Long Term Consequences of Neonatal Circumcision:
A Preliminary Poll of Circumcised Males.
Male foreskin amputation, euphemistically termed "circumcision," has persisted in various cultures with the unsubstantiated belief that it is a trivial or benign practice.
This has been due in part to the silence of the victims.
Indeed, when male genital mutilation occurs at puberty, a male's silence during the cutting is a measure of his manhood.
Today, men's silence about these mutilations is being broken and they are demanding to be heard.
...the American medical profession has not yet established an accurate and consistent method of recording these complications.
