Male impotence and sterility and female infertility and sterility are major problems and concerns today and are very widespread. Impotence, infertility, and sterility are sexual dysfunctions or dysfunctions of the reproductive system. They are degenerative diseases and are therefore caused by poor or improper diet and lifestyle and therefore can be reversed. They are also psychological (and mental) diseases as well, and again, they can be reversed. In traditional Djehuty fashion, I always begin with or like to begin by defining and breaking down a thing or word so that the meaning can be digested in the mind. What is impotence? Impotence derives from the Latin word impotentia [Lat: im “not,” and potentia power]. 1. weakness. 2. inability of the adult male to achieve penile erection or, less commonly, to ejaculate having achieved an erection. Several forms are recognized. Functional impotence has a psychological basis. Anatomic impotence results from physically defective genitalia. Atonic impotence involves disturbed neuromuscular function. Poor health, age, drugs, and fatigue can inhibit normal sexual function. SOURCE: Mosby’s Medical Dictionary, 3rd Edition (1990) Basically, impotence implies that a man lacks the power to achieve erection or cannot maintain an erection or cannot maintain an erection long enough to ejaculate. This is a very serious problem if a couple wants to conceive a child and start a family. A penis must be at a 90° angle (erect state) to help create and reproduce a life by penetrating the female vagina. Impotence renders the penis at 0° - 33° angle, which is just not going to get the job done. Numerology (study of numbers) bears witness that the number 9 is the number of life and the number 90 is: 9 + 0, which equals 90, for any number times (multiplied by) zero equals that particular or specific number. A woman normally carries a child in her womb for 9 months. Mathematically, number 9 is the number of reproduction for the number 9 is the only number that when you time (or multiply) it by another number, it will equate to number 9. Example: 9 X 2 = 18, which is 1 and 8, and 1 + 8 = 9 9 X 5 = 45, which is 4 and 5, and 4 +5 = 9 9 X 12 = 108, which is 1, 0, and 8, and 1 + 0 + 9 = 9 Try this yourself! Simply times (or multiply) any number by number 9 and see what the end result is when you add all those numbers together. Devout western religious brethren, contrary to what you believe or have been erroneously taught, especially my beloved Christian brethren, numerology is NOT of the devil or demonic in nature. Numerology deals with mathematics which is the language of God. We are in the Age of Aquarius and must get with the times metaphysically or perish because I think we can all bear witness that what we have is not working or working optimally and God is not a half-stepper. With God, it’s all or nothing. So you can’t be an embracer of God and be plagued by so many pathologies, diseases, and disorders and personal and social dramas of life to the point that they rob you of an abundance of life and optimal health, or in addition, that you cannot solve all of these dramas (problems) of life. Problems are solved (worked out). I don’t mean to make anyone feel bad or down, but I have a duty to incite people think in order to stimulate and galvanize them into action, for religious faith is borne witness by actions. Jesus himself instructed the Christian believer and follower to not be a hearer of the word, but a DOER of the word. The word “do” implies ACTION! So, men, in order to reproduce (in many cases, yourself via the birth of a son or male child), you cannot be impotent and must be able to achieve a 90° angle for penetration of the sacred cave of life (vagina, Yoni). The penis in an erect state at 90° vibrationally proclaims the secret password into the sacred cave of life, which password was “Open, sesame,” which was related to the Kemetic (Ancient Egyptian) word seshemu, which meant “sexual intercourse.” The hieroglyphic sign of seshemu was a penis inserted into an arched yoni-symbol. So, what causes impotence? The number one cause undoubtedly is poor diet and lifestyle. Excessive consumption of meat (dead animal’s flesh), dairy (liquefied cow snot or mucus), and starch plays a pivotal role in impotence. Starch by far would have to be the number one thing to leave alone in order to reverse impotence. Starch is that stuff used by dry cleaning services to STIFFEN your clothes. If starch stiffens your clothes, what do you think starch will do to your penis? So cut back or cut our starchy foods (white rice, yellow corn, white potatoes, etc.). Eat brown or wild (black) rice, blue corn, and the colored potatoes (red, purple). Meat and dairy will put animal fat and cholesterol into your body which will greatly impair circulation throughout the body including the male genitalia. The penis is a sponge (organ comprised of tissue) that becomes erect by the veins of the penis circulating oxygen and blood flow to it causing it to swell up and creating girth (roundness of the head of the penis) which is important in stimulating the vagina during coitus or lovemaking. American males would be wise to refrain from eating high fatty foods and fatty oils. Your sex life depends on it! I can’t forget about eating eggs (female chicken ova). Eggs create toxicity in the body and also cause hormonal imbalance in males. Protein? Unnatural sources of protein (meat, eggs, etc.) cause toxicity and excessive uric acid in the body. Protein malutilization is the number one cause of food-based development of cancer in the body. What are meat and dairy in technical terms? PROTEIN! As a street minister back in the day or in my embryonic conscious days, I used to warn young African-American males to leave certain beer brands (Old English, St. Ides, etc.) and fried chicken sold exclusively in black urban areas alone due to the chemical substance “potassium nitrate” being heavily laced in these products to curb birth rates or population growth of African-Americans who were deemed useless eaters, expendable, or undesirables by government eugenicists covertly working in the food industry. Potassium nitrate was once used in the food of the U.S. military apparatus. Potassium nitrate is commonly known as “salt peter” which makes the penis limp. The U.S. government allowed this substance in the food of male military members to help curb the high rape rate of foreign women by U.S. military men. Potassium nitrate makes for a very controversial subject with some people agreeing that it has an adverse effect on the male apparatus (penis) and others disagreeing. Based upon my research I agree that it does in fact have an adverse effect on the male apparatus. You can believe it or not, but impotence is very high amongst African-American men today. There are still a lot of studs and Mandingos out there, but there are also a lot of Willie Lump Lumps too. I know firsthand, because I’m an herbalist and get a lot of requests for help in this area from men, young and old alike. And yes, these men are very embarrassed about their situation, because subconsciously, they know it is a basic and primal function. While the impotence rates of African-American males are high these days, the impotence rates of white men or European males are even higher. Impotence was always a luxury disease for the most part because it was the wealthy males who could afford to eat steak, smoke the best cigars, snort the finest grade of cocaine, and drink the best wines on a daily basis. All of these played and plays and major role in impotence. Cigarette and marijuana smoking will hamper erection. The byproduct of smoking is carbon monoxide which has an affinity for the blood ten times greater than that of oxygen. Cigarettes and drugs cause degeneration of the sex gland and reproductive system. The result is impotence or low sperm count. Drinking alcoholic beverages causes weakness of the penis and also causes degeneration of the male reproductive system. Remember, American wine is processed with ether (sleeping gas) and formaldehyde (embalming fluid). So how is a man going to be aware and alive for the sex act if his eyes are bloodshot red and droopy (sleepiness) and his penis cannot become erect due to being stiff from being indirectly embalmed? Billboards, especially those in urban areas and communities, always promote alcohol consumption and sex. True, a lot of sex occurs when folks get drunk, but what is the quality of that sex, and God forbid, what type of child is conceived from such sex and mental state of mind? Over a long period of time, consumption of alcohol will greatly sabotage a man’s ability to perform in the sex act. It is already an established fact that alcohol impairs motor skills and coordination, two functions of the brain and I have always said that the most important sex organ is not between a man or woman’s leg, but between their ears – the brain! The brain is the motor or device that controls sexuality. Men should also refrain from wearing tight underwear (briefs) too, and start wearing boxers. Poor circulation due to smothering of the testicles leads to low sperm count and production in addition to penile weakness (impotence). And lastly on this note, excessive and meaningless sex will undoubtedly cause premature degeneration of the male reproductive system. cheap penis enlargement pill herbal penis enlarement pills penis enhancement tip buy penis enlargement pills penis enlarement technique vigrx penis enlargement pills does penis enlagement work pnis enlargement surgery photo

I really don’t know how to say this any other way. My dog decided to talk to me the other night and he had a lot to say. It initially played like any other night really. Once again, I was tossing and turning, in and out of sleep. I was half awake, mulling over my job situation: I want to make money writing but I need an income more. Then the most bizarre thing happened. “Hey human Bob! This is your best friend speaking! Wake up!” Who the hell was that? It was a deep, low voice; strong and certain with a hint of a bourbon induced slur. Sounded like Dean Martin actually. I immediately sat up. It was pitch black. The radio clock blurred 3:53 in a dull crimson light. All I could make out was the shadowy outline of Parker, my trusty beagle, sitting upright at my feet. “Hey boy, did you hear that?” I whispered instinctively. “Someone’s in the house.” My vision was starting to warm up to the darkness. Parker just stared back at me, his head tilted, his long ears hanging to the side of his head like hand towels on a wall. He turned his head to the bedroom doorway, lifted his nose to the night and sniffed. He turned back to face me. “Don’t think so.” I swore Parker spoke but it couldn’t be. I mean his hound drawn lips seemed to move to the words I heard but that was impossible. “Who’s there?” I yelled into the night. “Whoever it is, I am warning you that I am at this moment retrieving my loaded double-barrel twelve gauge from under the bed. I will shoot you. So leave now and I want to hear the door slam behind you.” I made some dumb noises in a lame attempt to fool the intruder into believing what I had just proclaimed. I took the ruse to the next level. “Okay. I’m fully armed and about to call 911 from my fully powered cell phone. Oh yeah, strong signal, four bars. Oh yeah, this is going to be a very clear 911 call.” “You’re breaking me up. Put the phone down human Bob.” It was Parker talking. I was certain of it. Nah, it had to be a sick trick. “Okay, good one Steve. You wired up the dog with a little speaker. Very funny.” My brother Steve was known to go to great lengths to pull off pranks. But I was pretty sure he was at his apartment in the city, sixty miles away, God knows doing what, and at 48 years old, unlikely to suddenly bother me with a prank—it had been 25 years since his last one. But the mind scrambles to the most implausible scenarios when so duly challenged. “Don’t think so. Nope it’s me, Parker,” the dog mumbled. I was positive he spoke again. By now I was sitting straight up, leaning towards him. He just sat there and looked at me with those big dark eyes. His poker face was on. “Parker? Are you talking to me?” “Well I’m not talking to myself.” I leaned back against the headboard. He yawned. “This can’t be. I’ve got to stop watching Animal Planet.” “Listen, I’ve got something to say and I’m not sure how long this talking stuff is going to work so …” “You are talking!” I interrupted incredulously. “Should you want I bow wow?” “Holy cow! Parker you are talking.” “Yup. But I’m not sure for how long. So can I say a few things before …” “I can’t believe this.” “Yeah I know. Either can I but if you don’t mind.” I looked at him with a giant smile plastered across my face. Parker can talk. The dog was talking. Who was I kidding? It had to be a prank. He continued. “I’ve been listening to a lot of that talk radio and that C-SPAN channel you watch while you write. I’m here to tell ya I don’t like what I’m hearing.” “You’re kidding me right?” “Afraid not.” Oh this was good. I was really hallucinating. Talk-shmalk, I had a few nagging questions of my own. “Hey, can I ask you something before you get to your stuff?” “Make it quick. I haven’t got all night.” “You like smell things a hundred times more than we do, right?” “Four hundred.” “Okay, four hundred. Wow! Then I really wonder about this.” “Yeah I know. Why do we like to sniff every morsel of excrement or yellow patch of urine we encounter on our walks?” “Now that you bring it up, yeah, why? It must smell like the inside of Dick Cheney’s or Ted Kennedy’s septic tank? And you know how much crap they’re filled with.” “That was a funny one human Bob. But it isn’t like what you smell. We pick up a lot more notes. It’s a broader pallet if you will. We don’t smell stink. We smell identity, mood, and illness. For instance, you know that crazy cairn terrier down the street?” “Yeah.” “She has stomach cancer and her humans don’t have a clue.” “You are kidding me?” “She probably has less than six months if they don’t get her to a vet soon.” He paused to lick his right front paw. “Yeah, and another thing. Don’t take me out at nights for awhile.” “Why?” “Cause there is a rabid possum living under the porch. That’s why.” “You know this from the smell of possum poop?” “Excrement.” “Whatever.” “Yup.” Parker yawned as if bored. “So is that it? Can I say what I need to say?” “Well there is that thing you do with that licking your, you know, your …” “Penis?” “Well, yeah.” “Jealous are we?” “Well, it’s just that …” “It’s all about keeping clean. Nothing pleasurable if that’s what you’re driving at. Nothing like what you do with your hand. By the way, I’d appreciate it if you wouldn’t pet me afterwards. Nope, no pleasure; it’s all business. You made sure of that when you had me “fixed”, remember. Thank you very much.” “Oh yeah, sorry about that. I had no idea you knew any different.” “No idea my butt. I’ll ‘no idea’ ya.” He paused again to lick his right paw again and then continued. “But I don’t hold it against you. We don’t hold grudges. Heck, if we did, we would have mauled most humans dead by now. Which brings me to why I am talking to you.” “No grudges. Really? I mean that “fixing” stuff is pretty serious. That’s pretty good if that doesn’t bother you.” “You done? Can I get to my concern?” “Sure. Sorry. Go ahead.” “How can humans be so smart supposedly, while they single handedly are destroying the Earth?” “You mean global warming?” “It’s more than that. It’s the air. It’s the water. It’s the dirt. It’s the forests. It’s the killing. It’s the anger. It’s the hate. It’s the grudges. It’s the fear. It’s everything.” “Oh come on. You’re being a little dramatic.” “We don’t know dramatic.” “Well give me examples of what you mean.” “First of all, the air is filled with danger. Dogs, cats, birds, animals of all kinds can smell it. It is our biggest topic when we get together.” “I don’t smell a thing.” “Yeah, that’s part of the problem. And you can’t taste the troubled water either.” “Scientists don’t seem to be complaining. So I should be listening to a dog?” “We have no agenda. Dogs call it as they smell it.” “ ‘call it as they smell it’; I’m suppose to just accept that?” “Yeah, there is a lot you should just accept.” “Oh yeah, like what else?” “Well, and here is what I think is the crux of the problem, you keep choosing the wrong alpha humans.” “What?” “You’ve got this alpha thing all wrong. Just because animals order their packs based on physical size and strength doesn’t make it so for humans. We do it because we are simple. You do it because you are thoughtless. That’s what we, and I think it is fair to say I am speaking for all animals, don’t get. Humans are able to think things through. But they never do. Well, that’s not completely true; some have but they are mocked or marginalized. An alpha dog barks and gets all puffy, like that wacky shepherd Sarge from around the block. The worst he can do is break out of his electronic fence and charge one of us. But you humans take it up a notch.” “Can you give me a for instance?” “God there are so many. Let me see. Okay, you’ve elected a president who pounds his chest and walks around like a gorilla with its arms all out to the side, all tough and all, carrying on with ‘bring it on’. When he jumps the fence, he brings tanks and bombs and humans loaded down in weapons and in body armor. Meanwhile, you have alpha males all over the place, flexing their muscle in their packs, threatening to obtain nuclear weapons, the great equalizer, giving the president one excuse after another to hop the fence. It’s nuts. And I for one am telling you, you’ve got it all wrong.” “Well, I don’t know what to say.” “You don’t need to say anything. Just start picking the right alpha humans; humans whose visions see beyond fighting, whose hearts hold no grudges, whose thoughts and reasons are not the products of testosterone, whose collective knowledge is rooted in the concept that true peace is never the consequence of war but the outcome of constant learning, negotiating and adjusting.” “This is what you want to tell me? Nothin’ for nothin’ but it’s a little heavy for a little chat with a dog at 3:30 in the morning.” “In a nut shell, yeah.” It was hard to accept this from my beagle. I mean, he’s a dog; a sleeping, eating, sniffing, crapping dog. I was chalking this whole episode up to stress. I was apparently snapping. “That’s it. I’m pretty much done. Just one last thing while I have the chance.” “What? World hunger? String theory?” I asked sarcastically. “You get the right alpha humans and the world hunger thing will take care of itself, smart ass. As far as string theory, who do you think I am, Hawking? I’m just a dog. No it’s more pedestrian than that, something I think you can manage.” “Then what, already?” I asked impatiently. “You know that thing you do occasionally where you empty the dish washer in the buff.” “Ummm … yeah I guess.” “Put some clothes on. It’s disturbing. I’m beggin’ ya, please!” “All right, but only if you lick your privates in private.” “I’ll see what I can do. No promises.” “So this is it? No more talking? You know we could make a fortune on Letterman with his stupid pet tricks.” “It’ll never happen. You see, this is a one time deal. Not sure why or how this is happening. Maybe that God guy is involved somehow. All I know is that when it is done, it is …” He abruptly stopped talking. “Parker?” Not a grunt. He yawned and as he did he stretched his front legs out and spread across the foot of the bed, his ears resting flat on the blanket. “Parker … are you done? Is that it?” He slowly closed his eyes and floated off to sleep. “Parker … just like that?” He began to twitch; in hot pursuit of a fox I imagined. “Holy smokes. I must be dreaming myself.” I curled back down under the safety of my covers, scratched my butt and thought about the conversation I had just had with Parker or myself or both. I sniffed the air. It smelled fine to me. What the heck was he talking about, ‘danger in the air’? It had to be a dream. As I drifted off to sleep, I thought about getting a real job real soon, apparently this writing stuff was getting the best of me. I also made a point to remember to talk to the owners of that crazy cairn terrier. I thought it was the least I could do. One can’t be too dismissive of the unexplainable these days. natural penis enlargment exercise penis enlarement drug penis enlarement drug buy pennis enlargement pills truth about penis enlagement pills best enlargement exercise penile natural penis enargement technique vigrx results cheapest penis enlagement pills

In trying to rekindle the sexual magic in my relationship with my wife I came across Stamina Rx. A product from High-Tech Pharmaceuticals, I wasn’t much optimistic about its results at first. My journey to find the lost magic in our sexual life had led me to experiment with many other sex supplements and prescription drugs, but none of them were able to deliver what they promised; although I had spent a fortune on them. Stamina Rx works. Stamina Rx has been termed as an alternative to Cialis. Moreover researchers say that the use of highest grade extracts and neutraceuticals during the manufacture stage makes it more effective than Cialis and Viagra, the famed erectile dysfunction pill from Pfizer. This has been termed as a breakthrough discovery for arousing the couple during the sexual activity and maintaining the desire by inducing to do more than once. Does this make you feel nostalgic of the old times when you would hardly let your wife sleep doing sex all night? The distinct feature of Stamina Rx is that it creates within us the desire to have sex. It improves sensitivity among the couple, making them crave for more sex. The sex supplement owes this distinctiveness to Dopamine and Norepinephrine. When a person consumes Stamina Rx, it stimulates these neurotransmitters (Dopamine and Norepinephrine), which in turn energizes the hypothalamus (a part of human brain where sex originates). Thus, the pill works very naturally in fuelling sexual urge in the couple. Xanthoparmelia Scabrosa and Cnidium Monnier are the main ingredients in Stamina Rx. Xanthoparmelia is lichen found in some Oriental countries like China and Hong Kong. What makes this herb well suited for treating impotence among men is the presence of Pyrazolo Pyrimidinone, being its natural source. Xanthoparmelia Scabrosa inhibits PDE-5 and allows smooth flow of blood to the penis, thus creating natural erections. When Stamina Rx is taken by women, the ingredient works by blocking an enzyme in the body which allows blood to remain in the clitoris. Cnidium Monnier was the gift to America by china. Stamina Rx, employs a coumarin isolated from cnidium monnier which is known as osthole. Osthole arouses the production of nitric oxide, which then results in the production of cyclic GMP (cGMP). cGMP smoothens the muscle and lets the penile arteries to expand and fill with blood. In men this ingredient impacts the nitric oxide release and inhibits PDE-5. In women, the nitric oxide release in large amount allows blood to remain in the clitoris. Stamina Rx boasts of an impressive list of other ingredients. These are: • Yohimbe 8% Extract Yohimbine is an alkaloid contained in the herbal product, yohimbe. The drug influences the flow of blood to the penis and men’s libido. With a high percentage of Yohimbine HCL, Stamina-Rx can be very useful. • L-Arginine This is another ingredient in the sex supplement that increases natural production of nitric oxide and thus creates a more rigid erection. • Gamma Amino Butyric Acid These raise the dopamine levels in hypothalamus and thus stir up an ecstatic feeling and increase sensations during orgasm. • Epimedium / Horney Goat Weed The name sounds funny but has been found to be very effective in increasing the sex drive. With the use of 20:1 extract Stamina Rx beats all competition. • Icariin 50TM This has been found to have inhibitory effects on PDE-5 and PDE-4 activities and thus very effective in case of erectile dysfunction. • Cistanches Extract Imported exclusively from China, this has been known to have positive effect on libido and sexual energy. • Mucuna Pruriens The herb works by stimulating the release of dopamine and norepinephrine and thus induces sexual desire and libido. • Ageratum Extract Ageratum extract results in the release of oxytocin. When the herb is taken by women, they have reported of powerful, "full body" orgasms and multiple orgasms. However, Stamina Rx is not a wonder drug. Some considerations need to be taken while using this drug for best results. Stamina Rx must be avoided if you are undergoing medication for high blood pressure, kidney, thyroid, psychiatric disease, anxiety, depression, seizure disorder or stroke. The drug is not for the use of children and those under the age of 18. Though this drug is also available for women, pregnant women must avoid its use. Your physician is the best person to decide if you can use this supplement. He will also recommend you the dosage of Stamina Rx. Generally one or two tablets are taken an hour before sexual activity. This product still awaits an approval by FDA. enhancement forum free matter penis size vimax penis enlargement doctor penis enhancement surgery picture enlargment free penis pills sample magna rx pills vimax penis enlargement pro solution easy enlargement free penis surgery way cheapest penis enlagement pills

Growing old is not all fun. We’re proned to rheumatism, gout, vision loss, hearing loss, and worst of all sexual dysfunction. Since now, doctors used to think that most cases of erectile dysfunction were psychological in origin. According to many studies conclusions, many of them recognize that, at least in older men, physical causes may play a primary role in 60% or more of all cases. For instance, the leading cause in men over the age of 60 is atherosclerosis, or narrowing of the arteries, which can restrict the flow of blood to the penis. Impotence may also be caused by damage to the nerves of the penis, as a result of certain types of surgery or neurological conditions such as Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis. Men with diabetes are especially at risk for impotence because of their high risk of both atherosclerosis and a nerve disease called diabetic neuropathy. More and more experts concluded now that all male sexual dysfunction problems rise from medical conditions like prostrate cancer, diabetes, kidney diseases, lower back pain or drug abuse, smoking and excessive alcohol. Though psychological factors like stress and depression can play a vital role in causing ED, chronic sexual dysfunction follows a physical cause. Men need to understand the importance of adopting healthier lifestyles, including losing weight and giving up cigarettes. Men who have resisted advice about smoking and weight loss may react differently when they learn that cigarettes and obesity can contribute to impotency. Men who must avoid sexual activity because of their cardiac status should not use any of drugs or other treatments for ED. It is estimated that more than 322 million men will suffer from male impotence by 2025. An improvement in men’s diet and lifestyle patterns can reduce the chances of ED in men. It is also found that men who recognize erectile dysfunction problems and seek treatments are willing to make tremendous lifestyle changes to get rid of the disorder. Oral drugs such as Viagra, Cialis and Levitra are popular pills which treat ED in men. Also vacuum devices, injections and micro vascular surgeries provide patients with effective treatments. free exercise tip for penis enlagement vimax penis enlargement device vimax best penis enlargement penis enlargment without pills top rated penis enlargement pill penis enlagement review penis enlarement picture natural penis enlargment exercise cheapest penis enlagement pills

Having a baby brings with it many decisions. From the moment that second pink line appears you are a parent. Some parenting decisions can be fun, like what color to paint the nursery. Other decisions require more research and discussion between the mother and her partner including, if the child is a boy, whether or not to circumcise. The decision to circumcise may be guided by your religious beliefs. Both Jews and Muslims circumcise as part of religious rites. The decision not to circumcise, however, may be one that you never considered. “Aren’t most boys circumcised? Isn’t it cleaner? Why wouldn’t I want my son to look like his father and all the other boys in the locker room?” While these myths are prevalent in the United States and other parts of the Western world, the facts of circumcision tell a significantly different story. Circumcision of male infants is not a medically necessary procedure; it is plastic surgery for the penis. The practice of circumcision began in ancient Egypt, according to Desmond Morris in his book Babywatching. The ancient Egyptians believed that the snake shedding its skin was undergoing a rebirth and, thus, became immortal. They reasoned that if humans followed suit they, too, would attain immortality. The foreskin was equated to the snakeskin, and the practice of circumcision was begun. For centuries, the only reason for circumcision was a religious one. Non-faith based circumcision began with the Victorians during the mid-to-late 1800s. They believed that removing the foreskin would reduce the male’s urge to masturbate. From that starting point, circumcision has been deemed by various groups to be more hygienic and credited as a preventative measure for diseases from chlamydia to HIV. In reality, removing the foreskin accomplishes none of these assertions and could result in more serious problems. The foreskin has several known functions, even in modern times. While some people suggest that its use has gone the way of the appendix, in reality the foreskin aids in the sexual health and enjoyment of men. The foreskin is a protective cover for the penis that needs no special care. At birth, the foreskin is attached to the head of the penis, much like fingernails are attached to the end of your fingers. It will remain attached until the boy is about ten years old. Premature retraction of the foreskin can lead to an increased chance of infection. Early life functions of the foreskin are to help in the proper development of the penile glans and to protect the glans from feces and urine-based ammonia in diapers. Throughout the man’s life, the foreskin continues to protect the glans from friction and abrasion and keeps it lubricated and moisturized by coating it in a waxy, protective substance. When the man becomes sexually active, the foreskin allows sufficient skin to cover an erection by unfolding and aids in penetration by reducing friction and chafing. The foreskin is highly sensitive and is, in fact, an erogenous tissue rich with erogenous receptors. For his partner, the foreskin contacts and stimulates the female’s G-spot. There are additional considerations when deciding upon whether your male infant will undergo circumcision. As with any medical procedure, there are complications presented by the choice to circumcise. In March 1999, the American Academy of Pediatrics concluded that any potential medical benefits are not significant, and the AAP no longer recommends circumcision as a routine procedure. Prior to consenting to a circumcision, the mother must sign a consent form outlining the risks of the procedure. These risks include hemorrhage (in about 2% of cases), infection, deformity, scarring, permanent bowing of the penis (chordee), and urinary retention from swelling, among other concerns, including loss of the penis. Though rare, death occurs in approximately 1 of every 5000 circumcisions. Many circumcisions are done without the use of anesthetic, but if anesthesia is used, there are additional complications presented by using anesthetic drugs on an infant. Despite the American perception, circumcision is not a worldwide practice. Eighty-two percent (82%) of the world's male population is intact. That leaves the 18% of circumcised men in the minority. Even in the U.S. circumcision rates are declining. Starting around World War II, rates of circumcised boys increased steeply as American births were moved from the home into the hospitals. Rates of U.S. circumcisions reached a plateau during the late 1980s. With the new century, rates of circumcision began a slow decline. In the latest census reports, from 2003, approximately 55% of American newborn boys are circumcised. Some sources believe that American circumcision rates will decrease steadily over the next generation and return to the pre-WWII ratio of approximately 1 of every 4 boys being circumcised. Whether or not to circumcise is a decision that must be made with concern for immediate and future implications for the male child. As more parents become aware of the choices they have in labor and birth, more parents are also making the decision not to circumcise. For more information on circumcision, visit www.nocirc.org.
