Circumcision is a semitic ritual, largely attributed to [[Judaism]] for its presence in the Western world, in which the foreskin of a male is cut off. Although female circumcision also happens, it is much rarer and discussed less often. Sometimes, [[Jews]] may also perform what's called "Metzitzah B'peh", which is a practice in which a practicioner of circumcision will suck blood from a baby's circumcision would to clean it.
'''Circumcision''' is the most common form of genital mutilation. '''Male genital mutilation''' (MGM) comprises all procedures involving partial or total removal of the external male genitalia or other injury to the male genital organs whether for cultural, religious or other non-therapeutic reasons.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20220419001004/https://www.wikigender.org/wiki/male-genital-mutilation-mgm/ Male Genital Mutilation (MGM)]</ref> Three national medical organizations ([[Iceland]], [[Sweden]] and [[Germany]]) have called for infant male circumcision to be banned, and two others ([[Denmark]] and the [[Netherlands]]) have said they’d support a ban if they didn’t think it would drive the practice underground.

==History==
The earliest recorded accounts are in [[ancient Egypt]], but the practice goes back before recorded history.  Anatomist and [[hyperdiffusionism|hyperdiffusionist]] historian [[Grafton Elliot Smith]] has found evidence it to be over 15,000 years old.<ref name=alanis_2004>{{cite journal |author=Alanis MC, Lucidi RS |title=Neonatal circumcision: a review of the world's oldest and most controversial operation |journal=Obstet Gynecol Surv |volume=59 |issue=5 |pages=379–95 |year=2004 |month=May |pmid=15097799 |doi=10.1097/00006254-200405000-00026 |url=http://www.obgynsurvey.com/pt/re/obgynsurv/abstract.00006254-200405000-00026.htm;jsessionid=FbJT6LYnQxr66KhvWNsBW0msy7shpJgL39wbFTGLnQpzJ82BGLVQ!1096339265!-949856144!8091!-1}}</ref><ref name=gollaher_2001_ch1>Gollaher (2001), ch. 1, ''The Jewish Tradition'', pp. 1-30</ref>

Around the 9th century AD, Islam is believed to have arrived in Indonesia via trade. As trade isn't only the exchange of goods, but ideas as well, it is believed that circumcision is one of the rituals adopted by the locals together with the adoption of the religion of Islam.
Circumcised men lose feeling in the tip of the penis after a period of time, due to a process called keratinization. The foreskin was meant to protect the tip from frequent contact. Without the protection of the foreskin, the tip is unprotected and over time, loses sensitivity.  With foreskin protection, the penis remains sensitive, which equates to more feeling. Women also are extremely more likely to have orgasms with an uncircumcised man because the foreskin acts as a massager for the vagina, creating more sensations for the woman while decreasing the chance of female dryness. Despite the added sensation, uncut men last just as long, if not longer than circumcised men.<ref>http://www.mademan.com/mm/5-facts-about-sex-uncircumcized.html</ref> Women are often only averse to foreskin at first because it is unusual compared to what they're used to seeing, but they prefer it afterward.<ref>http://www.thegloss.com/2013/03/26/sex-and-dating/foreskin-is-great/</ref>  Just like with males, female circumcision removes only the tip of the clitoris because the full clitoris goes entirely through her groin and woman are still able to have orgasms, just with reduced sensation like with circumcised men.<ref>http://www.rnw.nl/africa/article/female-circumcision-orgasm-still-possible</ref>

While primarily a modern-day phenomenon, the practice in [[South Korea]] can largely be attributed to the [[Korean War]], where American troops have introduced the ritual to the locals who never have even heard of it prior.

The only people that are against informed consenting men being able to decide for themselves whether or not they should be circumcised, are the people that would take that choice away from them. No one complained when female circumcision was made illegal, even though some people regard it as their religious right or duty to ''cut'' (mutilate) their daughters. It’s illegal to cut off a girl’s prepuce, or to make any incision on a girl’s genitals, even if no tissue is removed. Even a pinprick is banned.
 
In 2018 a 'citizen proposal' in Denmark calling for a ban on male circumcision - as practiced in Judaism and Islam - collected more than 50,000 signatures and was debated in the Danish Parliament. Those proposing the ban on male circumcision argue that the practice involves the mutilation of healthy children, that it is not compatible with the Hippocratic Oath and that it should be criminalised in the same way that female genital mutilation already has been. “Routine” circumcision is banned in public hospitals in [[Australia]].

Revision as of 09:26, 22 December 2023

Circumcision is a semitic ritual, largely attributed to Judaism for its presence in the Western world, in which the foreskin of a male is cut off. Although female circumcision also happens, it is much rarer and discussed less often. Sometimes, Jews may also perform what's called "Metzitzah B'peh", which is a practice in which a practicioner of circumcision will suck blood from a baby's circumcision would to clean it.

History

The ritual is believed to be over 15,000 years old, but there is no consensus as to how exactly it came to be practiced. The ritual was especially popular among Semitic people, including Jews, Arabs, Egyptians, and even Ethiopians. The reasons for this phenomenon are not known, but are theorized about, with the leading theory being that maintaining good hygiene in an arid environment would've been more challenging.

Prevalence

While the Muslim world is the epicenter of the circumcision ritual, a large amount of mutilated people outside of it can also be found. The main regions of interest are:

United States, Canada, and Australia

The primary reason for this prevalence in North America and Australia is the immigration of Jews to the colonies during the 19th century, bringing the practice with them onto Goyim as a mark of humiliation.

Ex-Yugoslav states

During the medieval period, the region has been widely settled and influenced by the Muslim Ottoman Empire, where they have brought the ritual to the local Slavic populations. Other countries under the Ottoman rule were more resistant to this foreign practice, and maintained a relatively low prevalence there.

Indonesia

Around the 9th century AD, Islam is believed to have arrived in Indonesia via trade. As trade isn't only the exchange of goods, but ideas as well, it is believed that circumcision is one of the rituals adopted by the locals together with the adoption of the religion of Islam.

South Korea

While primarily a modern-day phenomenon, the practice in South Korea can largely be attributed to the Korean War, where American troops have introduced the ritual to the locals who never have even heard of it prior. After the war, circumcision rates have sky-rocketed to the point where South Korea is believed to the be country with the single-highest amount of male circumcision in the entire world.

Popular reception

The topic of circumcision is a widely-debated one. The average White person is neutral on the topic, while those already mutilated (primarily Golems) believe it to be a good thing. Both Fascists and even Communists view the practice in an extremely negative light, naming it an ancient Satanic ritual that mutilates the body with no reason to exist in the modern day.
