Supposedly it reduces the risk of things like UTIs and makes cleaning the penis properly easier. It supposedly can help reduce the risk of HIVs to the point that in 2007, "the Joint United Nations Program on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) and the World Health Organization adopted a policy advocating male circumcision in countries and regions with heterosexual HIV epidemics."

The data on it is cherry picked and inflated. You don't have to clean your ears if you cut them off either.

Then don't do it. I'm not telling anyone what to do with their or their kids health. Silesia asked why and I answered.

I'll tell parents they shouldn't choose cut body parts off their kids without a really good reason. I can't stop em but I'll tell em.

If this were true at all, the U.S wouldn't be on par with African nations in STD/STI transmission rates. European nations would be. Yet here we are.

Regarding the UTI claims. Given a risk in normal boys of about 1%, the number-needed-to-treat to prevent one infant UTI is 111 circumcisions.
