The AMA does not endorse routine circumcision for infant boys.


Nor does it oppose it - they say it is a personal decision without strong
support from medical facts.


Circumcision was designed to reduce a boy's sexual appetite by reducing
the
amount of pleasure sexual stimulation can provide him.

Actually, it first became popular as a matter of hygiene (that is amongst
people who are not doing it for religious reasons). It was believed to
reduce the incidence of VD - which is doesn't.


Some folks argue that circumcision cures a tight foreskin, but today the
usual medical treatment for a tight foreskin is stretching, not
circumcision.

No - it is circ.
