The sensation argument is a fucking sham, obviously. Any cut guys who've ever come inside of somebody else fucking know better.
However, I would understand the strength of an argument positing that circumcision when performed on prepubescent males is a form of psychological trauma insofar as it inflicts an almost unconscious violation of ones genital integrity that has become so commonplace on a social level, it is practically a form of fertility and violence control. When I say psychological trauma though, I mean that to be taken with the same grain of salt that you would consider school or pain to be "traumatic"; all life and living, especially as an impressionable pup, is traumatic in that it forms the basis of your adult personality.
It would certainly be interesting to see whether or not there is any correlation of rape rate in countries where circumcision is largely uncommon - where males are not ingrained from an unconscious age to cower or be cognizant of their loins to a point of behavioural control.
