I remember a high school teacher who over and over drilled it into our heads that you can't believe everything you read. However, seeing something in print makes it the gospel truth for many people and this site is a case in point for this.
This guy tells the story of the men who got sand in their penis that caused problems. It is clearly a case of someone who has no clue of what they are talking about. Let's look at this with just a teeny tiny bit of reason and logic that seems to escape virtually everyone.
First, how do these men's penis come into such intimate contact with the sand? I know many guys have this fantasy of having a penis that drags behind them on the ground as they walk if they are nude but that just doesn't happen. How does their penis come in such intimate contact with the ground when they are fully clothed? Now, if it were a weekend at the beach, I could possibly see it but that's not what we are talking about and at the beach, when you get sand on yourself, the first time you go in the water, it all falls off. Why doesn't urine rinse this sand out the same way the water at the beach washes it off of your body? Well, the truth is that it would.
Why is it that women can go to the beach and not get these infection causing sand grains impacted in their nether regions. If you look at the differences in anatomy, the female's parts will be in solid contact with the sand when they sit yet a man's genitals are on the front of the body and do not come in contact with the sand as a female's would. Why aren't females plagued with these infections from sand?
Finally, from the premise of this argument, for this irritation and the resulting infection to occur, there would have to be significant movement between the foreskin and glans and in fact, there is virtually none. If there was this movement between the parts, men would constantly be on the verge of an orgasm. This whole argument is just stupid, stupid, stupid when you look at it from an impartial, reasonable and logical standpoint.
This man's statistics are way off base and the correct and up-to-date statistics are easily available on the internet. Why did he not bother to do his research before writing this?

Now, just where did he get this? I have never heard of any Christian religion having a ceremony of circumcision. To the contrary, there are specific writings in The New Testament against circumcision and Jesus himself spoke out against it twice that is recorded.
Quote:
Again, circumcision has never been a ritual of Christians. Never! Before the medical profession took up the flag in the second half of the 1800s, Christians were never circumcised. After that, it had no religious connotation at all. Indeed, circumcision of infants was a crime in ancient Rome and there were certainly plenty of Christians there. It was also highly frowned on in ancient Greece. It was so unpopular in Italy that when Michelangelo sculpted his statue of David, he portrayed him as intact because showing the bared glans would have almost have been seen as pornography to the Italians.
All in all, I see this as a writer who had a deadline to meet and had to do it quickly. He just did some minimal research, cobbled it together and blasted it off to his editor. There is just way, way too much information available on the internet for it to be anything else. Shame on him!
I didn't see a byline on the story so I would recommend writing the editor and tell him/her that he/she is not getting his/her money's worth from this employee and a call on the carpet is indicated to get better information on their future work or head for the door!

| In "Circumcision: A Surgeon's Perspective," Hutson postulated that the ritual cuttings arose as a common practice of early Jews, Christians and Muslims as a means to combat the problem of blanitis among adult males. |
