A new app seems to have rediscovered an email sent to me a long time ago by an American woman who has done remarkable research on the subject of the male's foreskin, it's importance and the barbaric cruelty of male circumcision.

As I was recently reminded that we have a fully qualified doctor of sexology in our midst I am posting this concluding extract from my correspondent's email together with the links to her pages now read by about one million people.

Extract -

"as for my knowledge about circumcision:
I became interested in this because when I was 20, I learned that the anatomy books, and the actual anatomy I had to look at, was wrong. Foreskins just didn't exist in my social reality, and they are often misrepresented in or omitted from medical textbooks in the U.S., and diagrams in Planned Parenthood offices, even to this day. The foreskin has the most dense concentration of nerve receptors of the entire male body, and is more
highly developed in humans than in any other species in the world. Its role in sexual intercourse and
orgasm are important to both partners. It is represented this way in most countries, but not in the U.S.,
thanks to our Victorian anti-pleasure history.
This causes serious confusion and malpractice, to the point where the difference between pathology and health of the normal anatomy, and what to do about it, sometimes are not learned well. For example. a doctor who doesn't know an infant's foreskin is supposed to be attached, declares it pathological, and then rips it back, causing damage and searing pain, etc. That this can happen at all, much less on a regular basis, speaks to the vast ignorance on the subject. That
most of the world has found that circumcision is harmful with no real benefit, in the way that cutting off
any body part is harmful, much less an important one, speaks of the backwardness of this culture.
` It's actually possible to have arguments with adult men about what their missing foreskin was and would
have been capable of doing it had not been removed before they had a chance to find out themselves. Can
you imagine this kind of thing happening with women in this culture?"
