Don't mutilate the genitals of children. This isn't hard to understand, you don't need to be a scientist to know this to be self evident.

I understand the foreskin argument. It's a weird thing. I am child-free. But live where circumcision is the standard. Would I opt for it as an adult? I don't know. I have put very little thought into it. Am I upset that I didn't have that choice, nah. I feel like it makes my dick look more aesthetically attractive.

I personally feel that foreskin makes dicks look more animal-like. I know that they are "supposed" to look like. There is something more appealing to me in a circumcised penis. I find the shriveled looking foreskin that look like they twist at the end to be kind of off-putting. There's also a hygiene factor involved. Foreskin traps and ferments sweat, urine and cum leakage. That will lead to way more smegma.

Smegma is the potent fishy slimy stuff that festers wherever skin folds in genital areas. Smegma is usually only an issue if you're overweight, sweat a lot and don't bathe on a regular basis. However with foreskin it seems to be much more difficult to control. Takes more maintenance. I understand foreskin is a valuable evolutionary tool to protect and possibly assist in reproduction. In our modern society, not having foreskin could have a net positive effect on a person's life.

I mean, the main reason it is being removed in religion is to make sex not about pleasure, removing it makes the dick less sensitive.

By about 99%, in my estimation.

It also changes the entire "sex" thing from one of man & woman in an act of communion, into one of frenzied, obsessive FRICTION. When your glans is 100 times more sensitive, you don't need that crazed pumping. The whole sexual life is transformed for the worse by circumcision. It prevents proper man-woman intimacy and connection.

IT IS A TERRIBLE MUTILATION.
