Is it better to be circumcised?

Answer 1

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.
