[Savage Beast]

Male circumcision may not be the best idea, although it doesn't do much if any harm, and in the Western nations it is done by a physician under surgical circumstances.

Clitoridectomy is an entirely different matter. It is savage and absurd, and, if done under non-surgical circumstances, dangerous.

"Male circumcision may not be the best idea, although it doesn't do much if any harm, "

I'm not sure I agree. While it doesn't interfere with a man's ability to experience sexual pleasure later in life (as many circumsized men will attest) tissue that has lots of nerve endings is being removed, and I have to wonder if men could have a BETTER time in bed with that tissue left intact. How are we to know what kind of harm it causes, 'cause it's not as if we do a "before and after" on adult males to see how much sensation is reduced after circumcision.

I don't think cutting pieces off of kids' genitals is a good thing at all.... If they want to cut pieces off of themselves later, well, then it's up to them.
