You may be bothered, but not all men are. You can try to deny them that thought, but if they express it I choose to believe it same as I believe that you would or do object to the loss of it.

Not trying to deny anyone anything. Rather, I'm trying to prevent boys from being denied a healthy part of their own bodies. Since one can't know or control if a particular infant will object as I always have, infant circumcision is wrong unless absolutely medically needed.

Infant circumcision is particularly insidious because the individual never had the opportunity to compare. Like being color blind or deaf all your life. The body compensates as best it can, but you really can't know what you are missing.

The body does compensate and most men who are circumcised never know the difference. America ranks with its competitors in terms of sexual fulfillment, our boys don’t seem to miss what they never had.

What they never *knew they had. As I've stated before, the more a man learns about the structures and functions lost during circumcision, the more likely he is to be unhappy about it.

Perhaps in your experience, but that hasn’t translated into real numbers yet.

So we should continue to violate the bodily autonomy of men until what.. ? What's done is done. All I'm interested in is getting it to stop. I left my boys intact, and the statistics suggest they will be happy that way all their lives.

There’s no statistics that suggest that cut men are unhappy. Men will make decisions as fathers as to if they will leave their child intact if they feel their autonomy was violated by their parents.

Actually, there are. This study found 64.2% of men cut as newborns view it negatively - yet another reason why it's not better to cut an infant as opposed to an adult. Only 5.5% of intact men viewed that status negatively (See Table 2)https://www.researchgate.net/publication/319635437_Attitude_Toward_One's_Circumcision_Status_Is_More_Important_than_Actual_Circumcision_Status_for_Men's_Body_Image_and_Sexual_Functioning …

I appreciate the research but even the study admits that there are likely extreme biases toward a polarized view of circumcision and that the date is not likely at all representative of general population.

As with any good study the authors stated its limitations, though your characterizations ("extreme biases" & "not likely at all representative") go beyond what they said & what's fair.
Do you think we're headed a world w/fewer or more men w/a polarized view of #circumcision?
