A Chinese circumcision contest among surgeons has been reported by the South China Morning Post.[1]
The reasons for these circumcisions are unclear. The American Academy of Pediatrics has long stated that "there are no medical indications for circumcision in the neonatal period."[2] Religions that require circumcision are little practiced in China.
The article alluded to a possible improvement in sexual function,[1] however there is little, if any evidence to support that view.[3]
The SCMP reports a prevalence of circumcision of 14 percent in China, which is far in excess of all medical requirements. Gordon & Collin (1993) estimated that only 1 to 2 percent of boys actually need a circumcision.[4]

Quote:When the penis enters the vagina, the foreskin is pulled back. And on its way out again, the foreskin goes back to cover the penis head. This way the foreskin stimulates both the man and the woman.
