FORESKIN FACTS.
FORESKIN FACTS:
THE NAKED TRUTH ABOUT CIRCUMCISION.

TIME TO CONFRONT THE DOUBLE STANDARD.
Female genital mutilation (FGM); male circumcision (MGM):
time to confront
the double standard.
I support this campaign and I believe that FGM is impermissible.
Indeed, I think that all children, whether female, intersex, or male, should be protected from having parts of their genitals removed unless there is a pressing medical indication; I think this is so regardless of the cultural or religious affiliations of the child’s parents.

ALEXITHYMIA AND CIRCUMCISION.
Alexithymia and Circumcision Trauma:
A Preliminary Investigation.
This preliminary study investigates what role early trauma might have in alexithymia acquisition for adults by controlling for male circumcision.
Three hundred self-selected men were administered the Toronto Twenty-Item Alexithymia Scale checklist and a personal history questionnaire.
The circumcised men had age-adjusted alexithymia scores 19.9 percent higher than the intact men:-
were 1.57 times more likely to have high alexithymia scores;
were 2.30 times less likely to have low alexithymia scores;
had higher prevalence of two of the three alexithymia factors (difficulty identifying feelings and difficulty describing feelings);
and were 4.53 times more likely to use an erectile dysfunction drug.
Alexithymia in this population of adult men is statistically significant for having experienced circumcision trauma and for erectile dysfunction drug use.
People suffering from the personality trait disorder alexithymia have difficulty identifying and expressing their feelings.
They daydream less, and confuse emotions with body sensations, such as physical pain.
They tend to lack imagination and intuition. This translates into not being able to imagine what others are feeling, leading to an inability to respond to others' needs.
People with severe alexithymia are so removed from their feelings that they view themselves as being robots or automatons.
If acquired at an early age, this might limit access to language and interfere with the socialization process that begins early in life.
Moderate to high alexithymia can interfere with personal relationships and hinder therapy.

HARRY STYLES: 'ONE DIRECTION'.
Harry Styles of the Pop Group - 'One Direction' - dumped girlfriend, Taylor Swift, because she hounded him to get circumcised.
(Good One, Harry!)
Harry Styles...
One Direction...
Media report...
The One Direction star apparently hated that Taylor kept nagging him about clipping his manhood.
“Taylor didn’t like the fact that English-born Harry was not circumcised – she even suggested he undergo surgery!” a source said.
“Harry made it clear he had no intention of changing anything.
He asked her not to mention it again. But Taylor never missed the chance to poke fun or make a comment.
“At first, Harry just rolled his eyes and tried to ignore her, but the final straw came when she suggested once again that he get…snipped!”

INFANT MALE CIRCUMCISION.
INFANT MALE CIRCUMCISION
IS GENITAL MUTILATION.
Men should have the right to choose circumcision, not have the choice forced upon them.
Infant circumcision without consent or immediate medical justification is an unjustified violation of basic human rights, that shares more in common with ancient coming-of-age rituals than responsible medical practice.
There are still many people who like to pretend that infant circumcision and genital mutilation are not the same thing.

INTACTIVISTS OF AUSTRALASIA.
Intactivists of Australasia.
(Bringing an end to the non-therapeutic circumcision of minors in Australia and New Zealand.)
Minority Reporter:
How Brian Morris fought a personal war against the human foreskin (and how he lost).
Brian Morris, who is a Professor of molecular biology at the University of Sydney, has spent much of his adult life attempting to defend the practice of routine infant circumcision.
He has, in essence, fought a personal war against a normal part of the human anatomy (the male foreskin).
Morris has utilised a wide range of tactics in order to prosecute his case in relation to this issue.
He has mastered the art of optimising media opportunities to promulgate his views on the subject.
He has also surrounded himself with like-minded individuals, whom he has hoped would provide credible support for his war against the foreskin.
Morris and his allies have attempted to harness scientific research in order to underpin their opinions and they have been unrelenting in their attempts at discrediting those who express views that contradict their own.
Despite his dedication and persistence, the evidence provided below demonstrates quite clearly that Morris has lost the battle.
The ‘courts’ of science, medicine and (perhaps most importantly) public opinion have ruled against him.
