Restoring a sense of pleasure The Raelian movement has been discussed here before . Clitoraid is their latest scam and you can donate now to adopt a clitoris and help them build the Pleasure Hospital in Ouagadougou.

Y'know, if they're actually doing this, I can't really see it as a bad thing.

Is it even possible to provide such a service to the victims of female circumcision? I'd think that once the nerve endings are gone they're gone for good.

I saw an ad for this on a bulletin board at the university where I work. On the face of it, it sounds a worthy cause, but the Raelians running it certainly adds to the scam probability. What evidence do you have for it to be a scam, theemperorhasnoclotheson?

Dubious. How many women are there who have had the mutilation, but whose family circumstances are now so different that it would be allowable for them to do this? Not many, I should think. And how would they get there?

If I needed to have my clitoris repaired, I don't think I'd trust wacky cultists to do the job.

Here is a poem on the subject of female circumcision by a young female Nigerian Poet which goes well with [the] paintings [of female circumcision - SFW, I guess, by Burkina Faso painter, Suzanne Ouedraogo].

Next the Sc***tologists will be getting in the act: FREE personality test and labial rejuvenation! I wonder if that includes a free clitoral E-meter reading?

No specific evidence on this one, aeschenkarnos, but Rael's previous stunts (human cloning, perpetual orgasms) have had a high hoax calibre.

This is excellent news. I'm going to volunteer straightaway for Plaisir Médecins Sans Frontières.

Perpetual orgasams are not a hoax. Just sayin'.

Methylviolet writes 'Yeah really, Amyms! 'Next the Sc***tologists will be getting in the act:' What, the Scatologists have got their own cult now? "Behold, our rich brown substance! Every spoonful swallowed brings you one step closer to God!"

Jimbob writes 'Perpetual orgasams are not a hoax. ".' Not if your man keeps on hittin' the bottom and working the sides, they aren't.

amyms sez - If I needed to have my clitoris repaired, I don't think I'd trust wacky cultists to do the job. That's a fair point, really. What irks me is the name... I mean, people are getting mutilated: try a little harder not to appear like you're on the Crazy Bus.

something smells fishy about this, but I can't put my finger on it.
