More around 40-60%, maybe less.

I personally never said anything about what percentage has it done, I don't consider the right or wrong of it to be something that can be decided by concensus. If I were the only person left on the planet speaking against circumcision I would still say that it is indeed a barbaric practice based in WILLFUL ignorance and makes as much sense as draining blood to cure illness, not so long ago the concensus would have supported that.

I don't think I'd go so far as to say "barbaric"... but here's my perspective. I just KNOW you've all been waiting for me to chime in.

I'm circumsized, as was my father, and as is my son. I was a little conflicted as to whether to go along with plans to circumsize my son... finally went along with the "look like Dad" argument.

Since then, I have met only one man who was circumsized as an adult. He says that sex is definitely NOT as good as it was before. A surprising loss of sensation.

I don't dwell on this, by any means... what's done is done... but I've heard the loss of sensation story a couple of times, including this thread, so I wonder if I've robbed my son of some of the sexual pleasure he would experience as an adult.

At any rate, I wish I had done some research before I just nodded my head and said "OK."

PS. I also wish our Biblical scholars who quote Old Testament scriptures would also look into the New Testament, where Paul makes it clear that "...circumsized and un-circumsized, we are all one in Christ Jesus..."
