To add to my other post, of all the decisions my parents made for me: what school to go to, what neighbourhood to live in, what leisure activities I was involved in, etc...circumcision ranked very low on the impact list. Parents are entitled to make decisions for you that will affect the rest of your life. In fact, that's their legally defined role as parents.
It was nice not having to deal with the cleanliness issues on camping trips. During my younger days, it was good to have decreased odds of getting an STD. It increased my chances of having a woman provide oral pleasure.
Other than that no big impacts on my life, other than when I have to deal with an anti-circumcision advocate telling me I was mutilated or traumatized. Like I said before the foreskin has no large anatomical purpose since the invention of clothes to cover our lower halves.
