uncutting:
The biggest benefit I’ve gained so far would definitely have to be the increased comfort in general. Being circumcised and having what is supposed to be a semi-internal organ be exposed all the time could get rather annoying and uncomfortable at times. So the past year or so of (generally) having some of its natural protection back has been great.

Adelaide Now: Jory: Why allow this cruelty? →
Male circumcision, when considered clinically and unemotionally, is a cruel, unnecessary, unethical and painful process and a barbaric denial of basic human rights.

The Jewish Week: Alternative To Circumcision →
A Jewish mother explains why she did not circumcise her so:
For me, deciding not to circumcise wasn’t about “doing what’s in vogue” but about doing what I felt was in my son’s best interest. We’ve learned a good deal about the perception and effect of pain on the developing newborn, the biologic function of the foreskin, and the often unspoken complications that accompany circumcision and...
