One of the main reasons routine infant circumcision became popular in Western Society, among people that did not have a tradition of doing it, was because it was said to reduce masturbation. This was ridiculous, but that's what's been claimed since the 1800's. Circumcision is a big money maker for the doctors, and unnecessary except in very rare cases - such as penile cancer in elderly men.

The insurance companies are also to blame, for paying the doctors' fees.
