It makes sense...as much as anything like it makes sense..as a ritual of tribal inclusion.
Just like this- ...but we don't let people do that to kids either.....and we don;t let them mutilate female genitalia, either.

I can see the argument against it as you're cutting a piece of skin off from a baby. On the other hand, circumcision does have health benefits as it helps prevent infections and the spread of STD's. It's all about whether or not you think the "evil" (cutting a piece of skin off a baby) outweighs the good (preventing future complications/infections). Whether or not it should be legal should also depend on that. The argument for it that I heard came from my mother in law back when I asked her about it. She's a doctor. Anyway, what she said was basically that she's seen way too many uncircumcused older men and men with disabilities get infections because they aren't able to clean between the foreskin very thoroughly everyday, and so bacteria builds up in there and gets inside the urethra. In some cases, they have to end up getting a circumcision to treat or prevent the recurring issue. Problem is, doing a circumcision on a fully developed penis is a more severe and complicated procedure than doing it on a new born's penis. So may as well get it taken care of when it's easy and simple to prevent bigger problems down the line, is what she says. As far as sex goes, condom would certainly prevent the STD issue, and washing the foreskin right before sex would prevent giving the woman a UTI. It's up to the guy to be responsible about it though. Like I said - when it comes to things like this, it's about whether or not the benefits are worth the procedure. I think cutting off a person's feet would be a much bigger hindrance to the person and their quality of life than not having a foreskin, and so is definitely not justifiable to cut off feat to prevent infected toes.

I am perfectly fine with parents choosing to cut off a part of their male children's pen0rs.

Having it done as a baby where you don't have the anxiety pre procedure, and you won't remember it post worked out perfectly. There are lots of guys with nice physiques and charming personalities who have dicks they don't find gross. Rather than mutilation, I think of it like braces for teeth. I didn't get consulted on that one either. Parents just slapped them on. I could have have had fucked up teeth my whole childhood, and then got braces when I was an adult. But the way it played out, again, worked out way better than the alternative.

Also what woman is going to be in love with your physique, and find your personality charming, but then you drop your pants and she calls the relationship off? You can't compare getting braces to getting circumcised. It would be like noticing your teeth are crooked, and deciding to have all your baby teeth pulled out prematurely. They're cutting off the ends of baby dicks, usually because an outdated holy book tells them to.

Braces for teeth? What is circumcision supposed to be correcting? Are kids born with crooked dicks? Will lopping off the tip of their dick correct that misalignment?
