How can we get society to understand that by removing the foreskin, you also remove the sexual band of nerves?

Question

The foreskin is NOT a birth defect!
The foreskin contains the ridged band of sexual nerves.
Circumcision got started here in America as a misguided attempt to stop our young boys from masturbating. We also use to put carbolic acid on the clitoris of girls in order to stop them from masturbating.

80% of the men in the world are intact.
Before you do something to your son that can never be corrected, learn the truth. Circumcision is sexually harmful.

The current circumcision rate in the U.S. is
55% nationwide
33% in Florida
27% in California

Unfortunately in the midwest and north the circ rate is still very high. Eventually male circumcision will be outlawed just as female circumcision was made illegal in 1997.

Answer 1

Maybe the literate ones could study the scientific neuroanatomy of the foreskin. It probably requires about an 8th grade science education to understand it. "thelawyer" (above) asked for references verifing the existence of the ridged band, which, together with the frenular delta on the underside of the penis beneath the glans, is also called the male's "sexual eye" in honor of Jewish Nobel Laureate Harvard biologist, George Wald, discoverer of Vitamin A in the retina of the eye and how the eye works, whose 1975 essay, "Circumcision", strongly opposed the practice. http://StopInfantCircumcision.org/crick-wald.htm

Below are references to the science, and a source for quotes from the physicians advocating this practice, starting in the 19th century, as a prevention or a "cure" for auto-sexuality (the dirty word for which is "masturbation"), and since then more than 200 diseases, none of which have ever been proved to have been caused by the foreskin or prevented by circumcision:

Answer 2

We have known since the landmark work of anatomical pathologists, Drs Taylor and Cold, in the 1990s that while in women the fine-touch erogenous receptors are clustered in the tip of the clitoris, the tip or "glans" of the penis is almost devoid of such pleasure receptors. Instead, in the male, these are located in the foreskin at the juncture of the skin and mucosa and are always removed by circumcision. Male circumcision is clearly sexually-maiming surgery.

As for what the Bible says, for Christians it is very clear. St Paul described those who practiced circumcision not as "the circumcision", but as "the concision" - that is "the mutilators". See Philippians 3. He furthermore warned that those who permitted themselves to be circumcised would be cut off from Christ. See Galatians 5. Obviously there was a radical revision between the Old Testament and the New Testament. It pays to know your Bible.

Answer 3

There is a difference in sensation in uncircumcised penises versus circumcised. However, as I just read an article on Yahoo News that circumcision might prevent millions of deaths from AIDS every year, I think your argument against circumcision goes straight to the wastebasket. And in case you haven't noticed, the Jews were doing this a couple of thousand years before America even existed, and this is the first time I have ever heard that it was a misguided attempt to stop boys from masturbating. I had only heard that it was a health issue, as it is easier to keep a circumcised penis clean, especially on a child.

Answer 4

Unfortunately, I believe that "Society" will recognize the truth only when it is eventually articulated by the medical community. Simply stated, nurses have to stop asking/suggesting about Routine Infant circumcision. Drs. have to REFUSE to circumcise on the grounds that it is not a medical emergency or even necessity -- and SURGERY is, or should, NEVER be performed except as a last resort when ALL medical solutions have failed to correct a MEDICAL problem which the foreskin is NOT!

Answer 5

As a Christian, I am NOT bound by the Abrahamic Covenant, but by the Christian Covenant. Christ's crucifixion is the only blood sacrifice required for my salvation.

Further, Paul, in his letter to the Galatians, explicitly states that circumcision of Christians is an affront to God. I suppose this is one of those "sins of the fathers that is visited upon their children."

So here is the Biblical bottom line- Jews should sacrifice animals and their children's foreskins, make wave offerings of grain, burnt offerings on the Temple altar, flawlessly obey all of the Ten Commandments, and several other practices, if they wish to enter Heaven. Christians only need to accept Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, as their personal Lord and Savior. No blood sacrifice necessary! The penultimate sacrifice was made almost two millennia ago on a cross at Calvary- NOTHING Man can do will improve upon that sacrifice, and the very attempt to do so is an affront to God Almighty.

>> cite a reliable medical source for your claim that the foreskin is/has a "band of sexual nerves." <<

That assertion is most notably linked to the work of Dr. John Taylor. Indeed, the prepuce is home to about half of a man's sensual nerve endings, including the unique J-receptors which respond as the skin unrolls. A circumcised man will just never know what that feels like. A man who has undertaken non-surgical foreskin restoration can come pretty close to knowing.

Answer 7

I think that 'society' (by which I presume that you mean the American medical fraternity) already recognise that circumcision should only be used in specific instances where it is medically desirable.

I searched for 'reasons for circumcision' and found that all the sites I looked at advocated no circumcision. Here is one example which seems to be informative and representative of the tenor of many: http://www.malehealth.co.uk/userpage1.cfm?item_id=1352

I was circumcised at birth so I have no way of knowing whether or not I missed out significantly on anything. I can only say that I never noticed!

Answer 8

The Jews actually started this practice thousands of years ago, I assume one of the reasons was for hygiene. Other reasons, I could not say. As for the sexual band of nerves being removed, I don't think it has made sex for males who are circumcised any less pleasurable. A big difference to circumsion for females. That is barbaric, considering woman go thru all the pain of child bearing etc. they SHOULD have some pleasure.

Answer 9

Foreskin is very sensitive, i dont know that circumcised men are missing anything truely wonderful though. Iv heard of lots of reasons for doing it, one is that it can cause an infection but thats a null point now that people are MUCH cleaner than 'back in the day'. As far as all the references to the bible, thats also a null point unless you believe it. I would be PI$$ED if someone came and tried to cut me up cuz the bible said so...

Answer 10

I don't think that circumcision will ever be outlawed...

Why?

Read Genesis 17:10 to 17:14

Then you will fully understand why it will never be outlawed.

Plus the hygene reasons, "even in todays world."

Also the esthetic value.

A person with a foreskin looks like they should be picking up peanuts with that thing...

Not having sex with it...
