    If it helps, most men who get circumcised at birth don’t feel regrets about it as they grow up since, for them, it’s normal. There’s no loss of functionality, and it’s easier to keep clean. Wouldn’t beat yourself up about it anymore than people who get their daughters’ ears pierced at a young age.

      There actually is loss of functionality though. Circumcision removes muscle tissue and mucus membranes that can never be restored again.

      I’m not going to post pics but if you’ve ever seen the glands of both side by side, a cut man’s head is a dry crusty desert by comparison.
