My favorite foreskin fact: they used to not give babies any numbing agents for circumcision because they thought they couldn’t feel the pain. Babies would cry for a second after circumcision but then they would fall into a deep sleep so they must be pretty relaxed! One day they realized that this ‘deep sleep’ was the babies going into shock.
Wait so in the US (only using USA because of comments and this pictures location) babies are circumcised for reasons other than medical neccesity and religious views?
