Ok, wow - just spent the last hour reading about men's junk.  You got a lot more going on down there than I ever thought possible.  Seriously, the studies show one thing and then the opposite, depending on the methodology, both medical and statistical, and seem to vary far more geographically than by foreskin status.

So far, it seems very clear that keeping it clean and wrapped up does a lot more than circumcision.  The problem is that the same can be said of abstinence vs safe sex.  On the other hand, we might live in a more responsible world if young fellers were given more responsibility for their willy.

I can't see any clear justification for circumcision at all, but I can see some clear risks associated with the procedure.  How is this thread still alive?

There is a 'stop following' link somewhere under the original post (just in case you weren't aware).  Although, if you click 'stop following' then post again (for whatever reason), I think it reverts to following status.

Personally I think circumcision should be the choice of an adult when he is old enough to make that choice for themselves. Such a choice should never be made for the child. In my view its child abuse and mutilation.

By that point it would have been too late. He'd already have been made fun of and felt rejection because of it.

Its only too late when the circumcision has been done, as it cannot be undone. I have never been circumcised and have had no problems, then again many men in my country and indeed most of Europe tend to be uncut. 

I had an exboyfriend from South Africa who voluntarily had a circumcision, which I respected. But at the same time, it just wasn't the same as the full thing lol

Ok well my point is, that not every circumcised male is happy that part of his penis is missing. I think many American's claim they want to be circumcised because its evolved from a religious tradition to a cultural tradition. 

The foreskin does actually contribute to pleasure during sex, and I'm speaking from experience. 

FYI there are at least 4 functions of the "tiny bit of skin":
1. Protects the glans from hardening which would decrease stimulation.
2. Moves back and forth during intercourse which stimulates those nerves.
3. Keeps the corona of the glans from pulling out lubrication during the back stroke. Dryness would decrease pleasure for both partners.
4. It stimulates the nerves in the corona as it moves back and forth.

Female anatomy provides a sexual lubricant. I don't need extra skin for that
