IS circumcision of a new born a form of child abuse?

Mgv, funny but you also get to hear the opposite from adults who ahve been done. They often report that because Mr Happys head is now in complete contact with any surface it touches that sensitivity is increased. Look if I suddenly woke up tomorrow morning and discovered a new bit of vel covering my oldest best friends head, I too would more likely than not report different sensations. :p

I'll say this slowly, ok...

If the foreskin cannot retract - a circumcision is not only a necessity for health reasons, but it will also improve sensation.

If the foreskin already fully retracts, and is removed for cosmetic, cancer, injury or other reasons, THEN it is unanimous that the circumcised penis feels less sensatuion than previously.

If you want to be circumcised - it is YOUR choice. Do not make the erroneous decision on behalf of your kids - they can make the fully informed decision them selves as adults.
