    Not at all. About 3% of US males are Jewish, but around 80% of US males are circumcised. It’s just societally accepted mutilation. The origins have a lot to do with puritanical attitudes toward sex, probably historically influenced by religion.

        It’s wild, it’s a normal thing to mutilate your male childrens genitals in the U.S.

        After the skin is cut away the sensitive glans is exposed to air and constant abrasion from clothing. It keratinizes and forms a thick, hardened layer and loses sensitivity, it’s barbaric.
