"Let the parents decide."
Since we all know the parents have actually done their research regarding infant circumcision a.k.a. routine genital mutilation (they did not, as the vast majority don't) and since it's their genitals. Oh wait.
"I have no problem/I'm ok/etc."
Oh, I'm afraid you have a problem. You just aren't aware of it, just like I haven't for the first 20 years of my life.
I bet for the longest time you thought your genitals were in their original form...haven't you? I thought the same, and they're not. It's already documented just how much erogenous (pleasure-giving) nerves are in what's sacrificed due to circumcision, in the name of religion and/or ignorance. Nearly 20,000 nerves of it, and what you're left with for sexual pleasure is far, far less than what's cut off. Sex feel good? You bet. Knew the whole time that your pleasure wasn't even close to 50% of what NATURE intended for you to have? You should now. That's the whole nonsensical man-made (not God-made) religious motto: sex should be for copulation; not pleasure, and since it's a several million dollar industry it's being pushed as much as possible. Since knowledge of what exactly it is that's being lost (as opposed to "lol just a useless tube of skin that's disgusting") is SPREADING, however, the circumcision rate falls drastically. Check out the rate now in the U.S., far less than even a few years back. Thank goodness. The only people doing it now are the ones stupid enough to think that God commands this barbarity or tricked into believing the health benefits from the medical industry, so they keep their several-million-dollar industry going, which is beginning to fade.
Please do your research as far as circumcision's concerned, though I recommend otherwise if sexual pleasure (like to me) is one of the few best things in life, unless you're ok with spending the next couple of years restoring (avoid surgical, since it's very risky and expensive. Everyone opts for non-surgical techniques, and almost everyone's happy with the results; personally I'm going to try out the CAT II Q), which won't exactly increase your life quality to that of an "intact" you, but from testimonials, you get back around half of what's lost as far as pleasure.
These are accounts of circumcised men who've restored, so there's no anti-circumcision bs here. One can choose to accept and believe what they want, but the internet is out there; search engines are out there. Not that common sense doesn't already say that less penis tissue = less nerves and flesh to be pleased with, especially that which is laden with nerves and vessels.

I've been reading that all the time the past couple weeks. It's that thing called ignorance, though go find out how many people on the net are speaking out against beliefs like that (of clueless American women and their circ'd penis fetish, and funny that they don't realize how much better a natural penis would feel in their vaginas). I bet she also didn't know that only about 1/5 of males worldwide are circumcised. I'm guessing you're in the States and this was a university in the States. It's the kind of penis they're used to, though while the idea of a woman preferring a circ'd penis is turning on to the circ'd man, him finding out that the majority of his pleasure-giving tissue is gone heavily outweighs that, especially if he's into masturbation. You'll see the opposite kind of reaction in a European university, or hell just about anywhere that isn't Muslim or Jewish. America's special though, since it's Israel's greatest ally and shelters the second largest Jewish population in the world. Through weaseling and deception (which Jews are well-known for) they managed to make it a norm in the U.S., though recently their barbaric stone-age belief has started to dwindle due to more light being shed on the issue.
Yay for genital mutilation. :/

That was its aim. Strange, a practice established to help prevent boys from masturbating (read on U.S.'s history) and be more chaste yet I can't count how many times I wanked (I'd estimate to a total of 2,100 times, and I'm 23) and watched porn, with my 100% circumcised-since-infancy penis (i.e. no remnant of foreskin or frenulum, which are needed for full penile function and pleasure). It's in Judaism for the same reason. Orthodox Jews and rabbi's will tell you that. It's viewed in the religious world as "sinful pleasure and enjoyment" and "unclean", and if you don't remove it then you have to place in the holy afterlife. Ha.
No.
If there was a god, that god would care for us (and wouldn't make errors in his design for us to correct), and would want men and women to experience great mutual sexual pleasure, even to the extreme. Oh wait...the foreskin does just that? Argument over. The Quran's version of God is this kind of god, not the arbitrary one in the (initially pure and now corrupted) Torah. "Islam's" god is even worse. I'd know since I studied this religion longer than I was a member here. Islam's so far off the Quran thanks to man-made Islamic sources which even contain much of the same falsehoods that corrupted Judaism, it's not funny.
All the "medical benefits" are hogwash, since most of them deal with contracting STD's (funny, America, which has a higher circumcision rate than the entirety of Europe has far higher rates of STD's than them, and Europe's circumcision rate is an abysmal 2%) and the issue of cleanliness. NO TISSUE on the body is "dirty" and we clean everywhere with soap and water. The foreskin's smegma even has anti-bacterial agents, something the money-greedy American medical industry won't tell you (they also know that people with sexual dysfunction are more likely to be circumcised than not, so the poor guys end up paying for medications to treat this, and the greedy get more money), though fortunately since almost every developed country besides America doesn't practice the procedure and hence has no incentive to lie, they publish the truth of this and continue to shake their heads at America's stupidity (good though that the rate, which was around 90% back in America's 60's, is now a very low 30% and decreasing...the 30% being parents who haven't done research and just follow trends). To say it should be cut off simply because it's a great source of pleasure is according to common sense evil. Why don't you teach him better control of himself instead of inflicting such barbarity, not that masturbation doesn't have pretty much just benefits unless you're a moron; I'm talking illegit sex. To argue that a boy won't know how to clean his penis, so we should painfully amputate 2/3 of its tissue is backwards as hell. What's to say he'll know how to clean his nostrils and ears?
I was born in a sheep-minded Muslim family, and in late 80's America...two things that you knew put me at a high-ass risk of this mutilation I'll never get over (since it's permanent for the rest of my life) after finding out the facts demystifying the so-called benefits of circumcision, and the shocking loss of sexual quality that is depressing. Circumcision is traumatic and unforgivable if done on babies who can't consent, and don't need it for any medical issues (which over 95% of newborns don't, like how I didn't).
If you think your problem is due to being mutilated like me, I'd advise restoring non-surgically (I would not advise surgical). The average account of a man who's been circumcised after experiencing sex with a foreskin, said for him sex/masturbation was a 3 when circumcised, and a 7 after restoring, while for him intact it was 10. I placed an order for my device online today and it's the "CAT II Q". Seems promising, and I like the product's materials. You could read the testimonials on that site and everyone was pleased during and after using it. I'm extremely depressed knowing I was deprived of well over half of the sexual pleasure I was intended to have by nature. This isn't bs. Anyone can spend days to look this up for themselves and after 100% unbiased research, will come to know plain irrefutable facts regarding circumcision.
This wouldn't even be an issue if foreskin regeneration was around, but unfortunately it won't be around for a long time. They haven't even yet accumulated enough money to do some testing.

Around 80% of the world's men are intact and America's circ. rate is fading (meaning American women preferring circ'd men will be of past generations; they'll be like their European female counterparts and among the 80% of women worldwide, and there's documented proof uncircumcised sex is less damaging and makes a woman reach orgasm faster and more often), so I doubt I'm odd for opposing circumcision. Even issues like phimosis don't necessitate it since creams and stretching are the best and recommended ways for that (phimosis). We don't severe any flesh, period (especially when their beneficial and purposeful functions are proven). It's barbaric. Circumcision's history shows it originated from barbaric and anti-sexual beliefs, though if you decide to opt for it later personally, that's your decision which you don't force on your baby, unless you'd like to risk him turning out like the tens of thousands out there like myself, discovering what they're missing out on and restoring as a result, and since awareness of these losses is increasing, your chance your son is figuring out later increases. The rate of this currently decreases among Jews even. Muslims I have no clue. From observation they're arguably the most hopeless people in the world. I'd imagine Jews are more rational/humane in general which would agree with circ. rates among the two, and I'm an Arab born into a Muslim family.

I think this is the reason why a guy whos not circumcised also wants it done... almost the naturally thing to do in an odd way.
But then again one guy said think about this....
a circumcised guy will have his penis head rubbing 24/7 on his boxers all day and night long, think hes gonna be able to feel it after a few years ?
Mines still nice and sensitive and im not circumcised so ill stay put, but ive always been in 2 minds as to get it done or not...
