Your figure for “infection or inflammation” is inflated, and they can easily be treated. Your figure for UTIS means 991 circumcisions out of every thousand are wasted.

“Circumcised male have [sic] no need to worry about daily cleansing of his foreskin” To coin a phrase, “Eew, Gross!”

“It may move inside them in a less friction-based manner” The natural moving part on the end of the whole penis enhances sensation (the “French tickler” is an artificial substitute.)

“It all comes down to a matter of personal taste…” We’re talking about cutting part of the genitals off, forever. Whose personal taste trumps that of the genitals’ owner? And please don’t say “Parents have to make many decisions for their children” – they don’t have to make any other decision like that one.

Contrary to what the previous commentor would have us believe, the most comprehensive and well-designed experiment to date demonstrated that 98.5% of 4,500 men who were circumcised as adults, and who had already experienced sex, were satisfied with their sex life following the procedure. This was statistically identical to the uncircumcised control group (98.4% were satisfied).

Peer reviewed science trumps magazine articles and activist websites every time.

Contrary to popular belief, circumcision does adversely affect the sexual experience for both males and females. The foreskin contains tens of thousands of specialized, erogenous nerve endings; and provides the sliding and gliding mechanism that allows for nonabrasive, lubricating, normal sexual intercourse for both the male and female.

In addition, here is what the male loses when he is circumcised:
