I find this ritual very disturbing and highly wrong.

There is no hygiene argument that has been valid since running water became the norm or outside of Africa. Religious reasons, that's even more brutal.

they said HSV-1, that's not genital herpes. It's the coldsore in your mouth herpes that damn near everybody has. Just harmful to newborns.

Not defending the practice here, it's still fucked up. But I think we all assumed it was the STD from the headline. At least I assumed the worst. meh.

Funny that "Jebus" doesn't prevent that happening in this "sacred" ritual.

lulz

I find it disturbing that this is allowed to continue in today's society. How is this not morally wrong on all levels?

Sooo glad I'm not Jewish

Because the jews killed "jebus"?

Oh wow......

The ultra-Orthodox practice of metzitzah b'peh requires a practitioner to orally suck the baby's penis to 'cleanse' the open wound following its circumcision, making them susceptible to the virus

"Jebus" is not the Jew's savior.

Shit like this is why I am an atheist

If god does exist I seriously dont think it's okay to clean a baby's penis with your mouth or have sex with young boys as part of you religion

[LowR3V'in]

why don't you think so?

I think this kind of religious practice is outdated but it's clearly not what you are making it out to be.

maybe you should educate yourself about it before whipping out your jump to conclusions mat

I know of cowboys that bite off testes of cows, but it's because they are so damn slippery.
