Why Circumcision is Unnecessary, with John Travis, MD

What you will learn in this video:

America's circumcision rates have dropped to 33%. The question now is why was circumcision -- the only surgery performed on non-consenting neonates - started in the first place? Why did it become a "surgical procedure in search of a disease"? Can a circumcised doctor take care of an intact boy? What neurological and emotional damage has been done to circumcised males? What are the studies that show these correlations? Circumcision affects relationships as well. Dr. Travis states that circumcised men have two sexual gears, on and off. The removal of 3/4s of the most sensitive skin on their penises means circumcised men often have to fake foreplay, which means women often have to fake orgasm—the men no longer have the equipment they were designed to enjoy it with. With more parents waking up to the medically unnecessary surgery performed on non-consenting neonates, will a public outcry against this human rights abuse lead to its banishment, as the Dutch medical association has recommended?

Dr. Travis spoke to Lisa Reagan, on behalf of Pathways to Family Wellness magazine, on a range of circumcision issues in the summer of 2011. Find your trusted conscious choice resource and community at ‪
