3. Some uncircumcised men can't pull the foreskin back and must consider corrective surgery. I know someone who recently had this done, and he was in horrific pain for 3 days straight.

Its all about risk ..
You mention 3 very valid reasons, but they dont hold weight under scrutiny
FACT "some" uncut men cant pull their foreskin back ( true )
THE REAL FACT is MANY MANY MANY more are horrificaly scarred FROM the circumcision, and end up with NO sexual function
FACT diminished penile cancer
THE REAL FACT while statistically this MAY be correct we dont really know the full scope of what is involved anymore than we did with tonsils
MYTH decreased rate of hiv..
FACT the nu,bers are actually fairly close from what i have seen , and suprising since "cut" men would naturally have more access to medical care as it used to be a routine medical operation along with birth , and probably higher income etc etc
