Help End Male Infant Circumcision and Any Form of Female Circumcision Too

Created by E.B. on May 27, 2013

I would argue that there are no good arguments for the need for male infant circumcision, let alone female circumcision. The foreskin is actually a very sensitive body part, protects the head of the penis, provides moisture and lubrication, and provides sexual pleasure. The circumcision rate in the U.S. recently fell below 40% and most men in the world are not circumcised. I would also say that the argument that circumcision helps stop the spread of HIV is a potentially dangerous distraction in the fight against this illness, and that the use of condoms is a much better way.
