Even Jews Are Axeing Circumcision

[Ironside]

As I have said before, some are medical, and some are social/esthetic:

1) Reduced risk of STDs
2) Women (in my experience) find it more attractive and are more willing to perform certain "services"
3) Easier maintenance
4) Reduced risk of cancer
5) (In my son's case) Looking the same as his father and hence feeling "normal" (that was my wife's main reason for supporting the decision, along with the esthetic issue)

So, what are the drawbacks of circumcision?

Without any particular research:
1) 2 and 5 reversed.
2) Risk of complications during the procedure
3) Increased numbness down there
4) Financial cost

It's fairly certain that the benefit/drawback ratio is pretty much close to 1, minor drawbacks and minor benefits.

I am not the one with a fixed goal Lemur, you are. I am not trying to convince you to circumcise your children; I couldn't care less what you do with your kids. In fact, if you're not circumcised, I think it's probably a better decision not to circumcise your own kids (see #5 above). On the other hand, you have been doing your best this thread to convince everybody else how evil circumcision is backed up by only vague references to how "it's bad for the childrens."

My rationale has not been shifting. I have maintained the same reasoning the entire thread.

Lemur isn't refering to your rationale, he refers to how the public message of why circumcision is good has changed several times since 1900 (when it started to become popular).
It's that he finds suspicious (he had 2 major threads on this before).

Edit: Xiahou is that the same area were dry sex are popular in Africa? It's been talked about in earlier threads.
