There is a whole section that is to long to post that states some studies show a correlation and some do not. There is also some concern upon review that the studies that did show a correlation may have overestimated the correlation.
I'm not saying that there isn't a correlation but it's not a great argument when there are alternative options available that will increase protection from STD's very near to 100%.
I'm not arguing against circumcision either, it's a choice, but it should be an informed one.

You know what's an even better option than taking a knife to your penis? Not having sex with people who have STDs.
