History and Practice of Circumcision
Posted by PRS on June 26th, 2006
The practice of removing some or all of the foreskin (prepuce) from the penis is called circumcision. The word circumcision itself comes from two Latin words; circum (meaning "around") and caedere (meaning "to cut"). Although usually thought of as pertaining to males, circumcision is also sometimes associated with females and refers to a variety of procedures performed on the female genitalia. Circumcision is usually performed for religious, cultural, and medical reasons. In some cases, elective adult circumcision is performed for body modification or aesthetic reasons.
