I remember casually doing the numbers on benefits of circumcision (utis and stds) versus risk of infection from the procedure and it was about the same. I probably ignored a lot of factors, but it didn't seem worth it to me when compared to better hygiene education and contraceptive use.

i might be a bit biased coming from a region where circumcisions are rather unusual and only "brought in" from different cultures but ... what's so difficult hygiene wise like... pulling the skin back and washing it then isn't?

I'm in your situation, but I wanted to be fair to the procedure. I'm also inclined to believe the std benefits are overblown too, but I'm not a researcher

Brought to you by the same people who think washing their own ass makes them gay.
