So, the person being circumcised can tradeoff less sex pleasure for less chance of HIV. How about asking them before circumcising?

- water-data-dude 3y agoFor what it’s worth, I agree. I’m circumcised and I turned out ok - but I probably wouldn’t have chosen it, I don’t like the idea of forcing it on people, and it doesn’t seem as though there’s a lot of benefit in a country like the US. In the case of using male circumcision as a prophylaxis against HIV in Africa, the benefits seem much clearer (there’s an HIV epidemic running out of control), and the WHO guidelines are careful to say “Aimed at adolescent boys and men” in the title: https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/978-92-4-000854-0 https://www.who.int/publications/i/item/978-92-4-000854-0
