More and more it is being discovered there are health reasons that favor circumcision.

No professional medical organization in the world recommends that boys should be circumcised. The small potential medical benefits do not outweigh the medical risks and harms

Non-religious male and female circumcision started in the USA in the late 1800s because doctors thought it would keep boys and girls from masturbating.

A recent study found circumcised women have a lower HIV infection rate. It appears there are health reasons that favor female circumcision too.

Whoever said it has anything to do with HIV? And last I heard, most reputable medical organizations recommended leaving the decision to the parents in the case of infant circumcision. And you are underestimating the benefits.

Also, don't cloud the subject with moronic talk about female circumcision.
