Male Circumsision is removal of the foreskin. This has no adverse side effects. Female circumsisition is removal of the clitoris. This will lower a females sex drive and ability to enjoy sex. Male circumsision is quite common and has record of it being performed by the Jews before the birth of Christ by commandement of God in the old testement. Female circumsision is performed by african cultures to make young women more apealing to marrige minded men of that culture. In the US female circumsision is considered abuse.

It is a procedure that is done to the male, usually soon after they are born, that removes the forskin of the penis. The medical experts say it is healthy and sanitary to do this.
FYI: It's origins come from the Jewish faith in the time of Moses.

It's a cruel torture done to most male children in america where they cut off a little extra skin that's around the head of the penis. It's supposed to keep it more sanitary.

Useless and unnecessary cutting of the foreskin. Don't do it.
