=>Absolutely. This is getting beyond the scope of misc.kids, but don't
=>people generally only perform sexual acts that are pleasurable for

I would like to point out that for every man who thinks the way you do, there
is a woman in Sudan who is having her daughter infibulated for *exactly* the
same reasons.
