A good friend of my wife's is a Muslim woman from Africa. She is a victim of ritual female circumcision, and her clitoris was removed. It has caused her many, many problems in relationships, and given her many insecurities. It's barbaric.
I was given male circumcision. I don't remember it, and it has caused zero trauma in my life. Last month, the AMA released findings that being circumcised DOES have health benefits, such as reducing the transmission of venereal diseases, including HIV, and reduced risks of other infections.
They also said that circumcised penises taste better.
