It's not a religious practice in many cases. It's a hygienic practice. Regardless, it's the parents' choice in the absence of them giving birth to an 18 year old baby. And it's not a painful procedure.

hygiene ? really. If you wash your penis, you will be fine. Perhaps 200 years ago, maybe it was an issue. Hygiene is not a reason. It is mutilation. It serves no purpose. ANd as a kid, it is boring to play with. there is nothing to pull. I mean i'm thinking back in the tub was toddler and i mean face it that skin was fun to pull and play with. My uncle showed me some cool things you could do.

Cutting a piece of a baby's penis off without anesthetic (or with ineffective anesthetic) isn't painful? I'd like to see any kind of reputable study to back that up. Got one?

If your child had a grotesque facial deformity would you have it removed? Or would you cry that the procedure would be painful and serve no real medical purpose?

Nope.

How is that analogy in any way relevant? Try coming up with a cogent argument instead. I know you can do it!

Circumcision without anesthetic became increasingly rare beginning about 30 years ago.

Maybe bloodletting comes free with circumcision these days. I hear leeches are all the rage.

If the procedure was as barbaric as you all make it out to be (it's not) then why would doctors perform the procedure?

They're just jealous they don't have a good looking penis, bro.

Seriously
