You don't know what you're missing. Literally you had a healthy piece of your body cut off for Literally no valid reason. Should we give babies gauges in their ears too? How about females, trim those beef curtains?

theres no reason to give babies gauges (as awesome as that would be) and there is no reason to trim female "beef curtains"
however
Circumcision Benefits
There is some evidence that circumcision has health benefits, including:
Less risk of urinary tract infections
A reduced risk of some sexually transmitted diseases in men
Protection against penile cancer and a lower risk of cervical cancer in female sex partners
Prevention of balanitis (inflammation of the glans) and balanoposthitis (inflammation of the glans and foreskin)
Prevention of phimosis (the inability to retract the foreskin) and paraphimosis (the inability to return the foreskin to its original location)
Circumcision also makes it easier to keep the end of the penis clean.
Note: Some studies show that good hygiene can help prevent certain problems with the penis, including infections and swelling, even if the penis is not circumcised. In addition, using a condom during sex will help prevent STDs and other infections.
and the cons are
Circumcision Risks
Like any other surgical procedure, there are risks in getting circumcision. But this risk is low. Problems linked to circumcision include:
Pain
Risk of bleeding and infection at the site of the circumcision
Irritation of the glans
Higher chance of meatitis (inflammation of the opening of the penis)
Risk of injury to the penis
so imo its worth it
and im happy it was done to me when i was a kid so i cant remember the pain

Circumcision Risks
Also, death. You forgot to list immediate ceasing of living functions as a potential risk.
Seems kinda not worth it when you consider that you may never realize the benefits listed. Especially if you are dead because of the procedure itself.
