- There have been various reasons for circumcision, some timely, some not. Cleanliness is one reason cited. It caught on in Europe way back when because it was thought to discourage masturbation. Doctors often recommend it in areas with high incidence of HIV, since circumcision reduces the risk of STIs.
- One of my friends is a nurse and she is HIGHLY in favor of it. Her reason? She's had to give eighty-year-old men sponge baths! | Circumcision is also done for religious reasons.
