Beneficial to circumcise?
Apr. 11th, 2002 06:43 pmP.S. This cracks me up. The world is incredibly dumb, and getting dumber every day.

I had to post to say that I love my dad very much, and I think today I made him very, very, very, very happy. I could tell in the voice of his email.

Today is "I Love BC" day, i.e. Barnard's Spirit Day.
Check out my awesome school spirit. I also have a pin on my school bag.
I walked around NYC and then went to work, and at least five guys stopped me and said, "Canadian?" And I didn't get it because I had forgotten about my tattoo on my face, till I went to work and Andrea said "BC, what does that stand for? Barnard?" And then everything clicked into place. Before, I was wondering if it was my red shoes. Maybe Canadians wear a lot of red shoes, I don't know.
Maybe guys just like to find reasons to talk to girls.

Male Circumcision Is Found to Reduce Cervical Cancer
By DENISE GRADY
Circumcising men may significantly reduce the rate of cervical cancer in women by decreasing the spread of a sexually transmitted virus that causes nearly all cases of cervical cancer, researchers are reporting.
A study being published today in The New England Journal of Medicine provides important scientific evidence for a link that scientists have long suspected.
The new findings are based on 1,913 couples in five countries, including 977 couples in which the woman had cervical cancer and 936 couples without cancer. Researchers found that circumcision made a difference if the man had had six or more sex partners, which made him more likely to have contracted the cancer-causing human papilloma virus, or H.P.V. In those couples, the risk of cervical cancer was more than double if the man was not circumcised.
