THIS. There is literally ZERO anthropological evidence for circumcision EVER starting for "hygiene". Which would have been insane in a stone age world without antibiotics. If anything, it started in prehistory as a proxy for castration rituals or human sacrifice.
Conversations like this are fun and educational, I’m enjoying this. So I have a few questions: 1. Do you disagree with circumcision in general or only as a religious practice? 2. Where’s the evidence for your theory about removing pleasure? My theory is backed up by 2 med papers.
1. Circumcision of infants is wrong regardless of motivation 2. It removes the most sensitive part, determined by esthesiometer: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17378847 Surveys report lost sensitivity https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23374102 And dysfunction https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21672947 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17155977
Sorry, I think I may have mis-worded the second question. I mean the historical reasons for individual cultures circumcising, not actual responses to circumcision. But the first question’s response- what if you suffer from phimosis? Do I just let it fall off once you’re 14?
Betamethasone cream, tissue expansion, or preputioplasty. Preputioplasty is a geometrical question, and a big enough axial slit is guaranteed to cure the phimosis. The principle of proportionality of treatment makes circumcision unacceptable in such a case.
Rhetorical question, but isn’t preputioplasty genital mutilation too?
If it were done for no reason, it would be. For curing phimosis, it is the most minimally-invasive surgical solution available. It doesn't removie pieces. That's how surgery is supposed to be: doing as little damage as possible, once non-surgical options are exhausted.
