Nipping it off at the bud so to speak. Some religions believe that all male infants should be circumcised. Some parents choose it, because of preference and cleanliness.

the foreskin is pulled back over the head of the penis and the loose skin cut away.virtually a custom of the past.doctors will still circumcise only if parents persist.
