"The case against circumcision."
SUMMARY:
The origin of circumcision as a form of ancient sacrifice is discussed.
Recently described information about the structure and function
of the prepuce is presented.
It is suggested that the prepuce is responsible for much of the
erogenous sensation in the penis.
The indications for circumcision are considered.
Unnecessary circumcisions are still being carried out.
The methods and results of foreskin restoration in circumcised
men are referred to.
It is recommended that circumcision should be avoided whenever
possible and that there is a need for further research into the
location and function of sensory receptors in the male genitalia
and the psychological effects of circumcision.
