      You could try making your point instead of just joking. You’re just convincing me you’re a troll.

      EDIT: Ok no, I see now. Is this it?

      Although generally against unnecessary surgery to treat diseases,[50][51] in his Plain Facts for Old And Young he advocated circumcision as a remedy for “local uncleanliness” (which he thought could lead to “unchastity”),[52] phimosis,[52] and “in small boys”, masturbation.[52]

      So, he advocated for circumcision for uncleanliness and masturbation which is, of course, absurd. But it seems for phimosis it generally is the last resort once all else has failed.

        Performing a modification to someone’s body to inhibit them from doing something that’s normal and that they want to do is mutilation.
