Healthy children shouldn’t lose healthy parts they would statistically choose to keep.

Here is the quiet fact at the center of the whole argument. In almost every country where boys grow up intact and the decision is left to them, they overwhelmingly do NOT choose circumcision as adults. The foreskin is only ever removed in large numbers when someone else decides, before the person can object.

Across most of Europe, Latin America and non-Muslim Asia, boys are left intact and grown men seek circumcision only rarely. Where the procedure is common, it is because it is done to infants and children — driven by religion, custom, or a parent’s decision — not because adults, weighing it freely, keep arriving at yes.[1]

None of this says a circumcised man should feel any particular way about his own body, and it doesn’t mean the adults who do choose it are wrong to. It’s a simpler observation than that: when you let the person whose body it is make the call, the answer is almost always “leave it as it is.” Under the current default, most of them never get asked.
