Oh it's most definitely rooted in antisemitism (also Islamophobia in modern tomes, but anti-circumcision rhetoric wielded against Jews predates Islam). The ancient Greeks and Romans considered circumcised penises to be inferior, and numerous occupiers of Judea placed bans on circumcision to oppress the Jewish people. I wouldn't call the "outcry against circumcision" is sudden at all- it goes back for millennia.

While many cultures practice circumcision, in Western society, circumcision is most associated with Jews. The idea of circumcision as being uniquely barbaric is tied to blood libel which paints Jews as bloodthirsty child molesters and abusers. It is no coincidence that most anti-circumcision groups are funded by Christians- Christianity has demonized circumcision ever since it broke away from Judaism.

Circumcision doesn't really cause significant changes in penis sensation or functionality, and contrary to popular belief, Jews don't circumcise for any aesthetic or sexual reason (like these anti-circumcision "activists" like to claim)- it's purely because it's what G-d commanded us to and because it's our mark of our covenant with Him. And it's absolutely a disservice to victims of FGM to compare circumcision to it.

Adult male circumcision, the surgical removal of the foreskin from the penis, has been practiced for centuries for various reasons, including religious, cultural, and medical purposes. Beyond its traditional significance, research has increasingly highlighted the potential benefits of adult male circumcision for sexual health. In this article, we’ll explore the evidence-backed ways in which adult male circumcision can enhance sexual health and well-being.

Reduced Risk of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs):

One of the most compelling reasons cited for adult male circumcision is its role in reducing the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including HIV. Numerous studies have demonstrated that circumcised men are at lower risk of acquiring HIV, herpes simplex virus (HSV), human papillomavirus (HPV), and other STIs compared to uncircumcised men. This is believed to be due to the decreased surface area and moist environment under the foreskin, which can facilitate the transmission and replication of pathogens.

Lower Risk of Penile Cancer:

Adult male circumcision has also been associated with a reduced risk of penile cancer, a rare but serious condition that affects the tissues of the penis. The removal of the foreskin eliminates the moist and bacteria-prone environment that may contribute to the development of penile cancer. While penile cancer is relatively rare, circumcision offers a preventive measure that can lower the risk of this disease.

Improved Hygiene:

The removal of the foreskin through adult male circumcision simplifies genital hygiene and may reduce the risk of certain infections and irritations. Without the foreskin, it’s easier to clean the penis, as there are no folds or creases where bacteria and debris can accumulate. This improved hygiene can contribute to overall genital health and comfort, reducing the likelihood of unpleasant odors or infections.

Enhanced Sexual Satisfaction:

Some studies suggest that adult male circumcision may lead to increased sexual satisfaction and pleasure for both men and their partners. This is thought to be related to changes in penile sensitivity and sensation following circumcision. While individual experiences may vary, some men report heightened sexual sensitivity and improved erectile function after undergoing circumcision, which can positively impact sexual satisfaction and intimacy.

Reduction in Foreskin-Related Issues:

Uncircumcised men may experience foreskin-related issues such as phimosis (tight foreskin), paraphimosis (inability to retract the foreskin), or recurrent infections. Adult male circumcision can alleviate these problems by removing the foreskin entirely, eliminating the need for ongoing treatment or management of foreskin-related conditions. This can lead to improved genital comfort and function, enhancing overall sexual health and well-being.

Psychological Benefits:

In addition to the physical benefits, adult male circumcision may have psychological benefits for some individuals. For men who choose circumcision for personal or cultural reasons, undergoing the procedure can bring a sense of empowerment, confidence, and cultural identity. Feeling more comfortable and confident in one’s body can positively influence sexual self-esteem and relationships.

Conclusion:

Patrick was still young when he finished his training and shipped out. The army doctors recommended circumcision to stay healthy on the front.

In 1917, Patrick’s foreskin was removed in a surgical procedure at age 19.

6 years later, Patrick became a father. His doctor offered to circumcise his new son before he left the hospital. Patrick eagerly accepted his offer.

In 1923, Joseph’s foreskin was removed with a mogen clamp at 3 days old.

Joseph became a dad at 29. Circumcision was now standard procedure for all boys at this and many hospitals. Joseph was never asked about his sons circumcision.

In 1952, Peter’s foreskin was removed with a gomco clamp at 1 days old.

At age 32, Peter had his 2nd son. He asked the doctor if he could get his son circumcised like himself and his older brother.

In 1984, Chris’ foreskin was removed with a plastibell device at 2 days old.

Chris was 35 when his son was born. He took him to a nearby clinic his best mate had told him about. It wasn’t much back on medicare but Chris was happy to pay.

In 2019, Oliver’s foreskin was removed with a circumplast device at 8 days old.

The 5th generation in his family to be circumcised, Oliver’s foreskin was pinched and pulled to be loosened. Then a pair of forceps were inserted into the orifice and opened widely. The skin was stretched, then completely separated from his glans and finally fully retracted. His frenulum was then pinched, pulled forward, severed then cauterised. His foreskin was pulled forward again, and with two forceps holding it, a slit cut along the top, and then folded apart. A ribbed plastic cylinder was inserted into his penis between his glans and foreskin. The cylinder pushed back all the way up into his coronal sulcus. The foreskin was then pulled back over the plastic ring, pulled tightly and then clamped in place so that over 75% of the skin on his infant penis was covering the clamp. A ligature was tightly secured around the base of the ring and then his foreskin was trimmed off. 8 days later the ring detached with the foreskin remnant. Now, just like 17% of his peers, Oliver’s glans was completely exposed for life.
