- Think of it this way. A woman bleeds profusely from her genitals
- starting at puberty. Men of course, would have to cut theirs open and
- MAKE it bleed, and they would have to hope it doesn't trigger an
- infection. You would have to find someplace to make the cut, of course.
-
- This would, however, not be the easiest, cheapest, and most effective
- way of obtaining genital blood.
-
- Many men have volunteered for this, and even celebrated it to the
- express exclusion of females -- see the bar mitzvah and it's PC and much
- more underrated cousin the bat mitzvah. Someone once said that many
- rites for manhood involve taking over the functions that women perform
- naturally. Besides, many male rituals of bonding and all that seem to
- involve stoic bearing of great pain. This would be no different.
