There are people that regret being circumcised and there's very little they can do about it. Don't force circumcision on your kids just because you were okay with being circumcised. People that are intact can decide to get circumcised later. Really the only arguments presented so far against circumcision come from a place of misinformation. The other arguments are about looks. Others are resorting to namecalling. People arguing against infant circumcision are at least posting proof that it is medically unnecessary and harmful.

You could say I'm shilling, but what are you fighting for? Infant circumcision is a violation of human rights. It's not right to cut off such an important part of the penis because you believe it will look better and be much more cleaner.

3. Infant Circumcision has Psychological Consequences for Men
Over the last decade there has been a movement of men who were circumcised as infants and have articulated their anger and sadness over having their genitals modified without their consent. Goldman (1999) notes that shame and denial is one major factor that limits the number of men who publicly express this belief. Studies of men who were circumcised in infancy have found that some men experienced symptoms of post traumatic stress disorder, depression, anger, and intimacy problems that were directly associated with feelings about their circumcision (Boyle, 2002; Goldman, 1999; Hammond, 1999).

The Logic behind this doesn't make sense, why would the men later in life in all grown up now suddenly care about it? This sounds more like a excuse to direct their own psychological issues towards something they wouldn't even remember.
