Who’s afraid of circumcision?

Who’s afraid of circumcision?

A lot. And they are mostly those whose parents, perhaps, did not experience the sanctity and sanitary values of circumcision. But there are those who believed that circumcision is a centuries-old practice of purifying oneself through the rites of passage by being circumcized primitively or through the modern medical procedure which is less painful.

Surprisingly, there are people who have frowned upon this practice for reasons unknown to many. Yet, Christians and Muslims alike have revered circumcision as a way to impress upon the opposite sex one’s machocism. Although, nobody is questioning as to whether circumcision is a test for a woman to accept a man’s heart during courtship. Of course not. But still, one has an edge and it is a little bit sanitary for someone to engage with the partner on a sanitary foreplay.
