No, in my country we dont mutilate little boys.

LOL From where i am from Circumcision is sort of like a Right of passage for Pubescent Boys(I'm from Philippines and its common occurrence here for boys to be circumcised on school tables.
Most guys here got circumcised on or before their early teen years, so when we got circumcised we are aware of what is happening,
I remember the time when i was circumcised i watched the whole process and the most painful part is the administration of Anesthesia then stitching.

Well it is not exactly mutilation IMO, sort of like some skin is sliced not cut off then stitched, i think mutilation would be more like if the skin is cut and removed.

I live in America, in the heart of the Midwest.. Circumcision central and capitol of the world, basically (aside from maybe Israel and much of the Middle East). So yep lol.

The more I'm reading about it, the more I wish I wasn't. I know my parents obviously didn't exactly have information readily available at their beck and call back in the mid 80's (no internet and all)but dammit, they are smart people and I would have thought they could have at least used a bit of critical thinking that maybe slicing off part of your infant son's genitals (which include unique parts that perform unique functions and come with tons of extra nerve endings) may not be the best move. I know humanity is very tribal in nature, and whatever is going on with others within their circle, they tend to copy. But something as permanent and significant as this I just wish they would have put more thought into.

I've read up quite a bit on manual restoration and strongly considering giving it a go.

Don't circumsized have less chance of contracting STDs? You'd think it was the other way around.

Circumsized due to phisical malfunction here.
Hurted like hell but it's worth it. This is much cleaner.

boyz in the hood

Circumsized. Happy I was to be honest, just because I think it looks better.

All the benefits are only benefits if you're lazy, yeah it's easier to keep clean but people should be keeping their privates clean foreskin or not. But apparently it's pretty common, I get complimented often on the cleanliness of mine yet I don't put in a lot of effort at all.

There's a definite reduction in the rate of urinary tract infections.  There is some debate as to whether there is a reduction in the risk of HIV transmission.  I don't recall reading about a significant impact on any other STDs.  

Correct.
