Most newborns do not receive adequate anesthesia. Only 45% of doctors who do circumcisions use any anesthesia at all. Obstetricians perform 70% of circumcisions and are least likely to use anesthesia - only 25% do. The most common reasons why they don’t? They didn’t think the procedure warranted it, and it takes too long.

Stop Circumcision
There are many web sites which oppose the barbaric custom of male genital mutilation or circumcision. However, most are written from an American point of view. In the rest of the world, we think of circumcision as an obsolete religious or cultural practice. But now WHO and UNAIDS encourage it, citing scientific studies of dubious validity. So we have to explain to everyone what should be quite obvious: that normal human anatomy must not be interfered with!

~RELIGION’S HATE OF FORESKIN, HAS TO DO WITH SEXUAL REPRESSION!!!!
American origin: Routine infant circumcision started in the U.S. in the 1870s when it was promoted as a preventive cure for masturbation.
Male Circumcision Originally Created To Prevent Masturbation
MEDICAL FRAUD and the criminal assault of boys - Circumcision destroys sexual pleasure !
http://med-fraud.org/medical_fraud__and_the_criminal_20.htm
Argument: Circumcision discourages masturbation by making it less pleasurable
Supporting evidence
In a study by Korean researchers of 255 men circumcised after the age of 20 and 18 who were not circumcised, Kim and Pang reported that masturbatory pleasure decreased in 48% of the respondents and increased in 8%. Masturbatory difficulty increased in 63% but was easier in 37%. They concluded that there was a decrease in masturbatory pleasure after circumcision.
Foreskin Sexual Function/Circumcision Sexual Dysfunction
The human foreskin is highly innervated, and vascularized sensitive erogenous tissue. It plays an important role in normal human sexual response and is necessary for normal copulatory behavior. An understanding of this role is now emerging in the scientific literature. Removal of the foreskin (circumcision) interferes with normal sexual function.
This page brings together, in one place, scattered material relevant to the study of the role of the foreskin in human sexuality, and the dysfunction caused by its amputation.

The Sexual Consequences of Male Circumcision
After circumcision, the exposed head of the penis thickens like a callus and becomes less sensitive. And because erotically sensitive areas of the penis have been removed, the circumcised penis must thrust more vigorously with a much longer stroke in order to reach orgasm through stimulating the less sensitive penile shaft. In her study of women who have had sexual experiences with both natural and circumcised men, O’Hara notes that respondents overwhelmingly concurred that the mechanics of coitus were different for the two groups of men. Seventy-three percent of the women reported that circumcised men tended to thrust harder, using elongated strokes; while uncircumcised men tended to thrust more gently, to have shorter strokes, and to maintain more contact between the mons pubis and clitoris.

~The Jewish Religious Tradition of Metzitzah b’peh
There are three stages required for the performance of a ritually
correct circumcision in Jewish law: the removal of the foreskin; the
tearing of the underlying membraene so as to expose the glans
completely; and the
sucking away of the blood from the baby’s penis, with the Rabbi’s mouth!
And it is legal because it is religious!
