MALE CIRCUMCISION: EFFECTS ON SEXUALITY.

MALE CIRCUMCISION:
EFFECTS UPON HUMAN SEXUALITY.

 

 Circumcision, once accepted as the norm in the United States, has become controversial. 

 

Technically, circumcision is the surgical removal of the skin that normally covers and protects the head, or glans, of the penis. 

 

At birth, the penis is covered with a continuous layer of skin extending from the pubis to the tip of the penis where the foreskin (prepuce) folds inward upon itself, creating a double protective layer of skin over the glans penis.

The inner lining of the prepuce is mucous membrane and serves to keep the surface of the glans penis (also mucous membrane) soft, moist, and sensitive.

 

The prepuce is often erroneously referred to as "redundant" tissue, which allows the medical community and society-at-large to consider the foreskin an optional part of the male sex organ and, therefore, to condone its routine
removal in a variety of procedures collectively known as "circumcision."
