A practice of removing the foreskin from the human male penis to expose the glans.
Only common in the Jewish faith and in the United States, the vast majority of the developed world having paid attention to the research indicating it's a completely unnecessary and barbaric practice. Neonatal circumcision is illegal in a few countries and never offered on nationalised health care unless there is a problem with the ability of the foreskin to retract and expose the glans.
Reduces sensitivity by causing callousing of the glans tissue and if performed incorrectly can result in almost complete loss of penile sensation and resulting sexual dysfunction.
The vast majority of human males are not circumcised.

Boyle et al. stated that "the genitally intact male has thousands of fine touch receptors and other highly erogenous nerve endings—many of which are lost to circumcision, with an inevitable reduction in sexual sensation experienced by circumcised males." They concluded, "Evidence has also started to accumulate that male circumcision may result in lifelong physical, sexual, and sometimes psychological harm as well."
Sorrells et al., using monofilament touch-test mapping, found that the foreskin contains the most sensitive parts of the penis, noting that these parts are lost to circumcision. They also found that "the glans of the circumcised penis is less sensitive to fine-touch than the glans of the uncircumcised penis."

It's the removal of the foreskin. It's not a "sadistic rite," insanity, or a barbaric act. It's a surgical procedure that parents may choose to have their boys undergo for the best interests of the child, or at the recommendation of a doctor.
Circumcision eliminates problems with retracting the foreskin and inflammation of the foreskin. It also may reduce the risk of penile cancer and urinary tract infections. Aside from that, many people don't consider a drooping hunk of skin at the end of a sex organ to be very attractive.
Hygiene is an issue with circumcision. You can see why the hygiene argument might have a basis in circumcision, since the foreskin acts as a storage unit for nasty substances. It doesn't take long for bacteria to multiply and become great in number, and for build-ups to happen. See smegma.
Label on a penis: Not circumcised. Wash before and after sex, masturbation, or public display.
Come on, people. Circumcision's a personal point of view. Be happy with what you have. The only "damage" here is that caused by people that tell circumcised males that they _are_ damaged or "mutilated!"
Mutilation: the destruction of something to where it is not nearly what it was or how it used to perform. Well, if circumcision is sexual mutilation, how come America (with the majority of males circumcised) are happy people -- many with children?

An unnecessary surgery of removing of the foreskin of the male reproductive organ, most typically preformed after a few days after birth. The natural job of the foreskin is to protect the head or tip of the penis from abrasion. IT IS NOT MERELY EXTRA SKIN, IT IS A VITAL COMPONENT TO THE MALE REPRODUCTIVE ORGAN.
This is done for either religious or hygiene purposes. It has been proven both by science and by common sense that not only is this surgery unnecessary, it makes the penis less sensitive over time. This is so, because the glands are not being lubricated and enriched by the foreskin. Instead they are being dried out by the harshness of friction and the air.
GOD MAKES NO MISTAKES, DON'T CIRCUMCISE YOUR BABY!!!

When I was just a few days old, my parents decided allow a doctor to preform a mutilation i mean circumcision on my penis. Due to my parents unawareness on the negative aspects on this unnecessary operation, they both gave the doctor implied consent to cut away a part of my manhood. The doctor told my parents it would make it easier for me to stay clean down there.
The doctor turned out to be right, but only with the expense of experiencing sexual pleasure to its fullest quality. FUCK YOU DOCTOR ASSHOLE!

The act of removing a natural, normal body part, that most Americans think is a birth defect that every man just "happens to have"
That boy has some mysterious growth around the head of his penis, just like every other boy in the world! He should get a circumcision

The act of surgically removing the foreskin from a man's penis. The surgery is usually done to boys as infants. Reasons range from religious (practiced in the Jewish and Muslim faiths) to personal (many fathers want their sons to be like them; some parents worry about their sons not being like other boys) to health (birth defects or physical problems that could be fixed or relieved with the removal of the foreskin). The act is most common in Jewish and Muslim countries, as well as the United States (though the rate is decreasing). Most boys in Europe, Asia and Central and South America are not circumcised.
Although it has been a controversial subject for many years, most doctors now agree that the surgery is not beneficial except in individual, health-related cases. Most insurance companies no longer cover the surgery. A penis generally functions the same way circumcised or not, so the only real difference is aesthetic.

John was not circumcised because his parents didn't feel there was good reason to do so.
Daniel and Elizabeth's son was circumcised as a part of their Jewish faith.

A barbaric deevolving caveman act, with roots to virgin sacrifices.
Circumcision is so utterly foolish, that even how they circumcisioned, was retarted. It would be much less senseless, to remove skin at the base of the penis, permanently retracting the foreskin, then carefully reconnecting the veins arteries nerves etc., but knowing that much is better to just leave it all there.

#10, on the bottom of page 1 here, has a circumcision joke about short sighted got the sack, but that is not a joke: http://www.circumstitions.com /Restric/Botched4ga.html

Doctors aren't helping there but to pass down an initiation and a revenge of sorts, so they are homophobic and lazy about really considering it, much like when they call STD's merely cists or zits, instead of treating it like a cancer and taking it out.
Lord's higher science requires a light shined from the heart, to help us see over the devil's dimmer deceptions. If the devil tried to say that circ. prevents masturbation or STD's, then consider the Lord's true truth may be opposite. How does circumcision beget masturbation? A pattern of oppression where the young man hasn't the right to keep his anatomy complete and to himself, then by the time he is horny he is still no where near having the right to marry in a manner which is due or timely, if not married he will masturbate. This covers the other issue as well, if not allowed to marry among other relative evolutionary advancement in time, they will fornicate in filthy irresponsible patterns, which will contract them STD's.
Then devil conspires: But young brides are too small to have their vaginas ripped open by a baby just yet, and young men do not want to marry yet (they want to be players and pimps).
Then Lord may assign a wise human for them to reply: That is why I have created to evolve you with the wisdom given your current human population at present, to consider the most unmutating and safe forms of birth control possible. Also, they are of a lower paradigm that needs to be ascended and shifted, it is easy for them to cop an excuse that they do not want to do what they don't even know they should have the right to do.
