Is a radical circumcision a Jewish religious requirement Avi I finally talked to a Mohel and sounded like he does frenectomies about as often as might be expected in a US Hospital circ He does them for the same problem that is the newly post circ tightened shaft skin now pulls on the glans via the frenulum Quick flick of the nail It looks better The penis may not heal properly otherwise that was his main concern Sorry lots of inflammatory language but what do you think about this Is Periah a religous requirement Would Milah be sufficient Isn t there a religous concern about doing harm We should cover this issue in the Topic We should also discuss the high rate of UTI infection that has been found post traditional ceremonies I assume you don t have a frenulum because that s the only case where I could personally discount accounts of sexual harm from circ related frenectomies You know I think on average circs may not effect male sensation in a net negative way Cases of phimosis and frenulum breve and poor hygiene maybe 30 of uncirced guys have relatively poor sexual response That might equal the guys that lost or suffered significant damage to their frenulums I think it s always bad for women
