I believe your previous , the removal of the clitoris, was a definition of female castration, not circumcision.

You are talking about 2 different subjects.
Castration is the removal of gonads: male=testicles. female=ovary.
The purpose is to remove sexual drive and ability to reporduce.
We do not treat child molestors with the removal of their penis tips (the glans), but with chemical or physical castration.
Female circimcision is not the simple removal of a clitoral hood, but a portion or all of the clitoris itself. So these ladies can still get horny and aroused (because they have ovaries), but many, without a functional clitoris cannot have an orgasm, to relieve this physical desire. A delightful case of permanent "blueballs".
Google it and you will see that " female circumcision" is in no way comparable to the male counterpart. As Sara says, it is mutilation.
The foreskin was designed for the cavemen, and when we became civilized we did not evolve to not need it anymore :)
It's now not needed because we dont' run around in the forest with our penis hanging out.

Personally, I prefer an uncircumcised male. I won't go into details :ph34r: but there is more to play with!!!! lol.
I particularly feel that such surgery should only be done if there is a medical reason for it.
@Hobbes The desensitisation is brought about through the rubbing of the glans on fabric etc, not necessarily through thickening of the skin. Female circumcision often also includes the removal of outer and inner labia which can be likened to the 'extra' skin of the foreskin.
Choice is the key here methinks...perhaps it should be done once a 'man' (key word) makes the choice and has had the opportunity to give informed consent. A baby is incapable of such choices and therefore should not have it removed because others think it is a good idea. The lack of choice is the area of equivalence in circumcision for both sexes.
It is a cultural/religious practice not a health one.
@7th Likewise we no longer need our appendix (I recommend automatic removal at birth to prevent possible problems later!!!) perhaps we could just chop off all the little bits we don't think we need now we wear clothes!! Hmmm do we need our earlobes, nahhhhh...lets chop em off!!! How about the removal of women's breasts immediately after puberty is done....I mean now that most women don't breastfeed, maybe it would be a good cancer preventative... :helpsmile:
Give me a call :PQuote:
