I am not an expert on these matters, but it isn’t the least bit clear to me that circumcision provides *any* advantage in any range of life projects, narrow or broad.  On the contrary, I can see at least one disadvantage.  Reasoning: if one’s intimate partner prefers a circumcised penis, then an uncircumcised man can opt for the surgery to demonstrate his willingness to endure significant pain, to sacrifice something near and dear to his heart for that partner.  That gives an eager young man a pause to ponder if he considers this sweetheart really worth all that.

 

Anyone who wishes to return that serve, it’s your turn.
