>The supposed health benefits are a post facto explanation from modern times.
It’s worse than that. It’s a quacky Puritan/Victorian health fad that originated before evidence based medicine. The original idea was that sexual pleasure was the source of all illness and disease in humanity, an idea that was so laughably stupid that it was ridiculed by most educated people even hundreds of years ago. But there’s no shortage of stupid people in the world, so the theory sort of took off despite the obvious glaring holes in the theory (like everybody dying regardless of sex life and even celibate Priests getting sick just like everyone else).
Anyways, no foreskin = less sexual pleasure = no illness (woohoo, live forever and never get sick and die). If you think even religious nuts would be smarter enough to realize this is obviously bullshit, you’re overestimating their intelligence. There’s a reason Europe breathed a sigh of relief once those nutjobs finally left for the New World.
Well, that’s pretty stupid, but surely American medicine realized that’s fucking stupid once germs were discovered to exist and proved that all disease isn’t a sex issue, right? Correct, America did catch on that the sexual disease theory was bunk… Right around the mid-1980s to 1990s (some quackier religious groups still adhere to it).
Post-1990s, circumcision is now just social inertia. All the reported health claims are reworked bullshit from a time when they believed that circumcision cured blindness and masturbation would make hair grow on the palms of your hands. It was born of a time when tons of religious health fads were being blown around by retards for retards. Another big one that arose around the same time was the idea that hot drinks (such as coffee and tea) were extremely bad for your health and would basically kill you. A certain cult leader was very fond of this idea. His name was Joseph Smith, and he later had a revelation about this idea.
