Latest revision as of 18:25, 21 November 2022

In the long history of genital mutilation aka foreskin amputation aka circumcision, there have been many false alleged reasons why this should be a medical procedure. Please note that some of the alleged medical reasons are rather pseudo-hygienical reasons which should never be solved by cutting off intact body parts.

Work in progress: The following information does not claim to be complete. More content will be added gradually.

Foreskin causes

In 1958, Christine F. McDonald said "the same reasons that apply for the circumcision of males are generally valid when considered for the female."[10]

In 1966, Masters and Johnson erroneous claim that there is no difference in sensitivity between penises with and without foreskin.

(Note: Their work helps propagate the medical dogma that circumcision has no effect on sexuality go practically unquestioned for nearly the next four decades.)[11]
