      You know, when I read the OP I figured this was going to be brought up (as well as the ascetics in the early years who castrated themselves), but, and I mean this in all honesty, I was expecting it from H_A.

      I'm sorry if that upsets or annoys you.
      Yeah that's basically how they sell it. And "tradition"/"he should look like his dad so he doesn't get confused"

                  This is not true. Circumcision doesn't affect fertility, nor is circumcision generally thought to enhance or detract from sexual pleasure for men or their partners.

                  That's not even going into the medical risks of such an operation when it doesnt need to be done at all in the first place. You're opening up potential of a mishap (cut off part of the rest of the penis with it? Etc.), complications of infections, etc. After the surgery of the wound, etc.
                  Millions are performed every year worldwide. The instance ofsevere complications are miniscule.

                  It's no different than the monstrous act of slicing a girls clitoris as many in Africa do (FGM).
                  Patently false. There is no medical benefit to FGM. Circumcision on the other hand...

                  Circumcision might have various health benefits, including:
                  Easier hygiene. Circumcision makes it simpler to wash the penis. However, boys with uncircumcised penises can be taught to wash regularly beneath the foreskin.

                  Decreased risk of urinary tract infections. The risk of urinary tract infections in males is low, but these infections are more common in uncircumcised males. Severe infections early in life can lead to kidney problems later.

                  Decreased risk of sexually transmitted infections. Circumcised men might have a lower risk of certain sexually transmitted infections, including HIV. Still, safe sexual practices remain essential.

                  Prevention of penile problems. Occasionally, the foreskin on an uncircumcised penis can be difficult or impossible to retract (phimosis). This can lead to inflammation of the foreskin or head of the penis.

                  Decreased risk of penile cancer. Although cancer of the penis is rare, it's less common in circumcised men. In addition, cervical cancer is less common in the female sexual partners of circumcised men.

                    Absurdly false, the removal of the largest concentration of nerves in the penis by very definition detracts from the sexual pleasure of men by the mere fact of the nerves no longer being there. This isn't something that's even debatable without denying basic science.

                    There's no real statistical difference for STDs nor penile cancer IIRC.

                        My masculinity is well intact, but where I come from men don't talk to other men like that. If it isn't gay, it is rather strange...But if you decide to come out of the closet, we won't think less of you...

                          Nope. Just additional contextual information about circumcision.

                          Histological Correlates of Penile Sexual Sensation: Does Circumcision Make a Difference?

                          Guy Cox, MA, DPhil, John N Krieger, MD, and Brian J Morris, DSc, PhD

                          Results


                          We retrieved 41 publications on penile structure. Considered in the light of 12 reporting physiological measurements, our evaluation finds that sexual response is unlikely to involve Meissner’s corpuscles, whose density in the prepuce diminishes at the time of life when male sexual activity is increasing. Free nerve endings also show no correlation with sexual response. Because tactile sensitivity of the glans decreases with sexual arousal, it is unrelated to sexual sensation. Thermal sensitivity seems part of the reward mechanism of intercourse. Vibrational sensitivity is not related to circumcision status. Observations that penile sexual sensation is higher post circumcision are consistent with greater access of genital corpuscles to sexual stimuli after removal of the prepuce. This is based on the distribution of these corpuscles (which are located in the glans) and, in uncircumcised men, the position of the retracted prepuce during intercourse, rather than any change in the number of genital corpuscles. The scientific literature suggests that any sexual effect of circumcised men may depend solely on exposure of the glans and not on the absence of the prepuce.
                          Conclusion


                          Based on histological findings and correlates of sexual function, loss of the prepuce by circumcision would appear to have no adverse effect on sexual pleasure. Our evaluation supports overall findings from physiological measurements and survey data.

                          A comparison of the prevalence of sexually transmitted infections among circumcised and uncircumcised adult males in Rustenburg, South Africa: a cross-sectional study
                          Blanchard Mbay Iyemosolo, Tawanda Chivese & Tonya M. Esterhuizen

                          Results
                          A total of 339 participants with a median age of 25 years (IQR 22–29) were included in the study, of whom 116 (34.2%) were circumcised. The overall STIs prevalence was 27.4% (95% CI 22.8 to 32.6%) and was lower in the circumcised participants compared with those who were uncircumcised (15.5% vs 33.6%, respectively, p < 0.001). Both medical (OR 0.57, 95% CI 0.34–0.95, p = 0.030) and traditional circumcision (OR 0.34, 95% CI 0.13–0.86, p = 0.022) were strongly associated with a lower risk of STIs after adjustment for employment and condom use.

                          Conclusion
                          In this high-risk population in a mining town in South Africa, with a relatively high prevalence of STIs, and where one third of males are circumcised, both medical and traditional circumcision appear to be protective against STIs.

                          Male circumcision and penile cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis
                          Natasha L. Larke, corresponding author Sara L. Thomas, Isabel dos Santos Silva, and Helen A. Weiss

                          Conclusions


                          Men circumcised in childhood/adolescence are at substantially reduced risk of invasive penile cancer, and this effect could be mediated partly through an effect on phimosis. Expansion of circumcision services in sub-Saharan Africa as an HIV prevention strategy may additionally reduce penile cancer risk.

                              Circumcision is male genital mutilation. Period. If you want to engage in the bizarre practice as an adult feel free. But kids should not have their genitals mutilated due to the beliefs or practices of their parents. That goes for those in the LGBTQ religion who are transing their kids and Jews and Christians and their own religion
