5.0 out of 5 stars A valuable resource for parents, February 3, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Say No to Circumcision: 40 Compelling Reasons (Paperback)

This is an excellent book for anyone wishing to know more about the outdated practice of circumcising healthy flesh from the male genitals. Even Dr. Spock has changed his mind. Circumcision is not a necessary, health-enhancing procedure. Far from it. This painful and traumatic operation done during the first days of life, without anesthesia, diminishes the sexual function and sensitivity of the penis, results in thousands of surgical complications and deformities, and causes untold psychological damage, while providing dubious health benefits. This book dispels the myths that have led parents to amputate the foreskin of tens of millions of newborn boys. This book is on the recommended reading lists of these circumcision information resources.

This review is from: Say No to Circumcision: 40 Compelling Reasons (Paperback)

This book is very informative. It goes through all the myths that are still previlant in the American medical community. Explains the function of the dingy, and why the foreskin is so important for sexual pleasure.

This review is from: Say No to Circumcision: 40 Compelling Reasons (Paperback)

As a long-time member of the intactivist movement, and a restored man, I feel this book is a very medically sound publication that does a great job of debunking the myths about circumcision. This is definitely a must-read for parents to be of baby boys. By reading this book, you will learn about the functions of foreskin and why it is a vital part of the male anatomy.

I highly recommend this book for those that are expecting baby boys, in addition to men who are considering restoring their foreskins, as I have done.
