There is no legitimate warrant for torture. By definition.
You are defining torture so broadly here that it loses all meaning. I find not having internet access torture. I find this grey, cloudy, foggy day torturous. It is a silly objection.
Which is a fine sentiment, until you have AIDS.
Aesthetics isn't the reason Jews circumcise, but it is the way most people judge circumcision. Again, lacking any objective evidence that circumcision effects sexual experience at all, I'd say the point is moot.
