Why don't you anteaters pull your foreskins over your heads & enjoy the smell. If you don't agree with circumcision fine! Just leave the rest of us alone that know better from experience.
Circumcision is genital mutilation any way you slice it. In healthy, non-consenting infants, it is a violation of basic human rights. Shouldn't "researchers" be seeking to displace invasive surgical procedures, not preserve them? Is there any research being done in other kinds of HIV prevention? 34 "studies" presented in Vienna focused on finding ways to pawn circumcision on Africans. Can't "researchers" focus on anything else? Studying ways to necessitate surgery is backwards thinking.
Let me translate these circumcision findings for you. Intact gay men don't want it! They know the risks and they prefer to keep their natural genitals as they are. Now how about backing off the "circumcisioncansavetheworld" meme and get back down to what works - outreach, condoms, testing, treatment, and more outreach until we have a cure or a vaccine.

At the recent 2010 Symposium for Genital Autonomy we heard from lawyers and researchers who have been documenting the connections of the pro circumcision cabal with cir-cum-fetish websites. The comment here from Alan I is typical of the vile and irrational comments from the pro-circ cabal. Genital integrity rights for all children will supersede the junk science and racist manipulations of the "roll out the African circumcision campaign."
