Do you have any additional thoughts or comments on the forest situation? (optiona l )
No graph available for this question
32 voters have answered this question.
If you lived naturally in the forest for a week... would you rather be intact or cut? Consider the cons to both: Cut: Increased sunburn on an exposed glans / lack of protection against rubbing if running through tall grass / brush or crawling on ground ... Intact: Possible increase in urinary tract infections to that of the level of girls, possible increase in smell from not bathing as regularly.
| 43% (159) | In the forest... intact. | |

| 56% (210) | In the forest... cut. |

Do you think that we evolved to be always born with a foreskin for a reason? Compare circumcision (conformity, minor disease protection in exchange for minor disfigurement ) to additional nerve-endings, the moisture and protection, and the additional skin for movement and function for sexual intercourse... yet more of a smell if you dont take a shower for a few days.
| 43% (160) | Yes it is important. | |
|---|---|---|
| 51% (191) | No, everyone can live without it. | |
| 4% (18) | I think that its important, but overall I still prefer circumcision because everyone from around here is cut. If that changes then I will not have my kids circumcised. |

In the USA, the circumcision rate is very high. Do you feel that if, like other countries, almost nobody was circumcised, people would still feel the need for the procedure based on only the slight medical benefits in exchange for uncommon disfigurement / pleasure + function + protection decrease / other things?
| 60% (224) | I hope so. | |
|---|---|---|
| 39% (145) | Absolutely not. |
