it is simply more sanitary. That is why it was originally done, the faiths adopted it as a practice (like not eating pork) for sanitary reasons. Until modern times when we understood how to cook pork it was quite deadly, same goes for the foreskin. The foreskin will capture more bacteria and removing it is prevents this. |
You advocate destroying a person's future sex life via genital mutilation due to "less bacteria?" - on children who are far too young to give consent to such a horrific act?
On the contrary: http://www.cirp.org/library/death/ - reports show that in the 1940s between 16 and 19 babies died each year due to infections relating to circumcisions within the UK, and over 100 infants in the US - but due to underreporting estimates in the US are over 220 each year; again, directly related to infection caused by circumcision. And you would have to imagine this number was substantially higher when sanitation was not taken as seriously. The history has nothing to do with "bacteria" as humanity wasn't aware of bacteria until quite recently; additionally, the medical rationale was not developed until after the practice became widespread in the English world, it's largely a form of apologetics to justify a barbaric and disgusting ritual.
Circumcision became widespread in the English world during a time when the climate of attitude toward sexual pleasure was negative, especially concerning masturbation. It's designed to repress sexual stimulation. It causes tremendous damage to the erogenous nervous tissue for several reasons: 1. keratinization of the glans/head, 2. the loss of important tissue, 3. the loss of thousands of sensory nerve endings, 4. Loss of reciprocal stimulation of foreskin and glans, and 5. Loss of the gliding mechanism. Children who have had this inflicted upon them have had the opportunity to have a full sexual experience revoked from them when they reach adulthood.
If someone used that same argument on a baby girl, removing the labia and clitoris on baby girls for the reason of "less bacteria," - as someone who I assume is from the English world - you would consider them to be a loathsome excuse of a person; anyone who actually DID this, should be charged with sexual assault.
Anyway, we can't stay serious in this forum (isn't it against the rules?),
So:
And YES, that is the guy who played President Kim in The Interview.
