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?

I was told in my family that circumcision is preferable due to easier hygiene practices
thats fine, but why can't the individuals make that decision when they are of age.
I think that the problem arises when the kid is a bit older and does not remember to clean properly and ends up more often having infections and doctor visits.
i'd have to look into the stats to see how common that is.
