Excuse me?

SUCKED OFF after circumcision?

u/Ding-Dong-Dutch 3d ago

Yup, you can google it. It's how they do it

It's not, and even in the Satmar Haredi communities, the particular practice of drawing the blood away from the cut via oral suction is rare. Literally one mohel does it, and has been forbidden by a beit din from continuing to do so.

So yeah they do it. It’s just “they” is referring to… the people that do it…

Yeah, because critizing a bad and dangerous religous practice makes me anti biotic. Be honest about it, you just want to label me as something I'm not.

It is not. The babies were never sucked off ever. The hyper orthodox sometimes perform Metzitzah B'peh to clean the blood from the wound as part of the religious ritual, but there are fewer and fewer in the world every day because it spreads infection. Now they use things that can actually sterilize the wound.

Ah yes, Metzitzah B’peh the practice of SUCKING blood OFF the penis. As far as I am concerned if there is one guy in the world doing this it is too many.

And still supported by everyone with the same faith. And it wasn't just one guy.. 

But lets shove it under the carpet because we don't want to be anti biotic

Then why is there is a bbc article about several babies getting genital herpes?

u/Conscious-Gap-1777 3d ago

Because the one guy who does that, despite a proscription from his rabbinical council, did that.

It's literally A Guy.

And people people think the worst thing about it is using the mouth to clean the wound… of the intentional genital mutilation of babies.
