Very little has been found about this British Victorian doctor. In fact, some websites and literature refer him as '''C. W. Cockshut''' and others as '''R. W. Cockshut'''.
He is relevant due to a quote from the ''British Medical Journal'', 19 October 1935, where in a letter he calls for all male children to be circumcised to reduce [[masturbation]]. His letter was one of several letters starting on page 763 regarding child circumcision. In this quote he acknowledges the [[keratinization]] of the [[glans]], consequence of [[circumcision]], and further loss of sensation as ideals for a civilized culture.
