Re: Metzitzah technique

I agree. The cycle isn't complete until the abused becomes the abuser. If we look at criminals like Hitler, who was abused as a child, it may take thirty years before it consciously manifests but we see that he definitely became an abuser in the worst way. Likewise, this priest took great pride at justifying his actions of performing the Metzitzah. His reasoning was certainly absurd.

I liked your comment when I read it a long time ago:

"If your girlfriend or wife wants to see what cut or uncut is like, it is very simple, hold your damn foreskin back so the skin on the shaft is tight. Have sex like that, she won't like it after 5 minutes unless you use loads of synthetic lube, even then its rougher."

Now all we need is a study to be done on a large scale and have both men and women describe their experiences of before and after to bring in more awareness about this issue.
