Well, financial cost aside, think about the long term psychological and emotional costs.

Why do you want to do it? You got a problem with your foreskin? The good for health excuse doesn't hold any water.

Well, let's look at the diseases.

STD's: All sexually active individuals should be checked regularly for STD's. So, std's check.

Fungal, bacterial, viral, blablabla infections: Personal hygiene. If you clean it, you risk it alot less. Also, regular cleaning alerts you to any on comming infections, if you have something check it out. So, this one check.

What else?

These problems are all avoidable if the individuals involved are responsible, hygienic people.

True, but urine is considered to be fairly sterile until it comes with contact with outside contaminants. Contagious? What is it carrying for you to contract? Remember urine comes out of your, so if it came out with it, you have it.

If you cannot retract your foreskin behind your penis head, usually you're gonna want to get a snipsnip done. There's really no two ways about this, then again one can always say "Imma bleed with my woman on the night we share our virginity!" but that's really...

Not going to argue, lazy, believe what you want.

Keeping it clean is a matter of personal hygiene, if you need to cut skin off to keep it clean, you have habbitual problems.

What problems? If you heard them, by all means share them.

Hygiene? Soap and water. If you need a circumcision to keep your penis clean I'd hate to imagine what you'd need to keep yer butt clean.

Disease(s)? Examples?

Phimosis is not a disease, it's a defect.

Paraphimosis, do you know anyone who's actually had this happen? In anycase, it's not a disease.

Sexy? Subjective. Some people are attracted by rotting corpses, would you consider that sexy? Probably not.

The majority if individuals with phimosis have it because it's something that happened during their developement. Having a circumcision doesn't mean you won't get phimosis, there are complications one can encounter with circumcisions which can cause secondary phimosis.

I'm not skeptical, if you want a circumcision by all means get one, but don't go saying "it's good for health, it's cleaner" and crap like that. Most of the so called advantages are only advantages because people lack basic personal hygiene. If you're gonna post what you consider to be "pro's" to circumcision, post the con's aswell.

Oh and hell yes I'm afraid of a razor slicing part of my penis off, any man who isn't afraid of losing part of their penis is either crazy, stupid or both.

If I had to go without a bath for 2 days chances are... The smell of my weener wouldn't be at the top of my priority list.

If you had a problem reaching areas, chances are your foreskin wasn't formed right. I've never gotten sticky(?) from the slightest touch(?). Since you mentioned being unable to reach certain areas, perhaps your heightened sensivity down there was a result of an infection?

After circumcision, you don't have to worry anymore? Well the majority of the uncircumsized don't have to worry about it to begin with...

So... If you're lazy... Slice it off? I find it hard to believe people are THAT lazy. If you have a physiological reason to cut it off, cut it off. If religion requires it of you, cut it off. Hell, if you think it looks better or just want to for fun, cut it off... But if you're lazy to wash it... What the funbucket... Why not jump off a bridge?

I assume you the tips of your fingers chopped off to avoid having to cut your nails and had your scalp removed so you don't have to wash your hair?

Merged the threads.

If you have a question on the subject already being discussed, ask it in the same thread.

Local anaesthesia and general anaesthesia. Local means you only numb the affected area, general puts you to sleep.

Subject to one's personal beliefs? Some religions say to circumcise, some don't.

It desensitizes it, sure, that's not necessarily a bad thing, subjective? Some people can't go as long and that helps, others can go all the way circumcised or not.

Protection... If you read the thread, you'll find that there are reasons to believe that circumcising does provide some level of protection. Though I don't really see what's the point, safe sex and STD screening should be standard with anyone who's sexually active.
Looks are subjective? Some people prefer it that way, other's don't. Color... Again, subjective.

The main topic, stay on it people. If you can't stay on topic, kopitiam is the place you wanna be.
