In BB King’s autobiography, there’s a chapter called “Circumcision is no laughing matter.” He suffered from infections and was circumcised as an adult. It stopped the infections.

Maybe there’s some benefits, but he said he would have rather had it when he was an infant.

My mother told me her older brother had to be circumcised as a teen and was in agony for days from it. She and all her siblings were born at home so it was not cone.

A good friend told me that her father demanded that all the sons and grandsons be circumcised. It was not done in the old country and during the war (WW1 I think) the rate of infection and gangrene was unbelievable among the uncircumcised men.

That would be enough for me. Gangrene?!?! Eeewww!!
