Snip! Snip!
(2)
I can only imagine what it feels like to live a circumcised life. And my imagination suggests that such a life is 'difficult at best.' Firstly, there is the constant 'overstimulation' to the naked (although 'keratinized') glans. Certainly the circumcate has learned by then to 'compensate' in some way, but it seems to me that it must be a constant problem. And it seems to me that the circumcate must be envious of those fortunates who do not have that particular problem, and sympathetic to those who share that problem. This 'penis envy' (Freud) affects attitudes and behavior. In the case of 'tribal-cultural situations,' common circumcision seems to enhance 'solidarity,' and Jews have long benefited in that regard, though, given that Muslims are also circumcised, the 'solidarity aspect' appears to be somewhat limited. Indeed, it seems to me that 'common circumcision' accounts for most of Jewish Solidarity! But it is a very high price to pay for such a small tribal advantage.
Nowadays American Jews recognize that, and, since WWII, American Jews have (secretly) advocated 'universal circumcision for health reasons.' The Jews want all of us to be healthy! Eheh.
Forgive me for laughing.
Universal curcumcision 'levels the playing field' such that circumcised Jews are not labeled as inferior sexual performers in a 'mixed society.' That is the 'rational.' And universal circumcision also allows Jews to feel more solidarity with the much larger population which surrounds them. Universal circumcision has huge benefits for Jewish 'peace of mind!'
