    I know a lot of folks are against circumcision, but my old boss was 78 and had to be circumcized cuz the sheath lost its elasticity and he couldn’t pee and yea that’s an old person issue but man. I’m just glad they did it when I was too young to remember. He was not a happy camper

      Sure, but the same can be said about pretty much anything. If I were to get bone cancer in my left arm, I’d rather have had it amputated when I was a baby than today. Recovery always sucks.

      As far as I know, people are against forced circumcision. It boils down to mutilating someone, usually a kid, preemptively for… reasons. I don’t think anyone care about medically mandated procedure.
