Bravo, someone understands epidemiology. If you study the epidemiology of penile cancers, they also generally describe the disease associated with uncircumcised men. See this link, from no other than the "American Cancer Society." http://www.cancer.org/docroot/cri/content/cri_2_4_2x_what_are_the_risk_factors_for_penile_cancer_35.asp (Hopefully this is a credible source for the writer and readers). It is also more than coincidental that cervical cancers are found much less commonly in the wives of Jewish men. To be more accurate, I have never condoned circumcision for all "comers." Chronic phimosis, chronic infection and ulcerations of the foreskin, HPV of the foreskin, and any mucosal skin area for that matter breeds further contagious disease.These patients that fail to respond to mainstream therapy are indeed good and sensible candidates for elective circumcision to protect their health and inevitably the health of their partner. Lastly, no academician would ever assert that dryness of the vagina comes from too much friction from circumcized men. There are too many more reasons gynecologically to explain that. Ask your own gyn for this info. Dr. Buffman (not Buffington).
