What is it

It is a minor surgical procedure which removes the foreskin from a human penis. It is best performed when the child is 8 days old, although adults have had it done. People who are circumcised have less chance of catching all kinds of little nasties...and their partners (if female) are less likely to have cervical cancer. It was a practice which was ordained by God...but has been deemed an unnecessary procedure by modern medical practitioners. If a parent wished to have it done expertly, consult your local Jewish synagogue and inquire for a MOHEL. Some view it as tyrannical and barbaric, but the hygiene/health seems to be the main purpose of it

Circumcision is an elective surgery to remove the foreskin (prepuce), a fold of skin that covers and protects the rounded tip of the penis (glans). This surgery is most commonly done on newborns about 24 hours old.

You penis have extra flesh which hides head of your penis in it. Some people say it is useful but modern science reveal that it is not healthy. So they usually cut this extra flesh, this process is know as circumcision.
