Is a lack of obvious harm a default approval for the procedure? Again, the clitoral hood would be a similar piece of skin for females, and among other things, it protects the clitoris from being constantly in contact with other objects - the body, clothes, etc. It is claimed that men with foreskins are more sensitive than those without due to the glans being protected from constant contact. Are men without foreskin incapable of sex? Of course not. But it's an example of harm that is neither obvious nor easily quantifiable.
This isn't the sort of thing that's proven, which means it's mostly based on anecdotal evidence...even if it were factual, though sensation would be a consideration, is it really that big of a difference? It could be argued that dulling sensitivity could lead to longer sex sessions which some people prefer. There are all kinds of arguments surrounding that issue. I still don't see the big deal, personally, that's all.

I don't have a penis, but wouldn't it be worse to have the operation at 18?

YES it would, thats why it's done to infants and not children or adults.

In some countries and with some religions...some boys and girls are circumcised when they "come of age", publicly, and with no anesthetic.
