Unfortunately, circumcision is sometimes used as well as a form of sexual control over men. My fiance was circumcised at the age of 13, after his stepfather walked in on him masturbating (a normal thing for teenagers to do). The circumcision was extremely painful, and got infected and hurt for a YEAR. Extremely traumatic, and was designed to discourage my fiance from masturbating (it didn't work, but how sick that someone thought that was a good idea). So yeah, circumcision unless medically necessary, is a form of genital mutilation. At least babies don't remember it, but still.
