Why circumcised?

• Before this, let’s review the known functions of the foreskins:

1. to cover and bond with the synechia so as to permit the development of the mucosal surface of the glans and inner foreskin.
2. to protect the infant's glans from faeces and ammonia in diapers.
3. to protect the glans penis from friction and abrasion thoughout life.
4. to keep the glans moisturized and soft with emollient oils.
5. to lubricate the glans.
6. to coat the glans with a waxy protective substance.
7. to provide sufficient skin to cover an erection by unfolding.
8. to provide an aid to masturbation and foreplay.
9. to serve as an aid to penetration.
10. to reduce friction and chafing during intercourse.
11. to serve as erogenous tissue because of its rich supply of erogenous receptors.
12. to contact and stimulate the G-spot of the female partner.

• In short, the foreskins protects, maintains hygiene & promotes sexual coupling
• Thus, circumcision is performed to reverse the functions especially in the realm of sexuality & masturbation
• It is now known that the male foreskin, or prepuce, is the principal location of erogenous sensation in the human male; however this is reversed in female where removal of the external labia exposes the sensitive inner labia
• Cultural & religious beliefs also play significant roles especially amongst the Jews & Muslims

The origins?

• The origins are shrouded in mystery as it is acknowledged that circumcision is prehistoric (before recorded history)
• Many theories have been advanced to explain the origin of genital mutilation. One theory postulates that circumcision began as a way of "purifying" individuals and society by reducing sexuality and sexual pleasure. Human sexuality was seen as dirty or impure in some societies; hence cutting off the pleasure-producing parts was the obvious way to "purify" someone.

The effects on the circumcised?

• The reports & news that I have read range from bad to severe disturbances to the body, psychology and psychology
• In short, it impacts everything – simply because it cuts on the ROOT
• If you are a uncircumcised male, try this – pull up your foreskin completely, so that it stays there & leaves the frenulum (extremely sensitive & smooth portion) exposed; then pull up your pants & walk or sit around
• I tried it & found that it was torture – the frenulum is too sensitive for me to engage in any movement, however slight – the consequence ranges from irritation to urinating to ejaculation
• In short, it is extremely uncomfortable
• This is not inclusive of the long-term lifelong effects on the circumcised, the family & circle of people

Advice?

• In my humble opinion, it really depends on the individual – not the parents, race, religion or culture
• Although the notion of freedom of will & in this case, choice of circumcision is a rather modern one, the impacts on the circumcised are just too great for any external party to handle
• Even if that party would be around throughout the lifetime of the circumcised, the subtle psychological effects can only be handled & understood by that individual
• There’s a saying: Put oneself in another’s shoes
• Can this be considered training of the psychology, mind or belief? Would this eliminate or even reduce sexual urge & conduct?
• That is more than meets the eye
