Victorian usage: Wikify
==Victorian usage==
Victorian doctors falsely believed that thinking immoral or impure thoughts could cause neurological disorders such as feeblemindedness or epilepsy. They also believed that [[masturbation ]] would cause one to think immoral or impure thoughts that would cause brain damage. Therefore, the [[foreskin ]] and masturbation were viewed as unhygenic. So when a Victorian doctor spoke of [[circumcision ]] being hygienic, he meant mental health, not physical cleanliness.
