I accept that there are some studies showing medical benefits to circumcision (in particular in warmer climates), but presumably, those benefits are hardly diminished if circumcision is carried out at a later age?

Also, (and I might be wrong here),but as I understand it can also lead to loss of sensation during intercourse, which I wouldn't quite class as a benefit? If true, is this a decision parents should be making for their children?
