These calls for circumcision are terribly misleading

But if you get circumcised, know that they are amputating your foreskin. The sensitivity you feel, not only in that skin, but the surrounding tissues, will be drastically diminished.

Even the British Medical Association has reported that “there is significant disagreement about whether circumcision is overall a beneficial, neutral or harmful procedure. At present, the medical literature on the health, including sexual health, implications of circumcision is contradictory, and often subject to claims of bias in research.”
