Circumcised to Punish Masturbation, then Surgically Restored

  • 14 years ago
Punishing masturbation is the main reason we Americans started forcibly cutting off the foreskin. Seriously. It was thought by prudish Victorian-era doctors that circumcising without anesthesia would traumatize the boy to the point where he would associate pain with his genitalia instead of pleasure which was seen as immoral at the time.
