==Physiological functions==
Antique research by Alfred Kinsey (1948) <ref>{{REFbook |last=Kinsey |first=Alfred C. |init= |year=1948 |title=Sexual behavior in the human male |url= |scope= |ISBN= |accessdate=2022-06-16 }}</ref> and Masters & Johnson (1966) <ref>{{REFbook |last=Masters |first=William |init= |year=1966 |title=Human sexual response |url= |scope= |ISBN=978-0-553-20429-2 |accessdate=2022-06-16 }}</ref> misled medical science into believing that the foreskin had no function. This meant the foreskin could be excised without doing harm. In actuality, the foreskin has many functions, so its [[amputation]] does great harm.
