A brisk is more than JUST a circumcision. As a religious practice, covenant, or ritual i don’t see a big problem with it. In that case it is NOT considered a “correction” of God’s creation, but rather a covenant with God.
As far as doing it on your doctor’s recommendation for supposed “cleanliness”... Well here is some information that we all should consider.
Male circumcision was not a widespread practice in mainstream American culture until the 1880’s when Dr. John Harvey Kellogg (yes, that is the Cornflakes guy!) who was fervently anti-masturbation, saying it was sinful and unhealthy, claimed it could KILL you. He believed that for young boys, a CURE to masturbation was circumcision.
Further, for young girls who masturbated he recommended that they have their clitoris burned out with acid!
HOLY SHIT WTF!!!!????

As if that wasn’t bad enough… a doctor can make an extra $34,500 per year ON TOP of his salary if he or she performs circumcisions!!!
I find that a LITTLE EXORBITANT! It just goes to show that we cannot really take the biased opinion of doctors seriously when they tell us “it is Better to circumcise.”
To give credit where credit is due, I have gotten my information from a Brilliant psychoanalyst, and author of The Guide To Getting It On, Paul Joannides.
