GENITAL PAIN -V- GENITAL PLEASURE.

GENITAL PAIN VS. GENITAL PLEASURE: WHY THE ONE AND NOT THE OTHER?
Male circumcision is not primarily a medical issue but rather has its
roots in deeply held religious beliefs and social customs that defy
rational and humane understanding.
 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Genital mutilations of both males and females have been a common
practice in many cultures and have existed from the earliest days of
recorded history.
 
These excruciating painful procedures have been inflicted upon newborns
and adolescents for a variety of reasons.
 
Religious beliefs and social-cultural customs, particularly "rites of passage ceremonies" have been historically the primary reasons for both male and female genital mutilations.
 
Only recently has one form of genital mutilation, male circumcision, come under a different rubric of justification, i.e. modern medicine.
