Clitoridectomy or female genital mutilation involves the removal or splitting of the clitoral hood, termed "hoodectomy", with or without excision of the clitoris.
The inhumane practice of removing a woman's clitoris. Was used in USA to combat chronic masterbation in the 1800's- early 1900's. Currently used in African and middle eastern countries as a deterrant to promiscuity. Extreme practices also remove the labia and sew the wound up to only a match sized hole.
After each child, the wound is sewed up again, to give the muslem husband that new pussy feel.
