My knowledge and personal experience convinces me that male circumscision is on the whole beneficial to health. Among other things, it has recently been learned that it cuts HIV infection rates substantially.

I have also learned that those opposed to male circumcision are on the whole impervious to facts conflicting with their strongly held opinion.

Even if that were true (it isn't), I'd rather practice safe sex (not that straight men are really at risk for AIDS) than have a significant portion of my penis cut off.

I'm against circumcision, but how am I impervious to the facts about it????

I have not read anything to convince me that my husband and I made a wrong decision for our son.

If he somehow chooses to have a promiscuous lifestyle and circumcision really is proven to cut down on STDs, then he can get circumcised as an adult.
