IF you run across an explanantion, let me know, I'd love to hear it. I have never heard of any quaint old Vietnamese customs of fathers putting their sons penises in their mouths but I certainly don't know everything.

Lay Off Freepers. Lest we be accused of cultural insensitivity. Courts condone it.

"Maine's highest court reversed a previous conviction of a man accused of sexual abuse. Mohammad Kargar, an Afghan immigrant, claimed he kissed his 18-month-old son's penis as part of a cultural tradition. Kissing a son's penis is a very common tradition in Afghanistan, associated with showing love for the child. I feel much better now. I'm happy. My family is happy, said Kargar."

It's ok. Even legal (if you're an Afghan - Webb's soldier must have been Afghan. )
Time to move on. Sarcasm ok?

Not Vietnamese but a little known aspect of a Briss, Jewish ceremonial circumcision, is to stop the bleeding by kissing and sucking the blood out or placing the circumcised penis into the mouth of the moyle or rabbi performing the ritual.

I live in the Philippines and it's normal practice here, I'm sorry to say...
