@JoshR313198 @LegalizeItLala_ @FOXNashville ALL child genital mutilation is horrific.

Yes?

[Alfred Whitehead @AlfredWhiteh16]

@toothmandarrell @DontTreadUpon @BuenoForMiami @GerhardtRestore So, you agree with the anatomy textbook I quoted, including that the foreskin is the most sensitive part??

@toothmandarrell @DontTreadUpon @BuenoForMiami @GerhardtRestore The exposed mucous membrane of the glans then transforms to a thin, drier, and less sensitive epidermis.” Anatomy and Physiology: The Unity of Form and Function, Kenneth Saladin (McGraw-Hill, 8th ed.), p. 1037 2/2

[Alfred Whitehead @AlfredWhiteh16]

@toothmandarrell @DontTreadUpon @BuenoForMiami @GerhardtRestore Foreskin is most sensitive:

“The prepuce is the most densely innervated and sensitive region of the penis, with an abundance of tactile corpuscles and nerves concentrated in ridges on its proximal inner surface. Circumcision thus removes the most sensitive part of the penis. 1/2

Interesting..

@juststopact @DestaiceWoW @Obeast09 @LilithLovett Circ in the Torah era (brit milah) was radically less destructive that what's done currently (brit peri'ah).

Repressive brit peri'ah began in the 2nd century CE, to forestall stretching the ample foreskin left behind by brit milah to cover the glans.

@juststopact @LilithLovett For their children, or do you mean for their *male* children?

@MdBreathe Maybe it's an anti-circumcision thing.

"A remedy for masturbation which is almost always successful in small boys is circumcision...The operation should be performed by a surgeon without administering an anæsthetic..." John Harvey Kellogg, Plain Facts for Old and Young (1877)

[Alfred Whitehead @AlfredWhiteh16]

@Garron217 @RyanShuck5 “Similarly with regard to circumcision, one of the reasons for it is, in my opinion, the wish to bring about a decrease in sexual intercourse and a weakening of the organ in question….” Moses Maimonides, Guide for the Perplexed , 12th cent CE

Circumcision has long been anti-sex

How about Australia?

“The Paediatrics & Child Health Div. of The Royal Australasian College of Physicians believes that newborn baby boys...do not need to be circumcised, unless there is a medical reason.” https://t.co/JLfKMRJquO

@Garron217 @RyanShuck5 Circumcision tradition is tightly bound to sex.

“Removing the foreskin diminishes the pleasure and enjoyment of intercourse. We sacrifice such pleasure and proclaim that, on our scale, Divine instruction is a greater priority than self-gratification.” https://t.co/YzBDxhyh5s

@calleymeans How many millions of Medicaid dollars are wasted on harmful and medically useless infant male circumcision?

Marcus Aurelius was genitally intact.

@AlfredWhiteh16 @CodyLynnWeihert @AmerAcadPeds @CDCgov Nobody wants a horse penis.

[Alfred Whitehead @AlfredWhiteh16]

@MarcusBertrand5 @CodyLynnWeihert @AmerAcadPeds @CDCgov I'm sure you're completely unaware that upwards of 90% of men worldwide are happily intact.

If not, the only other conclusion at this point is that you are trolling for self-stimulation. And of course that couldn't possibly be true.

[Alfred Whitehead @AlfredWhiteh16]

@MarcusBertrand5 @CodyLynnWeihert @AmerAcadPeds @CDCgov Actually, we are 100% in agreement on that. They are *not* equivalent.

They are two distinct forms of genital mutilation.

(I assume we are talking about procedures performed on minors.)
