A Weird weird Question

Zip · 10 Sep 2006 at 11:01

I heard awhile back from somewhere(think it was a mate thats a bit of a war nut) That if you are in the Army and you get deployed you have to be Circumcised before you are deployed to help keep things clean and infection out?

Is it true that you need to get circumcised?
Im thinking about joining but im quite fond of my hood

Complete rubbish but you do have to be very hygenic and wash often.

You're talking about the Aussie army I take it? In that case, nothing would surprise me

I'd be very suprised if they were allowed to enforce that nowadays.

Female circy has to be infinately more painful than a male one

I hope people don't confuse Female circumcision (an elective, positive procedure which is desired by the person in question) with Female Genital Mutilation (the slice-it-all-off stuff beloved of the Daily Mail.)

Safe, maybe. But is it clean? Probably not. (smelly mould build-up, etc)

WTF? You really should never ever ever be getting any sort of mould there. and yes, if you actually wash once a day (Like everyone should anyway) then it's perfectly fine.

:edit: Ooo I broke 5k and I didn't even notice.

Well I don't know, do I? From what I've heard, the extra skin in question harbours all sorts of undesired... "build-up".

Hmm... can't say I've ever had that problem. AFAIK there is no need for circumcision for most people.

The usual crap spouted by the pro-circ brigade.

Good luck on finding anything on circumcision on the internet that isn't hideously biased.
