Also, it amazes me the degree of repression of frank discussion of sexual health topics in our culture, when sex itself is sold everywhere. I really would think that the trauma caused by circumcision should be more common knowledge by now, and its practice not the default procedure.
I guess I'm guilty of perpetuation myself, though. Three of my friends have had baby boys and not to one of them did I say anything about it. Next time I have the opportunity (not to proselytize, just to prompt inquiry), I'll hope to say something like: "There are serious problems and health consequences that can arise from circumcision. You might look into it before you make a decision."
