"So does Christianity and Jews hate male sexuality since they practice circumcision. "

male circumcision as far as I know, done the proper way, doesn't cause mental scarring and doesn't cause disease or infection. It also does not prevent the man from achieving orgasm.

"Actually, I don't think that most Christian males are circumsised. "

In the US they probably are. It's done in the hospital at birth if you want it done. I've never met a christian mother who did not intend to have her male child circumcised at birth. Many times it's not even because of religion but because if the kids little package doesn't look like his dad's then when potty training time comes there will be questions and confusion as to why he is different.

"Thank you for your expertise on the male penis, MISS CarolAnn. ;) "

Well, according to my hubby, she was right. Circumcision certainly doesn't cause him to have any troubles in that area.

any thread with the word "clitoris" in it, I'm THERE.

By contrast, the clitoris has been viewed in Judaism since antiquity as evidence in itself for the existence of God.

It serves no other purpose but pure sexual pleasure, which is altogether consistent with the mitzva to, "Be fruitful and multipy."

That is a cultural act not a religious act. in Islam circumcision is only prescribed for men.

In Somalia, for instance, the groom beats the bride with a leather whip. After this romantic apex, he cuts the sealed vagina with a sharp scalpel or razor in order to have intercourse. He then has prolonged repeated intercourse with her for a week – to prevent the scarring from closing the vaginal opening again. During this time the wife must lie still and not move. Meanwhile, the husband takes the bloody sharp object, which represents the virginity of his wife, and makes rounds around the community – showing it off for approval. Scholars such as Raphael Patai and Vincent Crapanzano have documented these phenomena.

Charming. I wonder if the Lewiston, Maine town fathers knew whom and what they were inviting to their city?
