The porn industry says circumcision is the way to go.

"Son, when you were little, your mother and I had to decide whether we thought you were going to have the common sense, as an adolescent, to wash your penis"
- that's to say, I can't really see how this is anything other than a parentl/tradition/re... issueFax_Benson

Yeah it really doesn't make sense as a religious tradition.
On Day 6, God created the foreskin so that you could chop it off...

Also, I never thought I'd say this, but there are far too many qbners describing their genitals in here.

To play the other side:
- Some women/men prefer it for aesthetic reasons.
- Female circumcision is not exactly the same thing. There's a difference between having some sensation and not having any sensation at all. And it has a different background and a different level of barbarity (which matters to some people... kind of like how most people favour some animals and not others, ignoring the fact that many of them are maimed for our pleasure), thus giving it a more negative connotation. Some more specifics: http://askmisscris.wordpress.com…...Nowadays people don't seem to mind as much.
It totally made sense in the late 80s and 90s because of the aids information that was coming out at the time.
- Jaline imma let you finish but men know a lot more about feeling on their penis than miss criss!GeorgesII
- hahahahahahaha
e-pill - Sure, but that's like saying women don't have to shave because it's more comfortable. Obviously some people will careJaline
- care more than others, and that's up to them. A personal choice.Jaline
- Not to say shaving is the same thing, of course. But the decision is about a combination of ideas.Jaline

The ill effects of circumcision aren't limited to the groin. Sometimes the anesthetic the babies are given make them groggy for a couple of days, which impedes the process of learning to breastfeed. This happened to a friend of mine, she persevered, but for those who don't/can't it can effect the nutritional health of the baby and the emotional bond between the mother and the child.
The most common, and most ridiculous argument i've heard for circumcision is the "we don't want his stuff to look different than his dad's". Don't know about you, but i can't remember one single time that me and my pops compared our junk. Not one. Just sayin'.

There was a woman who tried to start a ban circumcision movement in California...it didn't get very far.

@Jaline:
'-Some women/men prefer it for aesthetic reasons.'
Not a valid argument.
It is _not_ up a parent to make a decision like having someone take a scalpel to ANY part of an infant's body for aesthetic reasons. In fact, it should be a criminal offense.

it's barbaric, end of discussion.

Or alternatively, if male circumcision is acceptable, so is female circumcision.
