the risks involved with circumcision have a dramatic increase when the patient is older. the possibility of any complication when done as a baby are very very small. when it is done as adults its because they need it medically, which isnt too uncommon either. and there can also be emotional and mental distress for years over it.

And the difficulties of restoring foreskin are even greater, and likewise the emotional and mental distress. The fact of the matter is that circumcision is quite pointless, with the exception of some very rare medical conditions such as phimosis. Very few grown men would subject themselves to it willingly (especially if you take into consideration to loss of sensitivity), which is exactly what the pro-circumcision crowd is afraid of.

i guarantee you that the amount of people wanting to reverse the circumcision they had as a baby is smaller than the amount that will need it removed as adults.

As long as we are talking numbers.I guarantee you that thepeople who would choose circumcision at an age they can actually choose would be significantly smaller than the people who have the procedure forced upon them as a child. That right there should be telling you something.

the fact that circumcised men would rather be circumcised and that noncircumcised men would prefer to not be circumcised only tells me that people like what they are used to.  certainly not that one is definitely more right than the other.

Funny, that tells me that people would rather not get circumcised, and the ones who had it forced upon them are being super defensive about it. It's like the console war, except the focus is on the fact that a piece of the guy's dick is missing. If people go through such amazing lengths to try to justify and defend their console, just think of what they would do to defend their dick. ESPECIALLY if it wasn't their choice to begin with.

The only ones who have a valid opinion about the state of being circumcised are the ones who have been circumcised at an age they were able to choose to do so for themselves. Interestingly, they appear to be sort of a minority. As I said, that should tell you just how wrong it is for parents to circumcise their children.
