I've never been able to find an explanation for why it's so prevalent in the US, where W.H.O. estimate between 76% & 92% of American male babies have their polo neck sweater removed before leaving hospital. More have it done later as part of a religious ceremony, so it's overwhelmingly common. And yet, other than when it's done for medical reasons. hardly anyone, male or female, childrens' rights activists, parents or doctors seem interested in asking "why?" Ostensibly on the basis that it reduces the risk of penile cancer (which is incredibly rare). The evidence for this is sketchy and keeping your tadger clean and smeg-free is probably equally effective. However there are a whole heap of pediatric surgeons whose income is dependent on snipping wee boys' cocks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To hold the opposite view to the above is one the the biggest red flags of OFTW behaviour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
