Every year, millions of baby boys are circumcised, either for purported health benefits, or for religious reasons. This book provides a comprehensive and clear explanation of the risks and rewards of that practice, which has significant effects on sexuality, psychology, and overall health.
Drawing on 869 research references and firsthand accounts, Dr. Lipman sheds light on the disparity between traditional views and contemporary medical perspectives.
Whether you're a parent contemplating the procedure for your child or an academic in search of an in-depth analysis, Circumcision provides a balanced and factual perspective on this widely performed yet increasingly debated surgery.
In this groundbreaking, meticulously rendered book, you will learn:
• Why routine male circumcision does not improve a baby's health, or reduce the incidence of AIDs or urinary tract infections, as is often claimed
• The secret financial incentives behind the six billion-dollar circumcision industry
• That the pain of circumcision is equivalent to torture, and why anesthesia is rarely used
• Circumcision's significant physical and mental health risks, including death
• Why both men and women enjoy sex more if the man is uncircumcised
• That adherents to Judaism or Islam may not be required to ritually circumcise their child, as is often thought
• Why not one medical association in the world recommends circumcision
