As regards to circumcision, I think that one of its objects is to limit sexual intercourse, and to weaken the organ of generation as far as possible, and thus cause man to be moderate.

Also how Jewish circumcision went from removing the very tip of the foreskin (Milah) to the full circumcision we see today (Periah).

I just thought I would submit this because I always hear how male circumcision is not used to control male sexuality when it's history shows us that is exactly what male circumcision is used for. I also thought it would be interesting to have a discussion revolving around religious circumcision since religion is often times accepted as reason enough to circumcise a child even when medical benefits are not.
