I feel like this as a sensitive area (no pun intended) where the choice of language is important.
There is a risk of causing shame to men who are circumcised with statements like "Male circumcision leads to a bad sex life".
It is great that there seems to be an emerging dialogue where we question whether we should be circumcising without medical necessity, and challenge long-held assumptions with science. But it is still a highly personal issue, and a degree of sensitivity in the language would go a long way.

I don't know, am I overreacting here?
