Umm, there's partial or full, low or high, loose/moderate/tight (see link below). The downside of a "low" circumcision is that it removes most/all of the inner foreskin, which is really sensitive. The downside of a "tight" circumcision is that there's little/no skin mobility, making lube almost necessary and in extreme cases, causes pain upon erection. Infant circumcisions are hard to tell the outcome of (which is why it should be avoided), but you can essentially choose as an adult.

Circumcision is the removal of some or all of the foreskin (prepuce) from the penis. The frenulum may also be removed at the same time, in a procedure called frenectomy. The word "circumcision" comes from Latin circum (meaning "around") and caedere (meaning "to cut"). The practice of circumcision predates recorded human history, with depictions found in stone-age cave drawings and Egyptian tombs. The origins of the practice are lost in antiquity. Theories include that circumcision is a form of ritual sacrifice or offering, a sign of submission to a deity, a rite of passage to adulthood, a mark of defeat or slavery, or an attempt to alter esthetics or sexuality. Circumcision of males is a religious requirement of the Muslim and Jewish faiths, commonly, but not exclusively, performed on the eighth day after birth. It is also practiced by the majority of Americans, South Koreans and Filipinos.
The American Medical Association, in a report confined to discussing circumcisions that are not performed for ritualistic or religious purposes, states that medical associations in the US, Australia, and Canada do not recommend “non-therapeutic” circumcision, which it defines as non-religious, non-ritualistic, not medically necessary, elective circumcision of male newborns. In the US when non-ritualistic elective circumcision is chosen, it is largely because of social or cultural expectations, rather than medical concerns. The genital integrity movement condemns infant circumcision as a form of male genital mutilation that they consider comparable to female genital cutting. Those who support circumcision sometimes explain their views in terms of the perceived medical benefits of the procedure.
Circumcision is recommended by some physicians to treat medical conditions in males, such as phimosis, chronic inflammation of the penis, and penile cancer while other physicians believe there are less invasive treatments for these conditions that can be tried first

Uncut is the best style.
All "styles" of circumcision are unnecessary mutilation.
Circumcision is not needed for "hygiene" simple soap and water washing in the shower is all that is needed to keep it clean.
Circumcision doesn't protect from any disease including cancer.
Circumcision does remove 240 feet of nerves, and 20,000 specialized nerve endings, resulting in great loss of sensitivity. This loss becomes even more of a problem as a male ages and there is natural lessening of skin sensitivity. This I know from personal experience.
85% of the men on earth are not circumcised, including the French and the fabled "Latin lovers", and they are all well accepted by females.
The only style that is important in regards to circumcision is the model of new Lexus the doctor is going to earn a payment for.
But hey! If you are seeking an adult circumcision and want your penis reduced in volume by 12%, go for it.
No circumcision before age 18.
His body. His choice.

Many years ago they cut circumcisions too much (removed too much skin) and it resulted in men being in pain as there was not enough skin to stretch.
Now there are doctors that leave some skin but not all... I consider it a half way circumcision, and I personally feel it's not as clean as a complete circumcision. But these are probably done by doctors who don't agree with circumcision practices, so doing it half way makes the kid feel he has one (to fit in, anyway, with brothers, father, peers).
My second son has a normal circumcision, not too tight, but not half way done. He will not have difficulty as first son keeping clean.
The only thing strange is that they look completely different so in retrospect I wish I had used same doctor to cut both.

Why do you want to know all of this?
Different doctors use different styles. None are more healthy than others, they're all about the same.
The doctor that delivered my son gave him his circumcision, by tying a string around the foreskin and putting a plastic ring around it. The string works by cutting through the foreskin and cutting it off while the plastic ring held it into place. I've heard it's also the way they crop dogs' tails, although I'm not sure on that one.

I'm a woman and I really do enjoy my Husband being uncircumcised. If you're thinking about doing this for health reasons by all means do what is necessary but as a woman I hope you don't. And please don't circumsise your children. Let them make the decision on their own when they're older. It does take a little more work to keep clean but protects your penis and is more pleasurable.

I only know of two versions, partial and full. Full is the easiest to maintain good hygiene with, non-circumcised is the hardest. Partial/full circumcision refers to how much of the foreskin is removed. If you are going to have anything removed, I think you should go whoe hog (so to speak,) same amount of pain, less smegma.

MOTHERS, the feelings of mothers who observed the circumcision of their babies. Go here if you have the courage:
http://www.circumcision.org/mothers.htm
They do not remember the pain when they grow up, but I wonder what kind of neurological damage it does to inflict such severe pain to such a young one!
In the US circumcision started to stop boys from masturbating; they will take much longer to reach the orgasm, and the orgasm will not be as intense, but that will not stop them.
Nowadays the “medical” reasons to circumcision are for Doctors to make MONEY!!!
RELIGION--If God intended boys to not have "skin" He would have made them so.
http://www.nocirc.org/religion/
HYGIENE--Use a new invention, soap and water!!! Women produce much more “smegma”, all kinds of discharges, wetness, and smells; because of physiologic and anatomical reasons, and how would you feel if they cut your vulva lips??? Women, why don’t you answer my question, are you afraid? Baby girls are more likely to get urinary tract infections and no one suggests we surgically alter them at birth to reduce the risks! Just one of many double standards and laws that always treat men worse.
MEDICAL REASONS--No medical reasons. A extremely small chance of a complication do not justify the removal of the foreskin, if so, why don't we remove the tonsils and the appendix when a child is born, and the chance of complications of the tonsils and the appendix is much greater. And for infections of all the organs, including female organs, use a new invention called antibiotics. Talking about complications, in fact many baby boys die each year from circumcision and related complications.
EVEN if phimosis occurs, instead of chopping it off like barbarians!, use Conservative Treatments like:
-Topical Medication(non-traumatic and non-destructive)
-Dilation and Stretching(non-traumatic and non-destructive)
-Combination treatment(non-traumatic and non-destructive)
-Preputioplasty is the medical term for plastic surgery of the prepuce or foreskin(many methods).
If you want more detail on Conservative Treatments, go here:
http://www.cirp.org/library/treatment/phimosis/
http://www.circinfo.org/alternatives.html
And now they invented a new reason to make money, the risk of STD in uncircumcised men. Well actually uncircumcised men have more protection, but in practical terms that protection means nothing, because circumcised or not, if you have sex without protection and your partner have an STD you will be infected FOR SURE! That means, it is just one more stupid and desperate reason in order to make money with circumcisions.
SEX--Foreskin actually enhances the sexual experience for men because it constantly moves over the head of the penis causing more friction and pleasure. Men will also lose much sensitivity to the glans if circumcised.
Circunsized men will have to deal with disconfot and dry glans.
The foreskin have those functions: protective, erogenous, sensory, and sexual physiologic. After all, why would you want to lose all of those “Meissner corpuscles”, the same nerve complexes which provide fine touch to the fingertips?
It is there for many reasons, that is how a man should be(it is natural).
If women like it better circumcised because it looks better(strange, not natural) or gives them more sexual pleasure(strange, not natural), then too bad, they do not have the right! All men do not like mutilated vulvas, and all men like breasts with nipples, they do not like mutilated breasts, etc, etc, etc, because that is the way those organs are supposed to be, it is natural. Interesting, isn’t?!!!
If that was a common practice to do that to baby girls, all the women would be in a big uproar about it(and men too!, men are not like women), but it’s ok to mutilate little boys. The great majority of the ones that agree with circumcision are women for their stupid selfish reasons. Even court cases reported in which mother and father fight because the mother wants to mutilate the son, it is always the mother!. You women should be ashamed to that to your son. Men that are not circumcised, will not get circumcised when adults, they would scream, kick, fight and run, if someone tries to mutilate their privates area, just like you women would run too if someone tried to do that to your labia. Men that where circumcised do not realize what they lost because never had one, and most of them that do realize try to justify it so they do not feel bad about it. Many circumcised men feel very bad emotionally because of what was done to them to such a private area.
It is mutilation of defenceless children in the most private spot, genital mutilation.
It is cruel and barbaric.
It is a human rights violation.
It is not the parent’s decision; it is the parents decision if they want to abuse him, rape him, or to kill him?.
I do not even agree that it is ok if an adult man wants to get circumcised. I think it is wrong, because if a man wants to lose a finger, the Doctor can not do that to him. Think about it, think, think. And by the way, adult men that decide to get circumcised, do it because they know most women like it, they just do it to be more accepted by women.
I think it is just like slavery and all other barbaric acts of the past, it was accepted because it was common practice or tradition, everyone accepted slavery without questioning the facts, but it is not accepted anymore in a modern and fair and civilized society. Circumcision must not be allowed, BY LAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Many other reasons not to do it, check it out:
