Performing a circumcision on an adult male takes longer, approximately 1 to 1.5 hours compared to 10 to 15 minutes to complete a circumcision on an infant. The skin of an adult man's penis is much thicker than that of an infant and requires sutures. (Schoen, 2005) The health benefits of infant circumcision include: circumcision decreases the risk of urinary tract infections, reduces the risk of heterosexually acquired HIV infections in men, decreases the risk of penile cancer, decreases the risk of STDs, including a reduced risk of penile HPV in men and cervical cancer in their female partners, chlamydia, pelvic inflammatory disease and infertility. Circumcision reduces the risk of balanoposititis and phimosis and improves sexual function. (Swell,
