That is what I was thinking. This procedure is mainly done for religious purposes. If parents have the procedure done on their children, then they are probably instilling other morals and values on them. Perhaps monogamous sex with a wife or husband?

Although Jews and Muslims (the two circumcising religions) comprmise less than 4% of the American population, male circumcision is about 60% of the populaion.

Mostly has been done because it is an insurance billable procedure.

Remember folks...follow the money

It still is the only reason.

These studies are dubious at best. It is the same old BS science done by the usual advocates of circumcision. IOW done to justify their religious perspective into the scientific realm.

These are the same quality scientists who opposed lumpectomies vs radical mastectomies. (or radical hysterectomies vs polyp removal.)
