|Text=The penile foreskin is a natural and integral part of the normal male genitalia. The [[foreskin]] has a number of important protective and sexual functions. It protects the penile glans against trauma and contributes to the natural functioning of the [[penis]] during sexual activity. Ancient historic accounts and recent scientific evidence leave little doubt that during sexual activity the foreskin is a functional and highly sensitive, erogenous structure, capable of providing pleasure to its owner and his potential partners.

|Text=Part of my job as a pediatrician is to advocate for those who cannot speak for themselves. I do not believe there is any justification to impose this procedure on those who cannot be involved in the decision. It is time for the culture of routine circumcision to end.
