OK - the fine for the woman is ludicrous. As for the procedure itself, I'm Jewish by origin and got done at 8 days old. I have no way to tell if I am less sensitive that those that are in-tact.
Jewish guys tend to tell other Jewish guys that women are keener on giving BJ's to circumcised penises as its cleaner and neater. Again - I have no way to tell.
Health benefits? Apparently cervical cancer is rarer amongst Jewish girls that non-Jewish ones (not checked that - what I have heard - from my Jewish friends). It does appear that there is a slightly reduced risk with regards to HIV.
Frankly I simply haven't given the whole thing much thought as there's not a whole hell of a lot I can do about it. A friend of mine had it done recently as his foreskin was problematic. He hasn't mentioned any adverse side effects (then again he wasn't enjoying sex before as it was painful for him - so I guess things have improved now).
I don't think we can validly compare male to female circumcision - the latter being a far more invasive and detrimental procedure.

Kuusi palaa, ja on viimeinen kerta kun annan vaimoni laittaa jouluvalot!
