Are you Circumsized?

[Dodece]

A health benefit is a health benefit period. Preventative medicine is about playing the field. Minimize as many health risk as possible no matter how small each one is, because as a host they have a very high likelihood of occurring. Your chance of getting one particular disease is small. The chance of getting a disease is relatively large. In America we have a very high degree of public sanitation. Yet we still inoculate children for diseases born from poor sanitation. Why well better safe then sorry.

A sentiment I am sure a lot of guys who contracted these diseases, or helped their own infection along would probably agree with. I am sure a number of guys who got venereal diseases most specifically the incurable ones would gladly have taken a five percent greater chance of avoiding infection. I am sure there is a guy out there pissing fire right now that feels the same. Doctors always recommend preventative hygiene, but while it is smart it is also inconvenient. There will be times in life where you don't have soap. There will be times when your not in your right mind. People have, do, and always will make mistakes.

The counter argument is mostly born of fear. Why make the point about an extremely rare form of complication when the likelihood of contracting a disease is far higher. Why not point out the very devastating complications of contracting some of these diseases. Some of when result in things such as impotency, sterility, insanity, and death. Fine you like your foreskin, but lets not play it being a pointless procedure, that is simply not the case.

The chances of me being in a car accident any day are a thousand to one. That doesn't mean I save myself the time of putting on a seat belt. There are a lot of unlikely things in the world that doesn't mean you tempt fate. A out patient operation that is an hour in and out. Just isn't a thing you should be as terrified of as having a higher likelihood of contracting a disease you did not need to.

Once again being scared doesn't mean you ignore the consequences of not doing something. You just accept the higher risk. I need to up my Tetanus booster, but I am not rushing to the doctor to get one. Why well I fucking hate needless, and its a common enough disease. Both very painful and very deadly. Now I hope I do not get a puncture wound, but no so stupid as to think it will never happen. I fear that day scared to death of needless, but also scared enough of the disease. Do not want to find out which will win out. Anyway I know I am fucking asking for trouble. Doesn't mean I am just going to write it off and pretend its not real.
