I love when this topic comes up because people definitely don't have a weird fixation on foreskin and totally have balanced discussions that calmly hears both sides.
Why is this a both sides thing? Circumcision is a Jewish rite that became a larger thing because of a couple mentions in the Christian New Testament. It also has some medical application for individuals with certain conditions.
Doing it to all male babies doesn’t make rational sense unless you are a specific type of religious.
While circumcision has been a Jewish tradition historically, it has come a long way since then. There are decades of medical research and studies that prove that it is a safe procedure for newborns and bring numerous benefits later in life. Please trust the science and not the religious rhetoric.
I'm intact. I don't have to wash my dick hard, just pull the foreskin and wash. If anything I wash it more gently because it's more sensitive.
I spend as much time washing my armpits as I do under my foreskin. Roll it back, quick lather and rinse, and done.
Even if I'm camping for days at a time, away from running water, a quick wipe down with plain water and a wash cloth keeps the smell and smegma away.
This is in my other comment: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/news/articles/2012/10/greater-benefits-of-infant-circumcision
A commentary text from over a decade ago on one study that shows a slight decrease in STIs or their symptoms is not qualitative proof.
Jewish doctor promotes routine infant circumcision, this and more tonight at 11.
