              safe and sound

THEY LOVE TO KEEP YOU

              pure and clean

 

       you are bound

YOU HARDLY NOTICE

       they are mean

 

  seem so fine

AND THEIR INTENTIONS

  have no vice

 

are sublime

   BECAUSE THEIR METHODS

are so nice

Circumcision: Literature and References

Note : Some referenced books, articles and illustrations are very explicit. Viewer discretion strongly advised. Remark : this selection of literature may be biased and does certainly only scratch the surface of available publications (both Pro and Con).

Conclusions of the authors: The erection in Paleolithic art is explicitly represented in almost all the figures defined as unequivocally male that have survived to the present and in many objects of portable art.
