I don't believe that it is abuse. It's certainly not necessary, but I don't have a problem with anyone who makes the choice to have their son circumcized. It doesn't inhibit sexual function or pleasure in any way. As far as I see it, that's what sets it apart from clitoral mutilation or female genital mutilation in general.
