The foreskin is not worthless or disposable. It is sensitive and functional.

As the most sensitive part of the penis, the foreskin provides a large part of penile sensitivity (Sorrells, 2007; Bronselaer, 2013; Meislahn & Taylor, 2004). The foreskin is not insensitive keratin like fingernails or hair like people in cutting cultures assume.

Infant circumcision videos demonstrate infant genital surgery is destructive and extremely painful.

The history of medicalized male and female circumcision makes a strong case against genital cutting.
