A wash cloth before and after sex or a good blow job from a clean mouth are equally effective and leave the pleasure zones intact! Or castrattion! That would eliminate any kind of danger from that source!

Making it a taboo to compare male with female sexual mutilation is the biggest scandal of the controversy. In both instances the most sensitive and most erogenous zone of the human body is amputated and severely damaged. In both instances, what counts primarily is the cutting of human sexuality. The imposition of control by the patriarchy. A good look at a book on embryology will show the development of the nerves and tissue and how they are the same.

What is lacking in all the talk about circumcision is discussion of its archeological dimension - that it is the left over of human sacrifice. What kind of god is it that demands that of an infant? If the Bris constitutes the identity of the male, what about the identity of a Jewish girl? Or is this an entirely homosexual ceremony?

Also, unfortunately it is / has been circumcision that has MADE for no end of anti-semitic sentiments. Freud found that it was the chief reason for unconscious anti-Semitism. And the myths surrounding it are at the core of the “blood libel.” Thus, it's time to eliminate the Brit Milah because if that is the chief reason for being anti-Semitic or anti-Abrahamic [Islam too practices the rite] then why hang on to this left-over of human sacrifice? that traumatizes the child, cutting off 5,000 nerves, that is the equivalent of female circumcision in the sense that it eliminates everything but the clitoris,and only serves the Ultra Orthodox to maintain their power? After all, reform Judaism sought to eliminate the rite in the 19th century, and Jewish identity depends on being born by a Jewish mother, or converting. Here a link to an archive of the entire German and then some debate, note especially Michael Wolffsohn's two pieces . Circumcision has been controversial also within Jewry forever.

What is the point of this article? It seems like praise of how great the authors of the 3 RCTs are for finding such similar results. However, when we look at any meta-analysis study, we see very large spreads from one study to the next; do the nearly identical results of these 3 studies somehow make them more believable?

Studies of HIV rates within Kenya don't even come close to matching Bailey's study there. And if we compare the 2006 HIV rates between neighboring Uganda and Kenya, we see that uncircumcised Uganda (25% circ rate) had a lower HIV infection rate than circumcised Kenya (85% circ rate). So we see that those amazing studies didn't even extrapolate well to the countries in which the studies were made.

I really don't see the point of this article.
