Will circumcision affect my sex life or fertility?

Question:

I was circumcised when young. Will this affect my sex life or prevent me from having babies or anything like that?

Answer:

Now think about this for a moment. In ancient Israel, all males were required to be circumcised on the eighth day after their birth (Leviticus 12:3). If circumcision prevented sex or interfered with having babies, the entire nation of Israel would not have existed.

At the current moment, about 60% of all males in the United States are circumcised. Obviously it has had no impact on sex or having babies.
