Body pleasure is a term that appears to have been coined by the late James W. Prescott, Ph.D., in 1975. Dr. Prescott related deprivation of physical pleasure to expression of physical violence.[1]
The term "body pleasure" is understood to be pleasure experienced from stimulation of the erogenous areas of the body. Winkelmann (1959) identified the foreskin (prepuce) to be a "specific erogenous zone",[2] so it is a major source of body pleasure. Amputation of the foreskin by circumcision disables receipt of body pleasure from the foreskin in circumcised males.[3]
Lloyd Demause (1996) also observed the aggressive, more violent-prone personality that is more common in circumcised men, but he attributed the cause to early childhood trauma, which must include painful circumcision,[4] however, the men also experienced loss of body pleasure, which may have been the true cause of their personality change. The personality of circumcised men may be affected by both early childhood trauma and loss of body pleasure.
International Relations
The Middle East is populated by both Jews and Muslims. Both Judaism and Islam require boys to be circumcised. The nearly ubiquitiousness of circumcision of boys in the Middle East may help to explain the frequent wars in that part of the world.
