Criminal Offense: If so called female circumcision describes amputating the clitoris and sometimes partially sewing the vaginal opening closed. In this case, the point is to prevent a woman from having any genital sexual pleasure. Some physicians trim part of the clitoral hood, to expose the head or glans clitoris to make it more sensitive. That is legal, whereas the ampuating the clitoris is a criminal act.

This is a pretty : Upsetting answer. Fgm is often seen as a way to ensure a female's virginity ; fidelity especially when there is infibulation (external tissues are sewn together). Some consider female genitalia to be disgusting or ugly ; fgm is seen as improving esthetics ; enhancing purity. Some men find sex with infibulation more stimulating -although it can be horrifically painful for the female.In some.
