As for how trivial it is, that depends. Perhaps most think it's trivial, but there is the occasional complication and clearly there are people who feel that circumcision has drastically reduced their sexual function.

Norwegians generally don't circumcise, but I still feel it's a very interesting subject and something that people should think and read about before they decide whether or not to have the procedure done on their own children.
Well most Americans are circumcised and guys don't seem any less horny here than anywhere else.

I'm more mad at my parents that they took a job transfer and had to move from California (something else my parents chose without my input that affected my life) then I am that they chopped off a part of my dick (as bad as that sounds haha). It's that trivial to me.

I'd much rather have my foreskin gone than my pinky toe for what its worth

Ah, well fair enough. On a related note, is foot-binding for aesthetic/religious purposes still a fairly common practice? It's a valid example, but not culturally acceptable to us.

It is outlawed in China and Taiwan, but it was pretty much a common Chinese tradition a little more than half a century ago. I don't see any mention in any other part of the world for foot binding. Foot binding was more akin to torture as it was extremely painful and involved repeatedly breaking the feet and tightly wrapping them. This was for two reasons, men liked women with small feet, and to establish dominance over women. A woman with bound feet couldn't do much in terms of physical things, nor could she run.

same here - it's just a piece of skin

is it actually "mutilation"? is it even "surgery"? it's more like extracting a tooth

Do you support extracting children's teeth unnecessarily?

It's certainly surgery. Same as cutting into the gums to extract an impacted molar. Some tooth extraction involves only a quick pull. Circumcision always requires a sharp tool cutting into the dick.

No offense, but talking foreskins, do you know what you're missing? Obviously, the fact that it's hard to remember what it was like to have a foreskin before you ever really got sexually active is someting that contributes to making the issue seem trivial. When I write "you" here, I don't mean you specifically, but people who were circumcised at a young age. I feel like my foreskin does a lot for me sexually which is why I'd keep it over my pinky.

Well enlighten me, I don't do a lot of studying of cocks

I've seen in porn guys use the foreskin to rub up and down the shaft, guess it just glides smoother then your hand solely on the shaft?

The only useful thing for foreskins is when it comes to docking and if you don't know what docking is don't look it up. I found out from the lovely ladies at ONTD lol
