The reason why Americans started routine circumcision in the 1880's is to stop masturbation. This was Mr Kellogg's (of cornflakes) view, and he is the one who began this craze in the USA.

Beginning around 1870, circumcision was viewed as a way to discourage masturbation. The idea was that the less sensation a boy had in his penis, the less inclined he would be to play with himself. John Harvey Kellogg, an influential American physician (and inventor of Kellogg’s Corn Flakes) led the ensuing movement in the 1880s to have baby boys routinely circumcised. Fanatically anti-masturbation, he also recommended that girls who masturbated have their clitorises burned with acid.

He didnt lead this movement anywhere else apart from USA, whicih is why nearly every European country see's it as a pointless event and why it can only be done by the Jewish over here.
