      One of two reasons: 1 - religion - if cutting for religion you need a ritual and what not, to expose the kid to more danger than the genital mutilation would normally 2 - money - even in countries with socialised medicine they don't pay for a parent to mutilate their sons anymore

      If removing the prepuce of a male penis was mutilation, there would be less people in the world.

      That makes absolutely no sense what so ever, as mutilation neither kills nor renders a person infertile automatically. It is a mutilation as it fits the definition of mutilation, just because some people are attracted to and fetishize that mutilation does not change anything.

      Please do not insult my intelligence nor that of billions of men who were circumcised.

      I'm honestly waiting for you to give a clear thought there, your assertion makes no sense whatsoever, it appears to be a half formed statement. Cutting off a healthy part of the body without the consent of that person is the very definition of mutilation, period.

      Nope, because the prepuce is not as useful as you might think. And because circumcised men don’t find they were mutilated. Their penis works well and they have a good sex. Male circs are not mutilation.

      And that doesn't change the fact that it's a mutilation. It is cutting off a body part that is perfectly healthy without consent of the person. Your definition of mutilation is very narrow and most FGM doesn't even fit it.

      A prepuce is not a body part. It’s just extra skin. Look I’ve known men who did not get circs, and wished they had.

      Never too late, so they must not want to be cut as much as you think. If they did, they'd get anesthetic while the prepuce (w/all its nerves & blood vessels) was removed. Surgically. Because as everyone with even an ounce of intelligence knows, the prepuce is a body part🙄

      And everyone with a penis should know about Balanitis, Cancer of the prepuce, Phimosis, HPV and more issues which result in the need to get circumcised .

      The small risk of those conditions certainly doesn't create a "need" to force #circumcision - amputation of a valuable body part - on a healthy child. Parents can validly permit surgery on a child only for diagnosis or treatment. Circumcision is neither. https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/pediatrics/95/2/314.full.pdf …
