Why do we do circumcisions?
An infant circumcision cost on average $165 for each male infant.
There are in excess of 2,000,000 boys born each year.(according to the CIA factbook)
40% of all males born in the USA is 800,000 circumcisions a year.
$165 * 800,000 circs/year = $132,000,000 a year!!!!
I got the $165 figure from an Australian website that says the US has 52 states, so take that number for what it's worth.
ACK!Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

That's cheaper than just one round of anti-HIV drugs.Libraries are state sanctioned, so they're technically engaged in privateering. - Felch

The real danger about this "circumcised vs STDs/HIVs" thing, despite there being studies saying it does NOT reduce the risk, is even then it's a small drop in the bucket in the most ideal studies in terms of prevention. But it does become another reason for people to have unprotected sex, "hey, I'm circumcised, I don't need a condom".
And before someone says that's silly, it's absolutely not -- you wouldn't believe the convoluted logic of people who have unprotected sex. All of this hype about circumcision being a weapon against STDs isn't going to help, especially the fact that it is questionable at best."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

I am circumsied, I've never felt deprived because of it... but the truth is Asher may be right it may be more trouble than its worth. Some of the complications are downright disturbing.
It does look better but I don't think something as subjective as aesthetics should warrant surgery.Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
The world, in the last three hundred years, has not changed except in that sense.
The simple suggestion of a true change scandalizes and terrifies modern man. -Nicolás Gómez Dávila
