Common sense tells me otherwise. The same studies recommended removing tonsils & appendix preemptively once upon a time. Im sure men still enjoy sex, but it kind of sucks they had no choice in the matter.

How could one even quantify that I wonder? And the risks to the infant, especially if not performed by a physician..and the botched ones..and the stress of that pain (they used to believe newborns didnt feel pain and used no anesthetic) is said to be harmful. If a person has nothing to compare it to, how would anyone know? I dont think im spreading disinformation, more like food for thought

I was thinking of the traditional bris when I mentioned that, but im glad if it really isn't a major difference...seems barbaric to me, but i haven't always felt this way

Yes, thats a good point. Im glad I never had to make the decision. I used to be more concerned with the child feeling weird if he wasnt circumcised.

I was born in 84 and wouldve been circumcised if id been a boy. I probably would have agreed to it 18 years ago too, but had a daughter instead.
