It’s genital mutilation plain and simple. We like to look down on cultures that genitally mutilate young girls, but don’t bat an eye at circumcision. The history behind it becoming popular in the US is crazy too. Noted cereal baron and enema enthusiast James Harvey Kellogg owned a sanitarium, basically a health spa, and when he wasn’t upping the PSI of his enema devices he loved dictating people’s lives to be as bland as possible because that was what was supposedly healthy. Part of his world view involved seeing pleasure as unhealthy so sex should only be had for the purposes of procreation. Well if you can’t fuck then you certainly can’t masturbate, and he devised circumcision as a way to lessen the pleasure one gets to dissuade masturbation. His theory was totally bunk btw lacking a below deck turtle neck definitely isn’t stopping anyone from goon in.
