There is no real benefit to circumcision, lol. If there is no medical indication, then it cannot be a medical decision made by the parents. We're talking about permanently removing a piece of the child's body and subjecting him to an unnecessary (albeit small) risk of complications. If you think there's a good reason for doing it, lmk. After all, why draw the line at circumcision? Might as well remove some other body parts cause "he wouldn't do it afterwards nor would he remember the pain".
You can't compare yourself to someone who's uncut cause you have no idea what it's like to be uncut. So while you may be ok with the situation, and indeed a lot of people are, you still can't compare and claim you're better off cut. An uncut person still has the possibility to get cut, but it doesn't quite work out vice versa.
There was a study done a while back (european study iirc) where it showed that those who were snipped were at a reduced risk of contracting STis over those who were not snipped. The contraction rates were lower among the group who were circumcised
Then ofc in the 3rd world where cleanliness is still an issue it is possibly a legitimate reason to do it there as well.
There are medical benefits to being circumcised. To say there are none is ignorance to the facts. I don't think the benefits are worth the hassle though
I'm not snipped and my children won't be either. I don't really see the point as cleanliness shouldn't be an issue here and if don't put your dick in any/every hole you can find, you'll be fine.
