Belle C. Eskridge, M.D.[a 1], a clinician at a children's home in Houston, TX, thought that an early circumcision improves girls just as much as boys.[1] So she circumcised all children in her care and found that girls responded to its effects more than boys.[2]
Female circumcision promotion
Eskridge concluded that female circumcision will "relieve one of the greatest causes of masturbation" in girls (see her publication).
