Exactly!

Sweden, where hardly any male is circumcised, has lower rates of STD occurrence than, say, Pakistan, where practically every male is circumcised.

The “hygiene” excuse is bogus, and the only reason hospitals and charlatans therein advocate it is because of the extra income it brings in.

The foreskin is extremely densely innervated and folds over to form the sensory input for the shaft of the penis during intercourse, besides protecting the glans when not in use. It’s not for no reason that such a functional tissue exists on the penis. No male deserves to be deprived of this natural function against his will - through the practice of a disgusting barbarism that has no place in today’s times.

Amen. Whether you believe in creation, intelligent design, or evolution, the foreskin is there for a reason. We don’t go around removing any other normal, functional organs or tissues just because decades later and very rarely they might become diseased. Male circumcision is really quite similar to female genital mutilation. The tissue involved are homologous in both sexes. In both cases, everything is removed which some primitive tribesmen could remove without preventing reproduction. The tissue which is removed is, in the adult, the size of a playing card; it is not “a little snip” of “excess skin.”

It’s a fundamental issue of individual human rights. No one owns your body but you. No, not your parents, not the medical establishment either.
