I was never circumsized in life, and I don't really see any disadvantage in not having been. I just had a male grandchild and a male great grandchild born this week, both are being circumsized. My understanding of the procedure is that it is traumatic for the child. No one has been able to justify to me the reason for this, other than that they claim it is more sanitary for the penis. Men who have been circumsized as adults, say that it is quite painful, and does diminish the sexual sensation. No one I know has said that there was a definite advantage to them. It must be a religious imposition of some type. I'm not about to let any surgeon come near me with any kind of cutting equipment, I want all my parts in tact when I depart.
