As webmaster of a fairly in depth site about sexuality, I felt inclined to respond.
First of all, I'm cut. I believe circumcision is genital mutiliation, and most of the time it is performed on babies or children who are not mentally prepared to make such a decision for themselves. I am not convinced of any medical studies or evidence claiming that circumcision can be beneficial in any way. Claiming the opposite is like claiming that smoking is a good way to lose weight. Sure it might help you lose weight, but the dangerous effects of smoking far outweigh any possible benefits of the lost weight.
I am not saying it should be illegal. I just think children should not be mutilated and allowed to reach adulthood so that they can make that decision for themselves. How many of them do you think would have it done at 18? ;)
