Hey there, well I'm born and raised in a Muslim family and culture, and it is common for us to circumcise male children while young, for some reasons I have not been circumcised yet, and my parents insist me to get it done, and I'm opposing. And I have read many articles on the net, claiming more disadvantages than the former. So can you please mention any real advantages or disadvantages of this practice and shed some light. And should I really need to get it done? And your answer is very valuable. Thanks in advance.

There is no advantage as such and god has given us to protect the sensitivity of the glans but tradition is tradition and its upto you to take a decision
