Your Birth Coach: My thoughts on Circumcision
The human body is an amazing thing and is fully equipped to function normally in our environment as long as nothing interferes with it. This includes the penis. We are not born with any extra parts. All parts of our body, including the foreskin, serve important functions. The head (glans) of the penis is mucous membrane, like the inner parts of...

This week two petitions were started at the Whitehouse page.
The right to petition our government is guaranteed by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Throughout our history, Americans have used petitions to organize around issues they care about from ending slavery, to guaranteeing women’s right to vote, to the civil rights movement.

Uncutting: I really don't like to tell circumcised... →
uncutting:
I mean, from a sexual function point of view, they are damaged. They experience less pleasure than they’re capable of, and they make masturbation/sex function differently than they’re supposed to. And of course, many people experience physical pain as a result of being circumcised.

Circumcision is too repulsive, injurious,... →
The days, months, years and decades march on, and the macabre procedure of circumcision does not end. How absurd that in an “enlightened society,” the madness goes on, and medically trained humans cut off healthy foreskins. Where are their principles?
How they can violate the Hippocratic Oath, which essentially states that “given an existing problem, it may be better not to do something,...
More Circumcision Myths You May Believe: Hygiene... →
Part 2 of the series debunking circumcision myths. It is not difficult to keep intact boys clean. First, as a baby, all that is needed to clean is to wipe like a finger. Retraction is not necessary. The foreskin should NEVER be retracted by anyone other than the boy. When the boy gets older, he will have no trouble cleaning under the foreskin. It is the one part of the body that the boy will want...

Doctors campaign against 'risky and painful'... →
In countries where infant circumcision is not widely practiced, doctors know better than to perform unnecessary, elective surgery on baby boys. Between 10,000 and 15,000 boys are circumcised in the Netherlands every year, often on religious grounds and without anesthetics. This is against human rights. The Dutch doctors federation KNMG has again called on ministers, MPs, and human rights...
