Mr Kellogg, of cereal fame, brought circumcision to general Medical practice in the U. S. for the SPECIFIC purpose of decreasing masturbation, which he viewed as sinful. His reasoning was if you make masturbation LESS PLEASURABLE by making the penis LESS SENSITIVE TO PHYSICAL EROTIC STIMULATUON, then teen age boys would be less inclined to do it, as it wasn't as pleasurable any more. Nobody in the Western Medical Establishment knew how to do a radical circumcision, as opposed to just removing the tip, so they had to learn from Moyels, Rabbis with supervisado training. In an infant (until puberty),) the foreskin is tightly attached to the underlying glans in the same fashion tha the root of a a fingernail is attached to the finger. Removing the foreskin is as painful and traumatic as ripping a fingernail from the underlying nail bed. And circumcisions actually remove fully half of penile skin, leaving a large band of much less sensitive skin - the scar band - on the penile shaft, from about half way up the base to the corona of the glans
