So I was circumcised as a baby and I personally don't mind that my parents did that. BUT isn't it similar to giving children hormone blockers (obviously not as extreme, but the principle). To my understanding the surgery is purely cosmetic and causes the nerve endings to be destroyed making sex less pleasurable. Do you guys support parents circumcising their children? Is it ethically wrong to make that decision for a child?

My 2 cents... I am not circumcised. Nor have I ever had any infection to control or prevent. When I shower, I wash me. For 62 years, that's been it, for 62 years there has never been an issue with anything hygiene related. I think, back a few hundred years when showers and baths and soaps and warm water were hard to come by, perhaps it did help with some hygiene issues but in this modern day world I see it as a practice that needs to stop. Once again, man thinking he is smarter than God. If God has chosen to give me foreskin, I'm keeping it!
