Originally posted by Smoothie: There is no proof whatsoever that circumcision prevents infections. Being clean prevents infection. That being said, I chose to have my son circumcised for social ramifications. Almost all boys in America are circumcized and those who are not are looked at as the odd man out. Especially among women. I myself prefer the look of a circumcized one to a non. Is it abuse?, I don't think so, but it does cause pain, so does being born. It is just do you want physical pain early in life, or mental pain later in life in my opinion.
