The actual need to remove foreskin is very rare indeed. There is in fact no medical reasoning behind the concept of circumcision. The foreskin is an important part of the function of the penis and should be left alone. Most circumcisions are done for religious and cultural reasons. the marketing of circumcision in the US is still big business as is the trade in baby foreskins for various medical and cosmetic products. Male Genital Mutilation is an unnecessary part of life and the sooner it is totally abolished the better.

No it is not. The foreskin plays an important part in the maintenance performance and the pleasurable aspects of the penis. there is no good reason for its removal except under dire medical emergency circumstances. Routine infant circumcision is an immoral trade that should stand next to female genital mutilation.

The historical reasons are generally ceremonial cultural and religious The ancient Egyptian leadership classes did it to set themselves apart from their underlings The Jews introduced it as a religious requirement, and with Muslims it is a cultural custom. circumcision was introduced to thr USA in Victorian times to combat boys masturbating as the medical reasoning of the time stated that this was unhealthy, it was also believed that masturbating could make a person insane. It was easily introduced as it first of all involved baby's that simply could not complain other then scream or go into shock when it was done to them. In the USA a lucrativ business formed around the practice. Eventually the original reasoning behind the practice was starting to be seen as ridiculous so new reasons were invented to keep the practice going. The medical professionals convinced the army during WW1 that circumcision would reduce the incidence of gonorrhea and other STD,s so circumcision became part of the army conscripts culture and this is when it gained a strong foothold in the USA and led to fathers doing the same thing to their children thinking it would be kinder to get this so called necessary thing over with sooner rather then later. anthen there is also the drive to have your son look like you do. Today the vast majority of the developed world sees circumsicion as simply a scosmetic surgery but more to the point it sses it as the amputation as an important part of the penis that protects it from disease and protects its sensitivity.

How foreskin is removed during intercourse?

The foreskin is not removed during intercourse. The foreskin is a double layer of very sensitive skin that covers and thus protects the glans penis. In the area where it is against the glans penis it is covered with a fine layer of mucous membrane. The foreskin is designed to be able to be pulled back wards exposing the glans penis entirely and then come back to cover it again on its own accord with the aid of the frenulum the ridged band inside the end of it puckers it in such a way as to hold it in place over the head. When you have sex the foreskin is pushed back as a result of the friction of pushing it into the vagina and as the penis moves back and forth so does the foreskin making the movement more pleasurable and less forceful for both male and female.
