Lord knows they need it.

 

wow...didn't know that would acutally help. thanks for the article. good read.

 

I question the validity of that study. It may be true that those who are circumsized are less prone to get AIDS but could it also be the case that those who are circumsized are also more religious and therefore have fewer sex partners?
