This forum is Politics and Religion. Most of this thread is neither. We have had issues in the past with circumcision threads. Feel free to discuss the POLITICAL or RELIGIOUS aspects.

If it is considered neither, I'll just bow out a bit confused here.

I read in one article circumcision came back into practice in the 1930's to reduce the sexual pleasure for a man and try and stop masturbation.

I suspect you're talking about this:

quote:

ORIGINAL: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circumcision_controversies
Dr. John Harvey Kellogg recommended circumcision of boys caught masturbating, writing: "A remedy for masturbation which is almost always successful in small boys is circumcision, especially when there is any degree of phimosis. The operation should be performed by a surgeon without administering anaesthetic, as the pain attending the operation will have a salutary effect upon the mind, especially if it be connected with the idea of punishment." (page 295)
