Victorian usage
==Victorian usage==
Victorian doctors falsely believed that thinking immoral or impure thoughts could cause neurological disorders such as feeblemindedness or epilepsy. They also believed that [[masturbation]] would cause one to think immoral or impure thoughts that would cause brain damage. ! Therefore, the [[foreskin]] and masturbation were viewed as unhygenic. So when a Victorian doctor spoke of [[circumcision]] being hygienic, he meant mental health, ''not '' physical cleanliness.
