I am against the mutilation of genitalia for either sex before the age of eighteen. If you want to to it after you turn 18, go for it. But that is just me.

There's an argument to be made in favor of it for boys.Studies have shown fewer incidents of cancers in males who've had it.Apart from pain I don't know if there's any real downside.

For girls there's no upside...it's just a barbaric act of 9th Century knuckledraggers.

Well there is certainly less breast cancer in women who have had their breasts removed - and less cancer of the prostate in those who have had their prostate removed - and eunuchs never seem to get testicular cancer.

Penis cancer is very rare. Getting part of your penis removed because it reduces that risk is like a woman getting part of her breasts removed to reduce the risk of breast cancer (well other than that breast cancer is much more prevalent).
