the circumcision at a reasonable price. Be sure to check out any urologist or mohel as to how many adult circumcisions they have performed successfully. Also figure out what type you want, high and tight, loose, etc. Anyway go for it, you won't be disappointed.

Circumcision has not been shown to offer any significant health benefits. In fact, no established medical association in the world recommends routine circumcision. \n\n1.Some men develop cancer from the foreskin. However, it is important to note that 85 percent of the worlds men are not circumcised. There would be an overwhelming number of cancer deaths if that type of cancer was at all prevalent. It simply is not statistically anticipated. Breast cancer occurs ten times as much. Surely you wouldnt remove a breast to prevent cancer would you? \n2. Some say there is a risk of infection if you don't circumcise. Infections can be treated with antibiotics. Given the choice, men prefer antibiotics to cutting part of their manhood off. \n3. Some say there is a risk of cancer for the women. Again, this type of cancer would exist in huge numbers since much of the world is uncircumcised but it simply doesnt. \n4. There is a very weak argument that it should be done because its more hygenic. Surely they are kidding? Cut a piece off so we dont have to clean? And men should still clean their privates if they are circumcised. Why cut off part of something you're going to clean anyways? \n5. Anesthetic is rarely used during neonatal circumcision (because of the risk of death) and this leaves a child having a very sensitive part of his body literally cut off. Some people who are unfamiliar with life and medicine will tell you that the babies nervous system hasnt developed and he cant feel pain. Surely they are kidding. There are studies done to show that the  baby suffers immensley. In fact, sometimes the infants even pass out. \n6. The psychological and emotional longterm effects are not known. However, there are studies to indicate that men, having lost much of their sensitivity from sexual activity end up seeking deviant behavior. Also, such a devastating 'surgery' at such an early point in life has got to be scarring emotionally. \n\nIt was started in the US to prevent 'self abuse' and 'masturbatory insanity'. Now it is perpetuated by barbaric religious practices, ignorance, and people wanting to justify their own insecurities by perpetuating the trauma on their loved ones. \n\n\nDO NOT CIRCUMCISE YOU SON. \n\nIf a time comes in his life when he wants the surgery, or he is directed to do so by a doctor, then let him make the decision. \n\nyou notice how people recommending it are not citing any medical journals or statistics? They use phrases like 'i hear' or 'i think'. Below, is the AMERICAN MEDICAL ASSOCIATION's report on why they DO NOT recommend neonatal circumcision. \n\nAlso, the American Academy of Pediatrics (link below) also does not recommend neonatal circumcision. Though, they do recognize that circumcision will eliminate much of the VERY SMALL risk of developing cancer. Make note: the risk is so small that you are more at risk of developing another kind of cancer by eating non organic fruits and vegetables that have carcinogenic pesticides and chemicals in it. \nSo if you decide that there is enough risk to do that to your child, surely you also only eat organic and natural foods right? \n\nI have never met a person who has both researched the practice thoroughly AND gone through with this barbaric crime.

nobody can force you, but it is a way to keep the stds down.  especially hiv because the virus can be soaked into that area.  nothing will ever go into hole at the tip of the penis because everything is going out from there.  so, it seeps into the foreskin.  so circumsizing it will limit the area where hiv can go in.  your choie what you want to do.
