No I saw your source from a psychology journal, first psychology is not the right science to measure physical pleasure, and second, there are alot of subjective arguments in that article. just because you can enjoy sex without a foreskin does not mean it should be removed.

Your argument, unless I’m mistaken, is that circumcision hampers sexual satisfaction. If circumcised men, especially those who underwent the procedure as adults, don’t think so, I think that means something.

that is but one of many arguments against infantile sexual mutilation--the lifetime mental trauma is not an accidental but a deliberate outcome of this procedure, as the jewish literature explicitly attests

thank you, glad to hear that. but the Chabad source is not critical but apologetic. if we are really interested in understanding jewish practice we need to go to a critical source like Glick.

Why? I was trying to give a possible reason why this may be such an important tenet in Judaism. Who better to explain it than frum Jews?

precisely; critical scholarship takes jewish perspectives into account from a historical perspective. so yes, it is precisely jewish explanations that Glick is relying on. you cannot have a critical perspective on a religion you profess on uncritical grounds (this is a mitvot...)

You’re right. It is a mitzvah. However the theology isn’t going to change, why does it matter where you get it from?
