    But I… am not sure how circumcision would prevent anyone from touching himself, so I am highly sceptical of that claim.

    The idea was, if I’m not mistaken, that without foreskin sensitivity & pleasure decreases. So that way there is less ‘risk’ of boys engaging in sexual activities, other than for reproductive purposes.

      Wow. If I was prompted to come up with the stupidest notion right now, I would hardly make up something dumber.

      The Jews at least had a normal reason to do this(hygiene), this is ridiculous. Do you still do this?
