→Judaism
The [[Brit Milah]] in which a [[circumcised]] [[mohel]] reenacts his own traumatic circumcision upon a newborn boy on the eighth day of life is a standard feature of [[Judaism]].
Jewish philosophers [[Philo]] and [[Moses Maimonides]] both believed that reduction of body pleasure was a positive attribute of circumcision.
