well the procedure is more painful and harder to heal from the older people get which is why people opt to have it done to newborns. A lot of hospitals will not allow circumcision anymore, it must be done as an outpatient procedure at a pediatric clinic. I personally think many women choose to circumsize their infants because "their daddy is cut" and they don't want their "son to look/feel different", each generation plays off the generation before but I've found being a woman on many parenting boards that the procedure is questioned by many new moms... especially those who have the new "green" mentality.... questioning some/all or timing of vaccinations, questioning circumsizing, choosing to make own baby food, back to basic breastfeeding, organic baby clothes....etc. Anything unnecessarily "poluting" their pure bodies is out. Forskin is meant to be there, it's meant to protect the head of the penis. It HAS a purpose. I wouldn't want someone telling me to cut off my labia because it's not socially accepted.
