Not only the foreskin but the whole of the outer skin of the penis had been removed, rather like peeling a carrot." Guest/Eliza

Do you know the reasoning behind such an action? There must be some kind of rationale. I imagine there would forever be exposed blood vessels with just a thin 'skin' protecting them. It would seem to make it impossible for normal sexual activity, ever.

With the male sex so venerated what could possibly be the reason for such mutilation?
