Actually when you're an adult, since the skin isn't as elastic and supple as an infant, getting a circumcision is actually more dangerous the older you get. There's more potential for damage. so you trade off higher risk of infection for higher risk of damage. i'd call that a wash, at worst. certainly not a great reason to do it to someone before they can consent. I'm simply stating a fact, and it doesn't mean that I even agree with circumcision at any age. If I find out I'm having a boy, I don't think that I'll get him circumcised. I live in the US, so people here are obsessed with cleanliness anyway, and I live in an area that has a lot of mountains and trees, not sand. The chances of a potential son getting bladder infections or getting sand in there is practically non-existent. But even then, how many times do you hear about infants getting infections from circumcisions? I'm not denying that they probably exist, but I've never heard of one.

I won't be circumcising my kid if I for some reason get pregnant with a boy. ...no. Circumcision came from Jewish tradition, to separate God's people from the Gentiles. It definitely isn't an "american" thing. I said usually Americans. Which is true. Lol. Basically all Americans are circumcised.

Even if circumcision didn't start as an American thing (because it wasn't), it definitely is now. It's extremely common in the US. Studies show that as much as 60%-70% of all American baby boys are circumcised, but to be entirely honest, I'm pretty sure that the number is much higher than that. I'm thinking it's closer to 85%.

I might be wrong about that. No, you're absolutely right. Well, I can say that being circumcised is actually beneficial more than being uncircumcised. It decreases the risk of bladder infections, STDs, and cancer. On the other hand, it will decrease the sensitivity of the genital. In my opinion, it's benefits outweigh the risks. This is just my opinion.

I don't believe that Jehovah's Witnesses circumcise either, I could be wrong though. The one guy I "knew" who wasn't, his mom who raised him by herself, was Jehovah's Witness.

Cancer occurring in the foreskin is already less than a 1% chance in these countries with or without cutting of the tip of the penis. Hygiene is no different cut or not with the proper care. In a third world country where circumcision could actually provide help, then yeah maybe it should be done. The problem is in third world countries the circumcision is often done without the proper tools and care, causing infections and death instead of going against them. I find it completely unnecessary in religious cases and/or the case of females. If it's done it should be done based on the person's own preference or if it can actually make them safer by large percentage not by a .2% like in many first world countries and should always be done safely.

Chrome Favourite Manga Hunter x Hunter	Here in NZ circumcision is rather rare - i've only ever known one person to have it and that was for medical reasons when he was younger. There is no real benefit from doing it imo.

So with that being said, even if most boys are circumcised in the US, there's really no reason for it other than cultural tradition.

I'm thinking it's a "white thing" to be circumcised in the US. To be entirely honest, the only guy I've ever seen (in person) who wasn't circumcised was actually only half white. He was also half Puerto Rican. And just to bring this up... hopefully that "over 100" wasn't all in person, Lunar. The only way that wouldn't be weird is if you were a doctor, or a porn director/star. Edited by Ketchup Revenge, May 27 2014, 02:48 AM.
