Why do people get so heated about male circumcision?

I hear so many arguments against it, including (but not limited to) "the baby has no say in the decision", "it's mutilation", and "it cuts of tons of nerve endings." But it's not like your hardware is any less functional when you're circumcised. Everything still works, and you're just down a flap of useless skin. What's the big deal?

  • By that logic, we might as well have the option to remove anything that doesn't make the human body any less functional. Either way, foreskin serves a purpose.

      People defend it for one very simple reason: because it's a tradtition. If it wasn't a thing and somebody suddenly proposed we carry it out, they'd be outright assaulted with disapproval. Now you think about that.

        I'm glad I'm circumcised. Apparently many women find it more attractive and it's cleaner. People who complain about it are simply desperate to complain about something. And point supported: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/circumcision/MY01023/DSECTION=why-its-done

      • Since nobody is still talking about it, I'm bringing it up again. Give me a solid reason why the opinions of some should be forced into others. Only two reasons are justified in my mind: The loss of life or the loss of such significant quality of life. So tell me how circumcision either kills the baby or leads to a significant quality of his life.

        • I was circumcised and I don't care. People who are against it say that "It is extremely painful to the baby", but I can honestly say I have zero, zip, zilch recollection of the pain that I went through.

          • Circumcision actually reduces the risk of a certain type of cancer.

          • Gosh, it's almost like people don't like having a (usually cosmetic) procedure done to them without their consent.

            • Never circumcised and love my extra flap of skin. I won't go into detail, but it allows me to do a bunch of things you circumcised folks cant.

            • The biggest points are: A. It's completely useless and pointless. B. People have died during this mutilation. People say circumcision is cleaner. You know what actually is? Washing yourself properly. This is the 21st century. Come on.

              I don't have a penis, but this is what I know: Circumcision: -reduces the risk of urinary tract infection in the first year of life by up to 90 percent. -gives males a less likely chance to get infected with a long list of sexually transmitted diseases -reduces the chances that men will spread HPV to their wives and girlfriends, protecting them from getting cervical cancer. But as a woman, I can kind of relate with those against it. Women have gone through years of genital mutilation (mainly as "punishment" for being female, making sexual intercourse very painful), so I can see where concern comes up. I don't have a penis, so I won't take a stance on it until/if I have a baby boy of my own.

              • From what I've told cut men have little to no feeling in the tip of their dick For the longest I felt embarrassed knowing that I was more than likely the only person that was "different" amongst my friends, but now that I realize that there are perks for having the extra skin I couldn't care less, regardless, if a chick wants your dick, she'll -blam!-in' take it

                      • Because it is pointless Genital mutilation. That skin is there for a reason, although there isn't a considerable bad point about it, it is simply pointless, and quit frankly, very painful for babies, how aren't numbed before hand.

                          • Mostly because it's a third world practice that isn't really needed all that much in a first world society, nowadays people just do it for cosmetic reasons and then make several "medical" comments and blow them out of proportion to make their way seem the right way instead of it being gen¡tal mutilation.
