As more and more boys were routinely circumcised to prevent masturbation, this unethical and torturous practice unfortunately prevailed
and for the past century, millions of boys and since World War 2, neonates in the English speaking western world have been held down
or bound (and more recently in a baby restraining device called a circumstraint) whilst their innocence is tragically amputated. Health
and hygiene reasons having overtaken the masturbation deterrent for doing so and thus the naturally relevant foreskin continued to
be maligned and subject to great negative propaganda, in English speaking U.S.A, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, which up until
relatively recently all advocated male neonate circumcision, with rates as high as 90%. Thankfully Australians (around 13% of neonates)
and New Zealanders (around 5%) are now generally spared the deprivation of their foreskins and the rate of circumcision in
In an interview by ‘Intact’, an organization that seeks to end non therapeutic male infant circumcision, Dr John Taylor was quoted
as stating, "I think if you remove the vast bulk of the software from your penis, then you're going to suffer. If you lose all your
specialized sensory nerve endings, and then the mechanism, the skin, and the rest of the penis that makes these nerve endings work,
during sexual intercourse, or whatever, then you'll suffer. Obviously people who are circumcised don't miss what they've never had.
It's like someone who was born blind, I guess. Now whether that's because they compensate, or do it in some different way, I don't
know. No one knows." While most people think of the foreskin as a fairly small section of skin, Dr. Taylor's research indicates that
the proportion is relatively large for a baby. In a female, the equivalent would be about the same as removing the clitoral hood and
labia, a practice that most of the westernized world openly abhors. There are no Medical bodies or Paediatric Associations in the
civilized world which recommend neonate circumcision, although there remains ambiguity with American medical bodies to out rightly
recommend against it.
