Circumcision

This act is what defines a man and that is the act of Circumcision.

• Actually when I was coming from Jaisalmer to Mumbai by train in March 2016, I met a Doctor who got on at Baroda and got down at Vapi.
• During discussion he told that he had heard from another Doctor from Chennai that Muslims have less chance to suffer from cancer because they have done circumcision.
• At that time I stayed quiet and didn't think much about it but now months have passed and I am able to think rationally but to be honest I am still not clear about it.
• Like we hear on radio "Actor calling Akthar", where Farhan Akhtar calls his dad Javed Akhtar and poses some question to him. Javed Akhtar has been imitated as he does shows in a Channel on Tata Sky "Active Javed Akhtar" and he says "Dekho bete halaki isme do raye hai...arz karta hoon mulayza farmao" and goes on.
• What it means that in some cases we can have two different views and both the views will appear right.
• Circumcision is that kind of area.
• We know all Jews are bound to do Circumcision by religion and so do Muslims.
• Nowhere we find that it is bound in Christianity. Still much of United States, Australia and Canada follow this practice.
• Also interesting in South Korea it is common maybe as a fallout of the Korean war when there was American influence.
• Is circumcision necessary?
• The origin can be traced to "pleasure". When one person is circumcised, he cannot stimulate his penis and indulge in masturbation. The traditional religions of the world prohibit masturbation.
• They say that one drop of semen is equal to 100 drops of blood.
• It is a fact that when one is circumcised one cannot masturbate.
• Hence to get the benefit of the circumcision one has to be circumcised at a very young age.
• It should happen before he becomes aware of these facts related to sex and stimulation.
• Thus to to get the full benefit one has to be circumcised when one is a baby or a young boy.
• Then again is it necessary?
• Does one drop of semen equal 100 drops of blood.
• Doctors have dismissed this view and say that semen is being continually produced by the body and if it is not released through masturbation or sexual activity, it will come out during night as nightfall. 
• Pleasure is bad. But calling out to God is good. And that is the reason for circumcision. Even females get circumcised in some countries because they feel "pleasure" will ruin their societies and make their societies "adulterous".
• Even in Christianity we find nuns who have left their worldly life and dedicate themselves towards God. But they do not get circumcised do they.
• World over people are getting the view that female circumcision is barbaric and should be done away with.
• But if female circumcision is bad, so should male circumcision be.
• A male baby or young boy will get circumcised and will not be aware why it being done. He will realise it when he grows up and will know that he was subjected to choices which were not in his control.
• Does circumcision prevent cancer? This "C" word is something which everyone dreads. I have also heard "Cancer, No Answer". 
• Now why cancer happens is itself a very big mystery.
• But common sense should be a banana. We know a banana has a covering/peel. That covering/peel keeps it safe. To eat a banana we remove the peel and eat it. A banana remains safe due to the peel. Think about it. Due the peel the banana lasts for days and weeks. Once we remove the peel the bana gets spoiled in a matter of hours.
• Similarly is a man's penis. think of the foreskin as a peel of the banana. When the skin covering is removed, does the penis become safer?
• Over a period of time the skin becomes thicker after brushing against fabric of underwear and the pants. The foreskin is naturally thicker and original foreskin also has more than 20000 nerve endings. All will be lost when a male child or man undergoes circumcision and the foreskin is removed.
• Also we find a higher incidence of prostrate cancer among Americans. Now it could be due to higher consumption of red meat over decades or it could be due to circumcision. We just don't know.
• Like I had said things for men are not simple. Like women men too have complicated issues and one of the major one relate to circumcision.
• It is something which is not necessary I feel. But if we look at religion they do it to prevent "pleasure from self stimulation", loss of semen. Sexually Transmittable Diseases may be avoided upon circumcision but when one is too much Sexually Active with multiple partners. If one has just one wife with limited sexual activity it just doesn't matter whether one is circumcised or not.
• Also religions may have prescribed it for hygiene issues and to avoid "non essential sexual activity" i.e. one which does not involve for propagating oneself (for children).
• But without circumcision also one can stay clean by retracting the foreskin and cleaning the area.
