What are the arguments for it, if not religious, and not for medical reasons?

Is it actually cleaner?

Honestly there isn't a lot of good scientific studies on this. There are medical reasons to get a circumcision but I'm no expert.

I wish there was more good information on it. People seem very emotional about the topic and without good info it's hard to have a meaningful discussion about it.

Reminds me of my time as an elephant mohel.

I'm genuinely interested in this because even non-judeo-christian people from my country are circumcising their kids and they're encouraging me to do so too to my son. Any conclusive research on circumcision? I see conflicting information like it reduces sexual pleasure and also that it's not really true. That it reduces STD risk for both partners as well and that it reduces UTI risk for female partners.

Let the person decide when they're an adult. Perpetually washing their wang uncircumcised, or needing to wash their wang less - circumcised, but washing it anyways cause hygeine.
