      I’m getting a conspiracy theory vibe from you.

              Ctrl + f “circumcision”

              Regardless, some nut’s opinion hardly says much. He also made Corn Flakes to make people stop masturbating.

              EDIT: Looks like he may have been behind the circumcision of children in the US, though that is disputed. It seems the nut mostly saw it as a way to stop masturbation.

              So, still irrelevant to what I’ve said.

                  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.
