Furthermore, having only circumcised partners lowers a WOMANS chance of getting certain types of cancer as well as many routine types of vaginal infections.
So yes, there are many, many benefits to having a circumcised penis. Plus it looks cool. It's the sleek, streamlined race car of the penis world.
