No it can't. FGM isn't practiced for sanitation. It's practiced to ensure women do not have sexual gratification, and its performed during a ritual on girls around the age of 9-12.

circumcision became popular in the US because it lowers male sexual pleasure and John Harvey Kellogg wanted to stop men from masturbating. all claims of ""sanitation"" came later, to justify mutilating children so they wouldn't play with themselves. maybe do some actual research

America adopted circumcision in the 19th century because Victorian doctors found circumcision prevents disease. Epidemiologists like Dr. Jennifer Robinson, continue to find evidence that it prevents disease & infections such as penile cancer. You're welcome!

Are you basing overall health on rates of circumcision? That's a huge stretch. RE: healthy penises, Brazil has a very low circumcision rate, 7.8%, and they also have the highest penile cancer rate in the world. Europe also has double the rate of the US.

Interesting. Pain and discomfort do not outweigh life long sanitation. So, thanks for sharing.

How can you decide what "outweighs" anything for another person's body? I had no choice when i was held down and had parts of my penis cut off without my consent. I was healthy. I should have control over my healthy body parts.

Your parents decided sanitation outweighed a slab of skin. They likely got you vaccinated too. Dear God, get over it!
