[quote name="Commander Tansin A. Darcos"]While circumcision of male babies basically started as a Jewish ritual, it has filtered into Christian religions as well, and there are some advantages to having male babies circumcised, including that the penis tends to be cleaner as there's no pocket where dead skin cells and other detritus, called "smegma" (it also has a really offensive odor and is not a pleasant substance to clean out) can accumulate. There is also, if I remember correctly, some reduced risk of penile cancer in circumcised men over uncircumcised ones. However, it isn't mandatory and it is perfectly fine for a man not to be circumcised. It's extremely common, at least in Western Civilization. I was circumcised, I don't know that it changed anything in my case. For women, on the other hand, there is no reason at all for them to be "circumcised" and the term is usually a euphemism for "female genital mutilation" where their clitorises are amputated, so that they can't orgasm during sex, which supposedly means they won't cheat on their future husbands. There is no medical or physiological evidence to support any value at all in this barbaric practice being done on women, and considerable evidence that it is an unnecessary and irreparable injury, sometimes causing even worse problems.[/quote]
