The functions of the foreskin and the adverse effects of circumcision The foreskin has several functions and accounts for most of the sensitivity of the penis. The normal glans is an internalized structure, only exposed briefly during urination, washing, and sexual arousal. Its surface is moist and is not keratinised.

| 8 | Male genital mutilation linked to SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome)The foreskin has several unique physiological functions. The foreskin represents at least a third of the penile skin. It protects the glans from abrasion, dryness, contact with clothes, and keratinization. It also increases sexual pleasure by sliding up and down on the shaft, stimulating the glans by alternately covering and exposing it. This also decreases the superficial friction applied to the vaginal walls and creates more of a massaging effect. Not to mention that it is highly erogenous tis… | /r/MensRights | 13/12/20 11:24 PM |

Some men feel a stronger need to protect their ego, in this case their penis or their proverbial manhood, than to look critically and possibly admit something bad was done to them and even their sons. There's a reason the biggest determining factor to whether a boy will be circumcised or not is the circumcision status of his father. Because the easiest way for a man to justify what was done to him is to do it to his children. | /r/MensRights | 13/12/20 11:21 PM |

Charles Ginsburg and George McCracken carried out a study of UTI in boys at Parkland Hospital in Dallas. They reported that 95 percent of the boys in their study were not circumcised. Parkland Hospital is a public hospital for indigent patients. Although it was not noticed at the time, the hospital did not perform non-therapeutic neonatal circumcisions, so most of its young male client population necessarily would have remained intact.

| 4 | Question on circumcisionYou're correct. They used to just remove the very end of the foreskin that extended past the head. It was later on that they changed the ritual to how we see it today: removal of the total foreskin (which is the same form practiced in routine circumcision/male genital mutilation in the modern U.S.) This is also where the "blood sucking" ritual originated. Currently it is only observed by the ultra-orthodox Jewish community, but it is still a crazy practice. | /r/MensRights | 18/12/19 11:45 PM |
