Casual reminder that many religious rules were just basic Hygiene practices from prehistoric times which were later absorbed into the local beliefs.
You are quite right. There is a tribe in East Africa which makes a hole on their lower lip and place a huge disk into it. It is theorised that the practice started to prevent lockjaw disease that may have been prevalent in the area eons ago. I am not sure how this prevents lockjaw but maybe for them it works.

How tf did this even start? Some guy was like, "you know the tip of the dick? Cut it off your children" and they just went along with it
"We're going to cut off (part of) your Johnson!"
Fucking Nazarenes. Nothing changes.
You can tell when a tradition was set in by the hidden undertone it allowed to play for it. "Time for your circumcision... Whoops! Guess you are my eunuch surrogate now, totally didn't mean to eliminate the competition / your genes from my gene pool of surrogates!" Yeah, probably looking too much into it, it's not like it's a practice associated with a culture heavily associated with a god's chosen master race ideology or anything. Totes just a coincidence that it was fabulously sported by the slave loving Egyptians and cultures famous for their obsession with slave land owners of the times as a "rite of passage". ^/actualshitcomment^
God hates the tips of little baby dicks
