So since you’re against it for any medical reason (however minuscule) do you believe that it should be banned even though it’s engrained in several large religions?

Anytime I see someone speak so voraciously against circumcision it always seems to me that they’re disguising their dislike of religion with ulterior arguments.

Find faults in my argument. No sale with me on barbaric cultural practices, genital mutilation being the foremost example of its kind, both male and female. Imagine how these were performed just 120 years ago, when modern surgical practices were all but unknown - cutting with dirty knives, and sucking the blood by the mohel with his mouth - disgusting / abnormal rot!

Nature designed the penis with a protective, highly-innervated sheath for a purpose. Deal with it. It is unfair for a human being to have his sexual organs mutilated and diminished in qualitative function for a god, without his free will consent. There might even be some connection between sexually unsatisfied males (due to diminished pleasure from the amputation of the sensitive foreskin) and tendency to be polygamous / fornicative - quantity over quality, and all that.
