A friend of mine did it for medical reasons. His foreskin was too tight to pull back, which made it really hard to clean, and I think there were some other problems associated with it as well.

I've never heard about an adult getting circumcised as an adult for religious reasons, but I'm sure some people do it.

And it was his choice so I have no issue with it, forcing it upon someone is what I take issue with.
