14. Most pediatricians now use anesthetic.
I don't remember getting it done when I was a baby and I don't think I have any really evil repressed hatred against my parents for it.

In any case, almost all Docs now use anesthetic during a circumcision so the discomfort is better limited to the recovery which isn't that long.

People really do get bent out of shape on this issue though. I think that's likely because it's something being done to somebody that can't make the decision for themselves and nobody likes to make a baby feel pain.
