Book excerpt: The first book to reassure the young boy & his family that for his penis to remain intact as nature intended is the BEST way. Circumcision is the only surgical procedure where the decision to operate is made solely by parents who know little about the structure & function of the penis & foreskin. In simple words & photographs, THE JOY OF BEING A BOY explains these facts. It is an essential reading for: families with young boys, doctor's offices, libraries, day care centers & schools. This book will educate those who blindly follow tradition or believe in such medical fallacies that surgery is necessary for cleanliness & disease prevention. Even physicians often do not know that the foreskin should be left alone until it naturally retracts in childhood. The United States is the only country that circumcises most male infants for non-ritualistic reasons. According to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights & the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child "no-one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment." As well as psychological harm, for the adult male an average of twelve square inches of erogenous tissue is lost by this medically-unnecessary genital mutilation.
