How to wash a penis

Three baby boys near Vetlanda in Sweden have been infected after being circumcised by a travelling quack. Rest assured that these tragedies are the result of some sort of religious belief, and this is what makes it so sad. Because there is no need for things like this to ever happen. Even if we put aside the fact that the “doctor” wasn’t a physician at all, what are we doing carving into the genitals of babies?

This stupid religious rite should be outlawed. If your kid grows up to believe in some god, that’s sad in its own right, but let him at least keep his ability to enjoy sex.

And no, there are no hygienic benefits to circumcision. If you believe that a supernatural being created the world, do you really think he couldn’t work out how to keep a penis clean? And leave it up to you to fix what the omnipotent creater of the universe couldn’t?

Please. Show him how to wash his pee-pee with soap and water and he’ll be fine.
