Wakanyugi,

Utakanyuiriire ndoi ke rita. Ask most men and they will tell you it is a total-total mutilation. There is total physical injury of the body. Do you dare talk about degradation of function? The MGM is known to reduce male sexual arousal and libido. isn’t this degrading a very important function.


Okay my question ...does MGM and circumcision mean the same? If so; does it mean its better to remain a Kihii??????? Kana urauga atia Papa Daad? umenitukania....

I do not know about this, but I am tempted to revise my earlier proposal and include free will versus coersion.

I am wondering if a woman who wilingly, without any form of coercion social of otherwise (though I doubt such a woman exist) decides to get cut, would that still be refered as FGM? If so, this would help us make the distinction between the male circumcision which, by the way has been supported by WHO on hygienic grounds; see http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/6502855.stm and FGM

i agree male circumcision helps reduce spread of HIV/AIDS, there was an ongoing study here, and though am not sure how far it has gone till now, but the preliminary results already showed huge progress in the reduction of HIV prevalence owed to circumcision.. i think they said it reduced by upto 60% from what that lady said.

I know this is our Kikyu tradition but...I have always thought its a good idea for male circumcision to be done a few days after the baby is born to reduce the pain.Dont you think?
