  • Generally, we don't. It's usually done shortly after birth and without anesthetic. The guy, being of course only an infant, has no say in the matter. Also for some religions (most notably Judaism) it's a religious rite.

    It does make a difference as to how things feel during sex, I'm sure, but what difference it makes and how much difference it makes few men can say. Most men have not been circumcised late enough in life so as to have had intercourse both with and without a foreskin. And even then it's probably a subjective thing and varies from guy to guy.

    As evidenced by most of the answers, what little that most people know about it is largely myth. An uncircumcised penis is no less clean and hygienic than a circumcised one. Having sex with an uncircumcised guy is more dangerous than with a circumcised one.

    If having a foreskin was truly so unsanitary why would it be there in the first place? It's female counterpart, the hood of the clitoris, isn't cut off at birth, why should a guys foreskin be? It's an obsolete medical procedure that has little benefit, if any.

  • It's usually done at birth so guys don't have much of a choice usually. Circumcision is relatively uncommon in Europe but it's quite common in the USA. Personally I don't think it's right for parents to amputate parts of their kids bodies without a good medical reason.

  • its so they don't get infections.. uncircumsized guys have to pull back the skin to clean themslfs

    • All cleaning can be done within 10 seconds under a shower. Circumcision to avoid infection only makes sense when the foreskin is too tight to be pulled back, which is very rare.

    • Lol

    • That's a myth

  • The guys don't get a say about this, their parents do

  • Its cleaner, and more neat. I do believe you will feel less during sex though.

  • this article presents both sides of the issue very clearly.

  • To avoid getting smegma and to not have an anteater-looking penis

    • Lol! You're Jewish!

    • Yeah, which is why I don't have cockcheese

  • most of the time it's not by their own choice, the moment a male infant is born the parent decides for them.

  • We don't get a say in it. It's up to our parents.

  • It can prevent cancer later on in life, I'm not sure exactly what kind though

  • Chances are there's not a guy on here that could tell you if it feels different during sex. Parents choose at birth and that's the option guys have for the rest of their life. I was at birth, but if I wasn't there is no way I'd do it now. That's an area I would like to keep knives away from.

  • Because mothers at birth choose to chop part of her babies penis off because it looks nicer, or some idiotic religious reason.. Keep in mind its mostly mothers that choose to mutilate their babies before they can even give any kind of consent.

    • Because the mother chooses to mutilate their babies because they think the circumcised penis is more attractive.. The American society of pediactrics bas stated that there are benefits but not enough to make every baby get the procedure done

      After a comprehensive review of the scientific evidence, the American Academy of Pediatrics found the health benefits of newborn male circumcision outweigh the risks, but the benefits are not great enough to recommend universal newborn circumcision. The AAP policy statement published Monday, August 27, says the final decision should still be left to parents to make in the context of their religious, ethical and cultural beliefs.

  • No idea... I didn't have sex before I was 2.

  • Ask the parents. It is not like the kid has any say in it.

  • Yes circumcision makes everything bad

  • i've heard that it lessens the feeling and that sexual activities don't feel "as good" as they could. honestly, i don't understand why more women wouldn't want a circumsized man. in theory, having less sensation would make him last longer. it's also more hygenic
