Female circumcision promotion
In 1959, he published an article promoting wide-scale female circumcision as a cure for psychosomatic illness and marital problems. He literally claimed beside other arguments, that "if the husband is unusually awkward or difficult to educate, one should at times make the clitoris easier to find."[3] He also promoted his then newly patented "Rathmann female genital circumcision clamp".[4] It is noteworthy that his article has only been cited in another paper at PubMed.gov, by circumfetishist Brian J. Morris, et al.[5]
