The masturbation taboo and the rise of routine male circumcision
Robert Darby

Научно доказывают, что обрезание мальчикам
в Америке делают для предотвращения онанизма;
также рассказывают, что для борьбы с онанизмом
женщинам постоянно отрезали клитор.

Привет

Anticipating this change of mood was Wallerstein's remarkably temperate study of the survival of routine infant circumcision in the USA (Britain having abandoned the practice in the early 1950s, New Zealand in the 1960s, and Australia and Canada relinquishing it more slowly from the 1970s). Wallerstein includes a discussion of circumcision as "one of the milder solutions" to the disease of masturbation and refers to the excitable Dr Remondino as one of those who popularised the concept of a link between the foreskin and proneness to the habit. He also points out that the religious prohibition on masturbation dates back beyond Christianity to ancient Judaic theologians, many of whom held it to be a "reprehensible sin" and even a "capital crime." (48) The most astonishing of Wallerstein's revelations is that advocacy of circumcision as a disincentive to masturbation did not die with Emmett Holt. In 1941 Dr Alan Guttmacher, in a widely-read article in a popular magazine, recommended it because the simplified penis was easier to wash, but the aim was moral as well as physical hygiene: "It does not necessitate handling of the penis by the infant's mother, or the child himself in later years, and therefore does not focus the male's attention on his own genitals. Masturbation is considered less likely." As late as 1956, in Pregnancy and birth, Guttmacher reiterated his conviction that the "handling of the genitalia" made necessary by the retention of the foreskin "encourages masturbation."
