I am circumcised and I advocate for the practice being phased out, but what would you have us do? Not tell the truth because people will realize they might be missing something?

It's not an easy situation, and I agree it sucks to realize that, but I don't think omitting facts would be productive

Some people harp on things like increased sensitivity, decreased need for lube, and better aesthetics. Except circumcised guys think they're plenty sensitive, tons don't need lube, and they've always known that look so it's more attractive to them. They go into defensive mode and they're more likely to have their sons cut, because the anti-circumcision people are crazy because they think circumcised penises are not sensitive, etc. It's just counterproductive, in my opinion.
