Mine was at 16 because my foreskin stopped growing. I honestly would have preferred to have it done at birth before I could remember the pain (like my brothers).
I never learned to roll back my foreskin when I was a wee lad and so once when I was 8 it got infected and I had to apply ointment to it and keep gradually peeling it back from its swollen and cemented position like trying to squeeze a tennis ball out of a tight gym sock. it hurt to pee for a week. Still, Im glad to have my foreskin.

Okay, but that’s not a good reason to make it standard practice.
Did I say it was?
The point is that there are exceptions and it’s not always “mutilation.”
Okay? I don’t think anyone was arguing against medically necessary stuff
an amputation, even for medical reasons, is a mutilation
Well, my anecdotal experience says otherwise. /s
