Female Genital Mutilation - Reasons to not circumcise a woman

Reasons to not circumcise a woman

One of the most common reasons given for FGM is the mistaken deception and lie that it will reduce the probability of fornication and adultery and promiscuity in the female. The following are some of the reasons given for not circumcising a female:

  1. It is not called for, or even remotely recommended, commanded, implied or suggested in the Bible, the Koran, or any other "holy book".
  2. Matt 15:19 "For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders." (NAS) Fornication and adultery are a matter of the heart. If one wants to reduce these, the heart should be circumcised, or cut out, NOT the woman's My wife and our daughters were never circumcised, and were never promiscuous, because their hearts were circumcised.
  3. The woman's clitoris does NOT cause sexual desire in the female. It is the ovaries that produce hormones that control the libido, that is, the sexual If one wants to decrease sexual desire in the man, the testicles should be removed, in the woman, the ovaries, and not the penis, nor the clitoris.
  1. Cutting off the woman's clitoris is THE SAME as if a man's penis were cut One may remove the penis, but if the testicles are left, sexual desire will continue. Likewise, one may remove the clitoris, etc., but if the ovaries are left, sexual desire will continue unabated in the woman. Cutting off the man's penis does not remove sexual desire, if the gonads or testicles are left. The itch is still there, in both cases, but the means by which to scratch the itch, and obtain relief is minimized.
  2. Again: There are indications that FGM, or female circumcision may actually INCREASE promiscuity, fornication and adultery in a woman, in that, since she is unable or handicapped in her ability to experience an orgasm &/or pleasure, she may attribute her inability to a partner's inexperience or lack of skill, and she may pursue pleasure elsewhere. This may result in an increase in promiscuity.
  3. Eph 5:28 says, "So husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself;" and, Verse 33 "Nevertheless let each individual among you also love his own wife even as " (NAS) If a man loves his wife as his own body, and as much as he loves himself, he will desire that she experience pleasure just as intensely and as often as he, himself. A man who is not interested or concerned that his wife have as much pleasure as himself, is IGNORANT, STUPID, INCONSIDERATE, and/OR CRUEL. A father or mother who does not want their daughter to experience sexual pleasure in marriage is likewise ignorant, inconsiderate, crude and cruel. Circumcising the female is the SAME as if a parent, worried that their little boy will be promiscuous later on in life, cut off the head of the little boy's penis. If they are really concerned, they will cut off most of the penis. If they are really, really concerned, they cut off the whole penis!!! If they really want to be cruel, they will leave the testicles to remain to continue to create sexual desire, but take away the means by which the desire can be fulfilled. This is the EXACT male counterpart to female genital mutilation circumcision, when the outward genitals are removed, yet the ovaries remain to continue producing sexual desire in the woman.
