If it were [[obscenity|obscene]], it would be illegal. I don't think anyone is claiming that it is obscene, but it is certainly not necessary. Who really needs this information to be a productive, helpful, or faithful person? Would you honestly call this article family friendly? That's not a rhetorical question? I really am asking?

- The article says circumcision is common in western countries, but in Europe it isn't nearly as widely practiced. Being intact is far more common there than being circumcised, esp. in Scandinavia. Alf84 19:17, 28 May 2007 (EDT)
- That's very true. Circumcision is actually really rare in Europe. I also have a problem with the statistic of Americans who are circumcised - surely that should be referenced? Surely it's not that high? Blackjuice 13:58, 29 May 2007 (EDT)
Why say "male reproductive organ"?
I think the word "penis" is not obscene, are you reluctant to writing it in the first sentence?Sporean 12:48, 30 July 2007 (EDT)
Also, there are other male reproductive organs. However, I think this article gets the point across. Anyone who needs more detail can get it (detail) from their parents or in medical/nursing school. BHarlan 13:29, 23 October 2008 (EDT)
- I've inserted it in (as it were). There are other articles on CP that use the word, & there is nothing obscene about using it in this context. Sideways 13:58, 23 October 2008 (EDT)
If it were obscene, it would be illegal. I don't think anyone is claiming that it is obscene, but it is certainly not necessary.
