This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 89%. (I'm a bot)

Circumcised boys are 16-26 times more likely to develop urinary tract problems, shows new research.

Physicians are aware of the relationship between circumcision and narrowing of the urinary opening, says Thorup, but according to hospital records, meatal stenosis only affects 0.5 per cent of circumcised boys, whereas around 0.17 per cent of intact boys get the problem due to a skin disease known as BXO. That is a noticeably higher proportion of circumcised boys, but not in the order of 26 times more.

"Our findings, coupled with clinical evidence that between 5 and 20 per cent of circumcised boys will eventually develop meatus stenosis, document a need for a thorough assessment of the extent of urinary tract problems and other complications after non-therapeutic circumcision of boys," write the researchers in the article published in The Surgeon.

It doesn't matter what my circumcision status is. It is irrelevant.

Are women in the USA circumcised? 99.9% of them aren't. Does that make their argument any less valid? No, it doesn't.

What if there was unbiased research that suggested cutting little girl's genitals was beneficial to their long-term health? I can imagine the controversy with applying the same scientific rationale to little girls as is currently applied to little boys.

If you support abortion rights, which basically enshrines the principle of bodily autonomy (at least for adults), then you should also support the right of every child to have their genitals left intact unless there is a very serious justification for doing otherwise - and there is NOT.

Giving adults the right to control what happens to their genitals, yet denying those same rights to a child is the worst form of hypocrisy.

Adults have the right to bodily autonomy. If I want my penis cut, I can give consent. Babies cannot consent, but they should have the final say as to what happens to their genitalia.

And female genital cutting is illegal. If scientific research suggested cutting little girls clitoral hoods would reduce their lifetime chances of various diseases, would you be able to justify doing the same thing to little girl's clitoral hoods?

I don't think you would. So you're a hypocrite.

It's not your penis, it's not your clitoris, it's not yours to cut. End of story.

Why are people so angry about circumcision in this sub lol

Oh, I don't know...

Thanks Daddy! "LOL":

Male circumcision causes terrible damage to the male penis, and psychological problems that can last a lifetime. It's no surprise circumcision for purely "medical" reasons in confined to the USA and a few other countries.

In western Europe there is now a growing movement to outlaw it as genital mutilation, on a par with FGM.

Note: The vast majority of these links from reputable scientific journals, with peer-reviewed research.

4: Despite the reduced sensitivity, there is no change to lasting longer during sex.

Which was the reason it was promoted in the USA in the first place.

7: If too much skin is removed in circumcision, it can make the penis smaller since the dong needs some skin to expand during an erection:

8: Circumcision does not lower the risk of AIDS.

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22096758/

9: Circumcision is more hygienic. Who the heck doesn't clean their penis? It's a three second job you do when you shower so this is not a valid argument. Women produce 10 times as much smegma as men - so it's OK to amputate an infant girls' labia lips so she doesn't have to wash them??

29: Circumcision may lead to abnormal brain development and subsequent deviations in behaviour

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10657682

30: CONCLUSIONS: This study confirms the importance of the foreskin for penile sensitivity, overall sexual satisfaction, and penile functioning: Furthermore, this study shows that a higher percentage of circumcised men experience discomfort or pain and unusual sensations as compared with the uncircumcised population.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23374102?dopt=Abstract

31: CONCLUSIONS: Circumcision was associated with frequent orgasm difficulties in Danish men and with a range of frequent sexual difficulties in women, notably orgasm difficulties, dyspareunia and a sense of incomplete sexual needs fulfilment.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21672947

32: CONCLUSION: There was a decrease in masturbatory pleasure and sexual enjoyment after circumcision, indicating that adult circumcision adversely affects sexual function in many men, possibly because of complications of the surgery and a loss of nerve endings.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17155977

33: CONCLUSIONS: The glans of the circumcised penis is less sensitive to fine touch than the glans of the uncircumcised penis. The transitional region from the external to the internal prepuce is the most sensitive region of the uncircumcised penis and more sensitive than the most sensitive region of the circumcised penis. Circumcision ablates the most sensitive parts of the penis.

a harmless religious... practice

Sure. "LOL" 😀

You can watch an infant boy being sexually fondled and masturbated here by a mohel. He's given a forced erection, so then it's easier for the child sex-abuser to mutilate his penis:

https://youtu.be/yaaw7wivUN4?t=3m12s

And here is the proof that this is all deliberate:

In the "Surgery of Ritual Circumcision", Dr. Snowman states, "When the penis of an infant is in a state of erection the operation is more easily performed and the dressing more efficiently applied."

A PDF of the book can be found here:

https://www.15square.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/ND000946.pdf

Here a mohel describes how the point of circumcision is to damage the boy's sexuality:

https://youtu.be/XN65C9tbLP0?t=10m34s

And here he is again, showing the torture and rape tools he will use:

https://youtu.be/XN65C9tbLP0?t=4s

And here's the mohel applying his penis-torture clamp and then amputating the boy's foreskin and mutilating his penis. Turn your volume up to hear those screams! LOL:

https://youtu.be/TEJrYltJzi0?t=3m18s

You can watch a full mutilation here in a child-sex-abuse hospital. The little boy will be raped by having a metal probe forced in-between his foreskin and the glans of the penis. The foreskin is adhered to the glans and birth, and does not separate until he is older. The rape-probe tears the two apart — rather like having a needle forced under your fingernail.

Then the boy will be tortured by having a clamp applied to his penis and his foreskin crushed. Then the child sex-abuser will mutilate his penis by amputating his foreskin.

https://youtu.be/W2PKdDOjooA?t=3m2s

This lucky little boy then gets a "Happy Ending" — the child sex-abuser sucks his bleeding penis, gives him herpes and then the kid gets brain damaged for life or, SPECIAL BONUS, dies.

https://youtu.be/TEJrYltJzi0?t=3m40s

http://failedmessiah.typepad.com/failed_messiahcom/2013/03/15-babies-die-every-year-in-nyc-from-metzitzah-bpeh-herpes-hospitals-cover-up-deaths-leading-yu-rabbi-claims-567.html

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2304793/Two-babies-stricken-HERPES-ritual-oral-blood-sucking-circumcision-New-York-City.html

And note that Jewish ritual sexual mutilation specifically prohibits any attempt to reduce the pain of the amputation. These guys, are hard-core Taliban/ISIS types who specifically state that the fundamental point, or "commandment" (mitzvah) of the mutilation is to cause physical pain to the infant victim:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brit_milah#Anesthetic

"Most prominent acharonim rule that the mitzvah of brit milah lies in the pain it causes, and anesthetic, sedation, or ointment should generally not be used. However, it is traditionally common to feed the infant a drop of wine or other sweet liquid to soothe him."

"Eliezer Waldenberg, Yechiel Yaakov Weinberg, Shmuel Wosner, Moshe Feinstein and others agree that the child should not be sedated, although pain relieving ointment may be used under certain conditions; Shmuel Wosner particularly asserts that the act ought to be painful, as per Psalms 44:23."

"The bodily pain caused to that member is the real purpose of circumcision."

— Moses Maimonides (1135-1204). One of the greatest Jewish sages.

http://www.cirp.org/library/cultural/maimonides/

This poll shows the vast majority of Jews say no anaesthetic should be used:

http://www.thejc.com/poll/should-a-mohel-use-anaesthetic

Even the UK Jewish Medical Association states that no anaesthetic must be used by the child-sex-abuser:

http://jewishmedicalassociationuk.org/uk-jewish-medical-issues/circumcision

So pedophillia, fondling, masturbation, rape, penis torture, genital mutilation, oral sex, herpes infection, brain damage and death.

All in the name of "religion".

Nice.
