      The whole “hygiene” and circumcision is a myth and a lie.

      It’s not like there microbiology science existed thousands of years ago. It may have been a hygiene practice because people thought it was helpful. Bloodletting is BS as well and people thought it helped drain the body’s poisons.

        Bloodletting is therapeutic… for some very specific conditions. For example, hemochromatosis, where the body has too much iron, and there has been some preliminary study that blood donations are a way to reduce the amount of PFAS in blood.

        But everyone has PFAS in their blood; not every male has (beyond normal) phimosis.

      Your foreskin has no bearing on your ability to wash your dick

      I imagine the whole circumcision thing makes sense when you’re wandering the desert for years and there’s not a whole lot of water around, but other than that, yeah.

      Not so long ago people would go weeks without washing their bodies, let alone in prehistoric times.

      It does if it’s tight. I couldn’t wash it due to the extreme tightness. I don’t agree with doing it for religious reasons, just saying your argument there is not without holes.
