I'm in the minority here but I got it done to me as a kid (no choice, barely aware etc) and I'm grateful for it. Just way cleaner overall and no discernible difference - there's the rumor that it affects sensitivity but I'm just as horny as the rest of the damn men are. Also because I was so young (or maybe the docs at the hospital were skilled), the only scar is a tiny scab on the under side that doesn't affect anything. I wouldn't endorse it for children but I can't argue it was terrible either.
It affecting sensitivity is not a rumour, it's a fact. There are nerve endings in the foreskin. Ergo, it must remove sensitivity. And this can be corroborated by many who get the procedure done as adults.
And the "way cleaner" thing makes zero sense unless you don't have access to running water. The world outside of the US + Middle East aren't walking around with dirty dicks, and if you don't have running water, all of you will be dirty regardless.
There are babies in the US that die each year from circumcision complications. It causes pain. It reduces sensitivity. Plenty of them are done "traditionally' - i.e. without any pain relief or sterilisation. It leaves scars. 5% of circumcisions are botched, sometimes causing pain and discomfort - particularly during sex - for the man's whole lifetime.
It's completely unnecessary, and barbaric.
The fact that we're in 2024 and there's still places out there cutting parts of the dick off of babies as a religious or quasi-religious (in the case of the US) ceremony is crazy.
It's "way cleaner" in the same way that spraying fabric freshener on a pair of shit stained underwear is "way cleaner'.
