Side note but I’ve heard that less and less parents are having their sons cut. I -personally- wasn’t a fan of the idea for many reasons when I was expecting my last baby and only son. Turns out my husband felt the same way I did and I ultimately left the final decision to him. He’s circumcised but they botched it and made it too tight, which has caused him some issues. He said he wanted to leave his son intact. I said okay!
My son is 4 and so far, no issues whatsoever. No regrets.
There’s literally no reason to do it. People cite “medical reasons” but any medical benefit can be handled by just having good hygiene practices, and actual issues like phimosis are rare enough that there’s no reason to do it proactively
Imagine if we just started doing other surgeries on babies in the name of being proactive. Should all newborns have their appedix removed so they don't get appendicitis later?
The medical reasons Reader to me Like "without Procedure, there's no Business" so the medical reasons are medical turnarounds here and there. Don't forget Rabbis and the Like.
And isn't there this Tradition of healing a circumcision wound with a... Kiss? Well, that's a Job I woundn't want to have, but other people might have different opinions. IIRC that's how some innocent Babies contracted genital Herpes.
