How is circumcision safe?
Circumcision, just like any other surgery, does have risks. While most circumcisions do not have serious complications, risks include severe pain, prolonged bleeding, and infection. Every year there are a small number of deaths due to complications of infant circumcision. There are also cases of surgical error causing irreversible injuries to the penis. Given that circumcision has known medical risks and no known medical benefits, most doctors recommend against circumcision. No major medical association recommend routine infant circumcision. Circumcision is safest with adult or adolescent men who are able to keep the surgical site clean following the surgery. Circumcision is extremely uncommon in most of the world. Circumcision is far less common now in the United States than it once was. During the 1970s and 1980, around 80% of male infants were circumcised in the United States. A study conducted in the United States from 2005-2007 found that circumcision rates had fallen to below 40% in most of the United States. In the western United States, fewer than 25% of infant males were circumcised in 2005-2007. Circumcision can have long lasting consequences. Circumcision removes a normal part of the penis that functions to protect the glans of the penis. Removal of the foreskin can cause decreased sensitivity of the penis and decreased pleasure during sexual intercourse. This is yet another reason why circumcision is becoming increasingly uncommon.

Is it better to be circumcised?
Circumcision has no known medical benefit, and it can have a number of draw backs including risks of surgical complications and causing the penis to become less sensitive, resulting in less pleasure from sexual activity. However, most men are very happy with their penises whether they are circumcised or uncircumcised. The vast majority of the world's men are uncircumcised. Circumcision is practiced by some religious groups, for example by Jews and in certain sects of Islam, and is also sometimes practiced in certain cultures for non-religious reasons. Circumcision is not practiced in most other major religions including Christianity, Hinduism, and Buddhism. The foreskin, which is removed during circumcision, protects the head (glans) of the penis, allowing for the head to be more sensitive. This increased sensitivity can allow for more pleasure during sexual activity. Also the foreskin has a natural sliding motion that serves to make sexual intercourse more pleasurable and to make other sexual activities like oral sex or masturbation easier and more enjoyable. Circumcised and uncircumcised penises are both easy to keep clean. Uncircumcised men need to simply pull back the foreskin and wash the head of the penis during their daily bath or shower. There is no medical reason for routine circumcision, and no major medical association recommends the procedure. As with all surgeries, there are possible complications of circumcision including pain, bleeding, infection, and complications from anesthesia. Routine infant circumcision is becoming increasingly uncommon. In the United States, the rate of routine infant circumcision has dropped from over 80% in the 1980s to under 40% in 2007.
