Circumcision was routine in US hospitals until lately. I had my son circumcized, then all the brouhaha started over it in the last 10 years or so, thanks Dr. Dean, and I started feeling guilty, so I asked him if it bothered him. He said it didn't bother him.
Now one grandson wasn't circumcized, and got a very nasty infection when prepubescent. He ended up in the emergency room and they asked my daughter if she had taught him to clean himself properly. How are you supposed to know to teach your male child that if somebody doesn't tell you?
It gets more personal, but I would prefer a circumcized man for a marriage partner, because I think there is a lesser chance of passing on that virus that causes cervical cancer.
Truly, I realize all the arguments one way or the other. Yes, it's important to know how to take care of things and yes it can get infected. Ears can get infected if you don't take care of them, but you don't just chop them off.
Me and my brother are the only circumcised males in my family. My mother was barely cognizant of what was going on when in labor and thought nothing of it when the doctors had her sign. It was the thing to do of course then. I don't 'blame' her or anything. It just was what it was.
Now, if it were today when it is in fact a controversy and mothers are aware of it, then maybe.
And, as I stated above. It really does not bother me with regard to myself. Of course, I'll never know what it's like to have it, but it's hardly something that concerns me. I'm perfectly content with my equipment as it is.
But that's just because I've grown up with it that way. If it were otherwise, then I'm quite sure I'd be content with things that way. And if I were suddenly given a choice, then I would reverse things just for the sake of novelty if nothing else.
But the clincher for me is that the number of men who have it and want to get rid of it is trivial. The infant has no choice in the matter and of course it's irreversible. Yes, there's the whole matter of religious customs as well, but I'm anywhere of any religion that explicitly requires radical circumcision as is customary (instead of just snipping the tip, as Jews used to do).
More and more it is being discovered there are health reasons that favor circumcision.
