| Circumcision -
21st March 2007
if you're a male and not circumcised than you are definitely Christian;
as i'm sure you all already know, Judaism and Islam perform compulsory circumcision on all male new-borns. So in these both cases, you are not free to choose something that is above all sexual. As for Christians, some do it and some don't; they say that the main reason why they do is purely hygenical; but is this all there is to it?
many published scientific researches show that, just like female circumcision cuts down the pleasure (orgasm), male circumcision could lead to less sexual pleasure during intercourse.
As for the historical approach of the subject, where did this whole idea of circumcision come from? and why? Nawal El Saadawi - doctor, writer and militant advocate of Arab women's rights - refused this practice in many of her works, saying that religion followed history in turning sex into just a way to procreate.
And finally, what are your preferences? and what are your partner's ones? does it really constitute a problem for certain people? |
