I reckon the direction of this and lots of other similar threads just illustrates the 'religious' arguments used to support circumcision. I say religious because there is little-to-no scientific facts supporting this procedure unnecessarily.

There is no medical reason supported by the current, international medical community (even in the USA) which supports circumcision unless there is some sort of life-threatening or unhealthy complication. And in many of those cases, non-surgical techniques are sufficient.

There is nerve tissue unique to foreskin which WILL NOT RETURN even after a 'restoration'. Be damn sure of your information before taking this irreversible step, folks. And don't be fooled: there are complications from a circumcision, especially on older males.

Definitely ask a doc, but be prepared to find one who is supportive of your decision to keep you as intact as possible.
