Yes, I'd agree that it's mostly done for cosmetic reasons. And, I'd argue that since we pull kids teeth and go through other painful orthodontic procedures for cosmetic reasons, it's a bit hypocritical to get up in arms about it like Hitchens did. I doubt he would have ranted about the brutality of pulling kid's teeth.
If people consider an uncircumcised penis to be as socially negative as crooked teeth, then IMO it would be very difficult to justify being ok with one and not the other. And what is more, preventing crooked teeth can easily be a more painful process. I'm curious about this. Can't really search at work, but if you can point to one, I'd like to see. I think sex is pretty great. I'd hate to think it could have been even better. And I'm not even Jewish! :)There have also been studies that show that an in-tact penis provides more pleasure to both the man and the woman during sex.
