even Jesus Christ when he was eight days old was circumcision. a moyle cuts the skin off the penis. the moyle gives the baby a little wine and the baby boy goes to sleep afterwards. it is very healthy for the boy to have it done. the Jewish boys have it done, and boys who are not Jewish have it done in the hospital. it is best to have it done while they are babies

The cutting away of the foreskin from a male's penis. It can be done in a religious ceremony or it can be done by a doctor. Usually it is done when the baby is very little, it is thought that the pain is less. I do not believe in circumcision, I have no doubt that babies feel pain just as sharply as adults.

There is extra skin on the penis when a boy is born. Cuting the skin down to a flat suface is circumcision. It doesnt hurt them at such a young age. But if its not done then it is hard to take care of and clean that area, which means that infections could start.

Circumcision is the removal of the foreskin on the penis. It's done by a Moyle or doctor, with a knife.

It where you cut away the part of skin from a mans penis. This allows the head of it to be uncovered. This was first practiced by jews centuries ago as (so they claim) requested by their god.
People who do not have this surgery does'n hav ethis surgery grow up to have better sensation in the head of the penis, and remain sexually active longer.
There is not goo dmedical reason for circumcision unless an emergency in which accasionally a man's penis will enlarge or grow large causing him pain.(i've never had the growing too large problem:):):))))))))))))

Circumcision is removing the foreskin from the penis.
The doctor puts this little bell-shaped device on the penis.
it is anesthetized, the doctor makes a little zip and that's it.

It is the removal of the foreskin of the penis. It is usually performed for two main reasons: religious (jews, specially) and for medical reasons (not very commonly, nowadays). It is an uncomfortable and painful procedure for the poor fellow that gets it done. It used to be performed routinely on the babies, because it was thought that by having it done, it was easier to keep themselves clean. Fortunately, it's not done routinely anymore.

they cut the foreskin off of a baby boy's wee wee aka penis lol
it is much harder as a guy goes through life, to keep it clean if they are not circumsized, and can cause infections.
its not that babies dont feel the same amout of pain, they just wont remember the pain like an adult would.
