Funny how it varies based on locality. In the UK it's pretty rare. Much more prevalent in the USA. Wonder why.
So far as I'm concerned the health benefits are pretty negligible in the first world. Very little that isn't covered by a freely available condom. The benefits of reduced incidence of fungal type infections and such are balanced by the risks involved in the proceedure. Both are fairly minor.
Personally I'd prefer my son to put up with the occasional bout of knob cheese, or the greater burning yeast pigeon (like thrush but worse) than have him snipped. Possibly cos I do minor surgery, I'm somewhat risk averse.
Strange tweak of God's design to give us an extra bit of skin then mandating that it be chopped off.
