Another common response to this discussion. AFAIK, it takes mere seconds to wipe the inside of your foreskin with your finger while in the shower. Done.
People who support circumcision usually can't process the idea that something ridiculously unnecessary and rather cruel to a child (even though none of us have memories of it, for obvious reasons) was done to them by their parents about at a very young age, for almost uniformly religious decisions. Homo Sapiens lived without circumcision for at least 100,000 years, very likely more. We've been cutting a part of our dicks off for 2000-ish years, and there are virtually no good scientific reasons for it, other than:
- It's easier to clean (supposedly)
- It is less easier to get AIDS (so is wearing a condom)
- We want little Billy to be just like Daddy, it would be hard to explain otherwise...
What Is Lost During Circumcision?
Should we start suppressing women's breast growth during puberty so they won't get breast cancer? Chew on that for a bit.
