So I recently discoeverd that at least in the case of Islam there's no religious basis for circumcision whatsoever. Apparently it's a semitic custom predating Islam, and I think even Judiasm. Christianity having Judiac roots, brought it over to the West. I'm not familiar with this practice in other parts of the world so I won't comment on it. Supposedly the old testament explicitly states a "necessity" for male circumcision. Are there actually any medicinal benefits derived from the practice (since I haven't reasearched it much)? And I'm not that obsessed with my penis to make the effort, out of all the things I could spend my time researching independetly, dedicate a whole lot of time to something as arbitrary as circumcision. Neo, if you already ansere this question in this thread, as it's long as fuck (not to mention seems to revolve around Psy-T's penis), could you quote your response?
