[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This discussion is so amusing. I imagine most of us have circumcised husbands. Are any of them traumatized? Mine certainly isn't. The way some of you are describing it, you'd think they'd all be in professional therapy or support groups.[/quote]

I will readily grant that the majority of circumcisions go just fine and the typical adult circumcised man is "happy" with his penis.

However, this does not negate the many men who have:  buried penis, extensive scarring, pieces accidentally taken from their glans, skin bridges, meatal stenois, tight/painful erections, or experience loss of sensation (especially as they get older).  I assure you that yes, these men are indeed traumatized by their circumcisions.  Research helps you understand that while these things are not common, they absolutely do exist -- and circumcising your baby puts him (unnecessarily) at risk for any of these potential complications.  Of course, the boys who actually die due to infection or blood loss have only their traumatized parents to speak for them.
