Taking tradition and culture a bit too far....

"The practice is known as oral suction, or in Hebrew, metzitzah b'peh: after removing the foreskin of the penis, the practitioner, or mohel, sucks the blood from the wound to clean it.

I was gonna agree with you there ws, and then remembered that I too am a member of a religion[:x)] Only loosely, and only coz the people there are so nice [:)]

Let's keep this to cultural, traditional nonsenses:
i.e. bounding of feet
genital mutilation
and in HK, starving yourself to fool yourself that you look good [88]

No offense intended, Crone. Was just a word-play I could not resist.

Beliefs/value systems that do not teach people to think, but rather perpetuate myths and practices that are self-serving - for group of people.

I am not knocking beliefs, we all have our own, but only those that teach the wrong way - i.e., to keep others in chains.


I can understand dogma in a way, but will never condone it. Stupid man passing his herpes to infants - and we all know that when we have a cold, another virus, we do not go near infants let alone suck an open wound! Just ranting ....phew!

I hear you sabi[xo] Just wanted to put across my 2 cents..many of my friends think I'm delusional because I choose not to see the dark side...[:-(] That's why I am so amazed, so shocked when bad things happen to good people [V] So, yes, my belief could be ( in others' eyes) keeping me from seeing clearly![:u]


Gotta dolly up now and cover as many of my wrinkles as possible[:x)]

Of course not. The priests use it to wash their hair. [88][88]

I think they are offered here in HK as well.
One guy told me it is about HKD 300 a pop so the oral thing maybe HKD 150??
