by Tally on July 13, 2011
Visit https://academic.oup.com/jid/article-abstract/203/1/58/879985

Study in The Journal of Infectious Diseases, Volume 203, Issue1, pp. 58-65, (2011). doi: 10.1093/infdis/jiq015. The authors examined the baseline prevalence of penile, scrotal, and perineal/perianal human papillomavirus (HPV) in heterosexual men (HM).

Results. Having >3 lifetime female sexual partners had the greatest impact on HPV prevalence. . . . Neither condom usage nor circumcision was associated with HPV DNA prevalence.
 
Conclusion. Genital-HPV DNA detection is common in young, sexually active HM. We found HPV to be most prevalent in African men and least prevalent in men from the Asia-Pacific region. Increased numbers of sexual partners was an important risk factor for HPV DNA prevalence.

Male circumcision and sexual function in men and women: a survey-based, cross-sectional study in Denmark

by Tally on June 18, 2011
Visit https://academic.oup.com/ije/article-abstract/40/5/1367/658163

Study published in International Journal of Epidemiology, April 2011. doi: 10.1093/ije/dyr104

Background One-third of the world’s men are circumcised, but little is known about possible sexual consequences of male circumcision. In Denmark (∼5% circumcised), we examined associations of male circumcision with a range of sexual measures in both sexes.
  
Results . . . circumcised men reported more partners and were more likely to report frequent orgasm difficulties after adjustment for potential confounding factors, and women with circumcised spouses more often reported incomplete sexual needs fulfilment and frequent sexual function difficulties overall, notably orgasm difficulties and dyspareunia.
  
Conclusions Circumcision was associated with frequent orgasm difficulties in Danish men and with a range of frequent sexual difficulties in women, notably orgasm difficulties, dyspareunia and a sense of incomplete sexual needs fulfilment.

Male Circumcision and HIV Prevention: Insufficient Evidence and Neglected External Validity

by Tally on June 12, 2011
Visit https://www.ajpmonline.org/article/S0749-3797(10)00439-3/fulltext

Article in American Journal of Preventive Medicine, Volume 39, Issue 5 , Pages 479-482, November 2010. The authors discuss the "external validity" of the three African randomized control trials that examined circumcision as a preventive measure for HIV infection. The nutshell version of this discussion is that clinical conditions that show promise do not necessarily translate into a real world net benefit.

How the circumcision solution in Africa will increase HIV infections

by Tally on April 18, 2011

Journal of Public Health in Africa: How the circumcision solution in Africa will increase HIV infectionsPaper published in Journal of Public Health in Africa,  Vol 2, No 1 (2011); 2:e4. doi:10.4081/jphia.2011.e4

The article was authored by Dr. Robert S. Van Howe, a pediatrician who has studied the harmful effects of infant circumcision. In this paper, Dr. Van Howe examines the oft-cited randomized clinical trials (RCTs) performed in Africa.

Based on the evidence collected in the RCTs and presented in the numerous studies based on the RCTs, Dr. Van Howe determined that the published results are overstated and unsupported by the evidence. He concludes that the "circumcision solution is a wasteful distraction that takes resources away from more effective, less expensive, less invasive alternatives. By diverting attention away from more effective interventions, circumcision programs will likely increase the number of HIV infections."

Dr. Reed and surgical foreskin restoration

by Tally on April 1, 2011
Visit http://srsmiami.com/foreskin-restoration.html

Most men opt to restore their foreskin by non-surgical foreskin restoration methods. The linked page describes surgical foreskin restoration. The surgical technique bisects the shaft skin near the base of the penis. The exposed part of the penile shaft is enclosed in the scrotum through two slits cut in the scrotal sack. After about 3 months, a portion of the scrotal skin is cut away from the scrotum and sewed around the shaft of the penis. According to the website in early 2011, the cost of surgical foreskin restoration costs at least $7,600.

Yahoo! Video: Birth As We Know It: Circumcision

by Tally on March 19, 2011
Visit https://video.yahoo.com/watch/137649/1168883

An excerpt from the documentary, Birth As We Know It. The narrator describes the three functions of the foreskin: 1) to protect the internal mucosal tissue of the inner foreskin and the glans, 2) to provide sensory pleasure because the foreskin is erogenous tissue, and 3) to provide the gliding action during sex, which aids both the man and woman during intercourse. The video clip also shows a circumcision being performed on an infant boy.

Visit http://www.jfponline.com/Pages.asp?AID=2324&issue=September%202001

The Journal of Family Practice, September 2001 · Vol. 50, No. 9

OBJECTIVE: Our objectives were to determine if a 50% dextrose solution would reduce the percentage of circumcision procedure time a neonate spent crying by 50%, compared with water, and whether it would be similar to a dorsal penile nerve block (DPNB).

STUDY DESIGN: This was a randomized placebo-controlled blinded clinical trial.

POPULATION: We included 71 patients who were recruited from the inpatient nursery of a military community hospital over a 5-month period.

Men Do Complain

by Tally on January 19, 2011
Visit http://www.mendocomplain.com/

Men circumcised as children (and therefore without their consent) often complain about their condition. Non-therapeutic genital cutting has significant physical and psychological consequences and has no proven benefits. Unfortunately, in today's culture, men who complain are consistently treated as having something wrong with them rather than being treated as having had something wrong done to them.

Little Plastic Rings: The Ethos and Eros of Foreskin Restoration

by Tally-admin on December 24, 2010
Visit http://www.edenfantasys.com/sexis/body/foreskin-restoration-112392/

Little Plastic Rings: The Ethos and Eros of Foreskin RestorationThis is an article by Rabbit White describing foreskin restoration. This is a very good article introducing foreskin restoration to those who have no idea of the effects of their male infant circumcision or that they can undo their circumcision. The article notes, "The restoration movement is also an Internet phenomenon that speaks to a diverse community."

Ron Low, of TLC Tugger fame, is featured, along with Wayne Griffiths of NORM. Ron describes how his wife reacted when he first broached the idea of restoring his foreskin. She has since become a staunch believer in foreskin restoration.
