Circumcision was originally a cultural and religious form of genital mutilation. On the say so of the Mid 1800ds medical fraternity of England this procedure was recommended for health reasons, the reasoning was that more then a hundred different diseases ranging from syphilis to insanity were caused by masturbation. The whole English speaking world fell for it. the custom has persisted to some degree especially in the USA where there is strong marketing behind it. Today however all medical authority's proclaim that there is no therapeutic benefit to health in routine circumcision and that in fact the procedure is harmful if anything. Les then 20% OF THE MEN OF THE WORLD HAVE BEEN CIRCUMCISED and most of these mutilations were done in the name of religion and culture.

there is no good reason for this custom which would explain that only organisations that have a financial or religious conflict of interest in the matter promote it. In the mean time the layman that has been mutilated in this way is more likely to promote it as part of the trauma that accompany it.

Different people have different ideas about circumcision. I can honestly tell you that it's healthier than NOT being circumcised.
