      Look up “John Harvey Kellogg circumcision”. A lot of the US obsession with cutting up baby penisses is because of him and his obsession with preventing boys from masturbating.

        On Wikipedia, his supposed instigation and popularization of circumcision is listed as a common misconception. It still looks like he supported the practice at some point though
