Old enough to make an informed choice by yourself.

While it usually isn't particularly important either way, I find the idea of parents deciding on amputation of perfectly healthy body parts almost entirely b/c of tradition quite distasteful.

There is generally no need for males to be circumcised. There is no known medical benefit, and circumcision, like all surgeries, has risks of adverse medical events including surgical error, severe pain, infection, and prolonged bleeding. Additional risks posed by anesthesia include problems with adequate ventilation and maintaining heart rate and blood pressure during the surgery.

While the vast majority of men in the world are not circumcised, circumcision is practiced in some religious and ethnic groups including Judaism and in certain sects of Islam. Circumcision is very rarely performed in any age group except for newborn infants.

This would depend on how fit a person would be to undergo surgery. However a person should not have the prepuce removed at any age as there is in normal circumstances nothing to be gained by it.

There is no age limit on being circumcised. there is however no reason to circumcise any one.circumcision is based entirely on religion and custom and even the so called medical reasons for circumcisions in country's like the USA were begun under a false premise by people that did not understand the reasons for what they were doing. Infant circumcision is favored in many places as the infant cant complain and the trauma of the operation seems to be forgotten within short order.hes operations are done with a minimum of hygienic care and most times with no sort of anesthetic. Some places circumcise infants. Islamic societies frequently circumcise young boys. In Africa today, men of all ages are getting circumcised so they will not get AIDS.This however is turning out to be done on a false premise as the men that have been circumcised are now the most likely to fall victim to disease .

People who get circumcised for religious or traditional reasons usually get it done when they are really young babies.

Cicrumcision b/c of medical reasons(rare, but it does happen) or personal choice can be at any age.
