Why do people still circumcise their new born baby boys?

For hygiene and cosmetic reasons, nobody wants a dirty ugly penis and it’s less traumatic to get it done BEFORE they will remember it

Circumcision was formerly practiced in all English-speaking nations. It has just about died out everywhere except the United States. It is kept alive in the United States by medical doctors (especially the AAP), and by hospitals, all of which derive large profits from performing a medically-unnecessary, injurious amputation.

It's largely cultural, either religious or because it's considered "normal." But parents in Western countries are becoming more informed on how generally unnecessary circumcision is for most boys, and rates are falling as a result.

Money, familiarity, and misinformation. It's pushed heavily by some doctors who get paid to do the snip. Americans are used to it being the norm. And it's still widely thought to be healthier or cleaner.

Religion. And it used to be thought of as hygienic in much of the U.S. until maybe 20 years ago. The majority of American males are circumcised. A lot of American females tell me they don't like foreskin.. go figure.
