Since the stimulation of the penis is still more than anyone could need (and many can't handle anyway), the penis is still capable of issuing semen to impregnate, and expelling urine, I don't see where the real "negative" is. It loses no functionality. The only thing it changes is the type of sexual stimulation you feel, and MAYBE the intensity- but until we have a study done of uncut, adult, sexually active men, who then get cut, have sex again, and compare, anything else is personal opinion, and not based on any kind of science. Polling is worthless, and "assuming" the nerves do this and that and whatever based on theory is just that- theory.

Also... a very standard, frequently-practiced, and easily-rendered medical procedure is hardly something I would call "mutilation". I believe that the term "mutilated", in this case, is a matter of personal opinion, not fact. So if it's just opinion, mind your own business. Keep your hands off my kid's penis.

Why do so many people feel compelled to dictate how others should run their lives? This whole topic is like Roe vs. Foreskin, for cryin' out loud.
