Male circumcision, particularly when the foreskin is completely amputated, as in typical US medical style, completely exposes the glans -- that is, the head. Because the glans is designed to be an internal body part, such as the inside of the eyelids or cheek, it is meant to remain moist at all times. Through circumcision, the glans becomes calloused, hardened, and loses its natural sensitivity. In rare cases it has resulted in the loss of the glans or the penis itself through infection.

Stimulation of the glans is key to reaching orgasm, so the sexual impact of circumcision is that intercourse requires a more fervent and strenuous effort in order to achieve orgasm.

The worldwide estimate of males circumcised is 10-20%, and it is only rarely recommended for medical reasons. In some countries it is illegal.

Female circumcision, on the other hand, is almost universally outlawed. This entails a cutting away of either the clitorisor inner labia. In many cases no future sexual pleasure can be experienced, and in some cases the girl is unable to conceive. It is typically performed by non-medical people for cultural reasons, and it results in the ultimate oppression and sexual objectification of the young girls who fall victim to it.

Well they're right. There are no reasons except forimediate medical problems and religious ones to perform circumcisions. I live in Sweden and here in Europe it's only done for those reasons. I've heard people say it's hard to clean but that is not true. Not harder then for us women. The foreskin is there for a reason which is to protect. It's not done as a routine anywhere in this world.
