For most of us who have a sweet tooth for chocolate and all the candy there is, it is quite hard to enjoy the candy with its wrapper on.
This is quite similar to how most people behave when having sexual intercourse, especially the youth who are not married who practice unprotected sex. Think of the fact that most men put their wives at risk by evading circumcision.
If all men do respect women especially their wives, it is recommended and respectable of a man to see that he gets circumcised, in addition, personal hygiene should be observed so as to minimise the cervical cancer rate in women.
Circumcision happens to be an assumed practice to some societies especially the Greeks. Mr and Mrs Happens respect this and have dealt with it by teaching their beloved son how to observe personal hygiene since his mother is a woman and she would also want him to be a respectable man in the future.
She granted him the right to undergo circumcision, if he finds its necessary one he is a man enough. She also took it to be her responsibility to talk to him about using condoms in order to practice safe sex as he is in a very trying and tempting generation.
Cervical cancer is triggered by viruses, for a circumcised man, vaginal fluid will hardly accumulate at the sheath of the penis, unlike in an circumcised man due to friction. These are just few ways in which transmission of cervical cancer and other diseases occurs.
Circumcision is rarely practiced, especially in Africa. Those who do carry it out in a crude and traditional way. The importance of being circumcised is that HIV|AIDS transmission is rarer.
However, that is not a very good reason since we are living in a society that observes gender equality so I do feel that men should be circumcised so as to reduce cervical cancer transmission in women.
Being a proud Kenyan, I do find these cultural practises very annoying and quite senseless. And there are more. For instance, I do recommend that men in tribes, especially from western Kenya, should stop wife inheritance.
This practice has proven to be yet another reason for HIV/AIDS to increase.
