Why did my parents circumcise me?
I believe you can still get circumsised as a teen. Why didn’t my parents wait until I was old enough and ask if I wanted to get circumcised?

Unfortunately, that is what is generally done in the United States. Your legal and human rights to genital autonomy, bodily integrity, and security of your person were violated by your parents.

Circumcision is easiest, cheapest and heals fastest when done for an infant. It is also proven to reduce at least 10-fold the risk of infantile UTIs which can cause severe and permanent damage to the developing kidneys and bladder. Circumcision only removes a small sheath of skin which is basically useless in today's society.
Like vaccination, circumcision is proven to have lifelong protective effects. Would you wait until your child became an adult to start vaccinations to protect him against so many diseases? No. So why wait for what is actually a less invasive procedure than vaccination to give him protection against phimosis, paraphimosis, frenulum breve, balanoposthitis, etc.

Well its common for many to have it done in infancy to avoid soreness and issues in later life.

Stop whining like a little sissy, and be grateful your parents love you enough to have you circumcised.

You probably needed it done for a medical reason. My boyfriend was cut when he was like 5 because he grew too big for his skin and they told him when he got hard when he was older the skin would literally rip and bleed. My nephew was cut as an infant because he had problems peeing because of it.
