From the Publisher
Circumcision is the only surgical procedure where the decision to operate is made solely by parents who know little about the structure and function of the normal penis. In simple words and photos this book explains these facts. The Joy of Being a Boy will educate families who may be blindly following tradition or believing such medical fallacies that surgery is necessary for hygiene and disease prevention. Parents will gain the courage to "Just say NO", and to assert that the infant male body has perfect and necessary design.
