Men are circumcised as babies, usually, and it is done either for religious reasons, or health reasons, or both, and this is done in many parts of the world.

Just want to add that while it is true that only men are circumcised, I don't think it is all that 'different'. There has not been any scientific evidence to support the health reason angle for some time now.

Had I known then what I know now, I would not have done it to my son.
