This will be an unpopular comment I'm sure but this was also true for me (Brit) until I met my current partner, who was circumsised as a kid for medical reasons. I don't know the gory details, but it was done when he was about 5. And having gathered the relevant empirical evidence, I have to admit I prefer it. That's not to say I'd ask someone on a hypothetical first date if they'd been snipped - I'd just be quietly pleased if they had.

You're completely entitled to your preferences, of course. The question is whether some women's preferences (because many are indifferent, or prefer an intact foreskin) are a good reason to remove a child's body part without a medically necessary reason, and without the child's understanding or consent.
