UNAIDS and the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommended circumcision as an important new element of HIV Prevention.
As such, local health authorities have since embarked on a massive campaign encouraging men to get circumcised. The campaign has seen prominent Zim musicians like Winky D and high profile politicians such as Mines Minister Orbert Mpofu being circumcised too.
Scientific trials have shown that male circumcision can reduce a man’s risk of becoming infected with HIV during sex by up to 60% hence the call for this campaign dubbed ‘Pinda muSmart’.
However, despite the health and hygienic advantages of circumcision, it has since been established that circumcision also boosts revenue for a large quota of prostitutes. In a random survey conducted a local publication, siphoning information from sex workers, circumcised men pay more for sex. Revelations made by hookers operating around the Avenues, Harare’s unrivalled red light district, show that prices for sex vary depending on the potential client’s “circumcision status”.
Their argument was that since the process of circumcision involved the removal of foreskin which contains sensory nerve receptors, that diminishes the man’s sensitivity thereby increasing the period of sex sessions. An increase in time in the sex session, they argued, meant a loss of other potential clients in that period because they thrive on ‘pushing volumes’.
“You see the problem with circumcised clients is they take too long to complete a single round.I might risk losing revenue from other clients and waste time on one guy for the same price, so we therefore push our charges upwards if one is circumcised,” said a self proclaimed prostitute.
Several other sex workers corroborated with her stating that there is a slight increase of US$20 to about US$30 if their client is circumcised.

“UNAIDS and the World Health Organisation (WHO) recommended circumcision as an important new element of HIV Prevention”.
Misleading statement, supposed to read “reduction of HIV infection and not prevention”.

about 75% of men in USA are circumcised, and yet HIV infection rate keeps increasing, so what is it with circumcision?

CIRCUMCISION HAS ALSO CAUSED SOME PEOPLE TO BE LESS CAREFUL BELIEVING THEY ARE CIRCUMCISED AND CAN NOT BE INFECTED.
SOME HAVE RESORTED TO CIRCUMCISION AFTER DISCOVERING THEY ARE INFECTED.
PEOPLE SHOULD BE WELL SENSITIZED THAN WHAT IS GOING ON RIGHT NOW.
MANY PEOPLE ARE BECOMING CARELESS BECAUSE OF CIRCUMCISION AND THIS HAS ALSO INCREASED UNWANTED PREGNANCIES TO THE YOUNG ONES ESPECIALLY.
THERE IS MORE RUBBING DURING SEX WHICH AGAIN DEFEATS THE REASON FOR CIRCUMCISION AS YOU BECOME MORE EXPOSED IN TERMS OF DURATION IN TIME OF SEXUAL INTERCOURSE

@popopo u r ryt its not a passpsort to heaven but its another of reducing sexaully transmitted diseases.the Savour had to go through withj it because it was mandetory for a jew.
these health institutions are just creating an awareness and not forcing you to do it,so if you choose to be like that, so be it.

Its true Jesus was circumsised but he didn’t have to entertain prostitutes. Just because Jesus did it doesn’t mean we all have to do it. Anyone tried fasting 40 days and nights? How about walking on water? My foreskin is not going anywhere

MC reduces the risk of cancer of the cervix. If u are not circumcized pliz do it. I tek long to release and my wife enjoys it. Morova uncircumcised man has dirt covered by foreskin-smell hence no BJ.

Before prevention of HIV, circumcision is a sure way of being clean for a man. When you pulldown the foreskin of a man, there is a smell there due to urinesweat, semen and for those who ve sex vaginal fluids. For one uncircumcised to be smell free, he has to be one taught very well on hygiene, cleaning of th foreskin,shaft and yes the package centre…as we all knw the various places shaft is packaged during underwear dress time,etc….all this contribute to various diseases and in a place of HIV pandemic, th naughty vaginal fluid has a tendancy of settling in the foreskin area right at th end whr foreskin branches frm shaft(a difficult place to clean and good hiding place for HIV and other STDs yes,nefiko) making it hard to be thoroughly clean and a good and easy way to get infectd cos of good breeding area. I think men all shld go for MC. Its clean and helps prevent diseases. Also it enhances a man’s sex drive, thus reduces ukuchunfwa in men becauise the long play allows for satisfaction in men and women so its a win win situation…no 5 mins sex for a circumcisd man. You do your job well and the rewards are wonderful…thr are many places and spots just on the man’s organ that give better sensitivity than th foreskin that if all men knw ths fact thy wldnt mind to do that which enhances thr sexuality with one partner as some spots and places are in areas whr u wld only want your life partner to knw about…they r sensitive and very secret. Every male for for MC today

You assume all men are unhygienic like yourself. Yak!. Both men and women should shower before becoming intimate. There is so much talk about men’s hygiene, for your own information, a woman’s private part contains multitudes of micro organisms.Hygiene is for all.

CORRECTION: The foreskin is not sensitive to sexual sensation. The head of the penis is. In circumcised men, the head loses some sensitivity due to constant contact with clothes. Uncircumcised men are highly sensitive, hence the mukolwe speed – 3 seconds.

It’s not true that when you are not circumcised then you dirt. You can be circumcised and still be a dirty man. Am not circumcised myself but I wash myself everytime I take a shower and change my pants every bath, twice a day.
We must be careful, the issue of circumcision someone is surely eating money somewhere.
