Why do a lot of Americans are circumcised??
| For a while (like late 1800s-early 1900s) a lot of people did it because they believed masturbation was a big problem and circumcision made it harder to do, and then it just sort of got normalized.
Corn flakes and Graham crackers were also originally designed to prevent masturbation (well, and other percieved problems) by being bland, but that was obviously even flimsier than the circumcision thing
| Religious reasons, and sometimes sexual health. Its just a cultural thing.
| It's ritual mutilation done by and for the largest and most influential cult to ever exist. The kind of shit people should be freaking out over.
