American Journal of Bioethics: “Under most conditions, cutting any person’s genitals without their informed consent is a serious violation of their right to bodily integrity. As such, it is morally impermissible unless the person is nonautonomous (incapable of consent) and the cutting is medically necessary.

Circumcision, the excision of the male foreskin, is torturous genital mutilation with life-long consequences and no health benefits.

Dispel the myth that men do not mind being circumcised. Some men seem not to mind and others mind a great deal. Men circumcised as children (and therefore without their consent) often complain about their inappropriate treatment. Non-therapeutic genital cutting has significant physical and psychological consequences and has no proven benefits. Men who complain about having had their foreskins amputated without their informed consent are consistently treated as having something wrong with them rather than being treated as having had something wrong done to them.

An Aussie man has opened up about a traumatic decision he made after watching an episode of Sex and the City.

After presenting these results to a neurologist, it was interpreted that the circumcision process had inflicted extreme trauma on the boy, so much so that his entire sense of reasoning, perception and emotions were thrown off kilter. And follow-up tests conducted one day, one week and one month after surgery revealed that these changes were permanent—the circumcised baby’s brain would likely never return to its normal baseline configuration.

Neonatal male circumcision is associated with altered adult socio-affective processing

Recent information about circumcision disagrees with previous long-held beliefs about the health benefits of circumcision. The conflicting conclusions, beliefs, and opinions regarding circumcision, together with the tenacity with which advocates and opponents maintain them, suggest that deep psychological factors are involved. The strong motivation to circumcise male infants, even though no national medical organization in the world recommends it, is evident in its continued prevalence.

This study confirms the importance of the foreskin for penile sensitivity, overall sexual satisfaction, and penile functioning. Furthermore, this study shows that a higher percentage of circumcised men experience discomfort or pain and unusual sensations as compared with the uncircumcised population. Before circumcision without medical indication, adult men, and parents considering circumcision of their sons, should be informed of the importance of the foreskin in male sexuality.

“During intercourse, the skin of an intact penis slides up and down the shaft, stimulating the glans and the nerves of the inner and outer foreskin. On the outstroke, the glans is partially or completely engulfed by the foreskin with more skin remaining inside the vagina than is the case with the circumcised penis. This `valve' mechanism is thought to retain the natural lubrication provided by the female because the bunched up skin acts to block the lubrication escaping from the vagina, which results in dryness.”

Because the vast majority of the fine-touch receptors are missing from the circumcised penis, their role as ejaculatory triggers is also absent. The loss of these receptors creates an imbalance between the deep pressure sensed in the glans, corpus cavernosa and corpus spongiosum and the missing fine touch. To compensate for this imbalance, to achieve orgasm, the circumcised man must stimulate the glans, corpus cavernosa and corpus spongiosum by thrusting deeply in and out of the vagina. As a result, coitus with a circumcised partner reduces the amount of vaginal secretions in the vagina, and decreases continual stimulation of the mons pubis and clitoris.

Circumcision of men in this population did not reduce their risk of acquiring these non-ulcerative STIs. The incidence of these STIs, individually or combined, did not differ by circumcision status as a time-dependent variable, or fixed variable based on assignment.

Forced retraction is the cause of almost all problems seen with intact children. Unfortunately, the majority of American doctors are still using outdated medical advice and are uneducated on normal, whole penis anatomy and are prone to giving misinformation that can actually harm your child.

Infant male circumcision is widely acknowledged to be a non-therapeutic (i.e. medically unnecessary) procedure which is not actively recommended by any medical association in the world. Two recently published medical articles have highlighted the dangers of the most common surgical procedure worldwide – and one that is performed almost exclusively for religious or cultural reasons on children too young to consent.
https://www.secularism.org.uk/opinion/2022/01/recent-studies-agree-the-risks-of-circumcision-outweigh-any-benefits-its-time-to-rethink-our-permissive-approach-to-genital-cutting?fbclid=IwAR1N3Nkid8S2o2NUhYWX-YkW6F4kvi4naN7XS3bHD5APH1SN0XsfLqF69vo
Here, we explore the evidence behind the claimed benefits and risks from a medical and health-related perspective. We examine the number of circumcisions which would be required to achieve each purported benefit, and set that against the reported rates of short- and long-term complications. We conclude that non-therapeutic circumcision performed on otherwise healthy infants or children has little or no high-quality medical evidence to support its overall benefit.

“It is I, Paul, who am telling you that if you have yourselves circumcised, Christ will be of no benefit to you. Once again I declare to every man who has himself circumcised that he is bound to observe the entire law. You are separated from Christ, you who are trying to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace.” —Galatians 5:2-4

Little Images is a Christian organization committed to treating children with dignity and love, as beings designed and created by God in his own image. We affirm the duty of Christians to relieve injustice and suffering in this world, especially for the poor and helpless. And who is more helpless than an infant? We reject mutilation, in all forms harmful and fatal, along with slavery and abuse, as violent attacks on the dignity of those who bear the very image of God. We are committed to doing all we can to stop these attacks.

“If I have a son, I wouldn't circumcise him. Eventually, when he's a mature adult, I want him to experience sex at its finest, and I think if you have your foreskin, the sex will be better. It's like having a kid run a marathon with Skechers instead of Nikes: You want them to have the best equipment, and foreskin is the best equipment.”

Bloodstained Men envision a nation and world in which all human beings are secure in the human right to genital integrity, by virtue of the elimination of both the supply of and the demand for all those forms of genital cutting characterized by both lack of clear and pressing medical necessity and lack of patient consent.

The WHOLE Network (TWN) is dedicated to providing accurate information about circumcision and proper intact care. We supply information to both medical professionals and the general public, both in the United States and abroad. We are men. We are women. We are mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers. We are daughters and sons. Some of us are intact. Some of us are circumcised. We have intact sons. We have circumcised sons. We are from all across the world. We are all very different, but one thing remains the same: we are committed to spreading accurate information to those in need.

Intact America envisions a world where children are free from medically unnecessary surgeries carried out on them without their consent in the name of culture, religion, profit, parental preference, or false benefit. Male child genital cutting (MCGC, a.k.a. circumcision) of baby boys is still happening despite rising evidence of real harm to boys and the men they will become. Stopping baby circumcision is a nascent cause, and is gaining strength as more people speak out. Intact America seeks and advocates for an end MCGC and to ensure healthy sexual futures for all people.

Bleeding to death? It must be very rare since just the outer skin is removed.
Our results indicate that the risk of serious complications and death as a result of infant male circumcision is greater than generally assumed.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34973956/
“Our finding that male neonatal circumcision is associated with SIDS is not surprising. Circumcision is associated with intra-operative and postoperative risks, including bleeding, shock, sepsis, circulatory shock, hemorrhage, pain, and long-term consequences – all of which contribute toward allostatic load and, thereby, SIDS through various mechanisms.”
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6412606/
We also predict that neonatal male circumcision will account for the SIDS gender bias and that groups that practice high male circumcision rates, such as USA whites, will have higher SIDS rates compared to groups with lower circumcision rates. SIDS rates will also be higher in USA states where Medicaid covers circumcision and lower among people that do not practice neonatal circumcision and/or cannot afford to pay for circumcision.

This study found that rather than protecting against penile inflammation, neonatal circumcision increases the risk of penile inflammation, particularly in boys younger than 3 years old.

A wide variety of complications arising from circumcision surgeries are reported in the literature. Forty-seven different complications that arose from male circumcision surgery were found in this study. This does not imply that every male circumcision performed results in a complication but it is important to note that there can be serious life-altering consequences from this procedure, even if it is done correctly. Some of these complications are relatively minor and simple to treat; others, however, require additional surgery to correct the complication. But some complications are irreversible. Even psychological issues have been reported to arise in children after operations, including circumcisions.17 These mental post-operative issues are not commonly listed as potential complications on informed consent literature and are not often taken into account as a risk of circumcision.

Growing evidence shows that early pain experiences in newborn infants may have long-term consequences. This article reviews evidence that early pain experiences have long-term two notable long-term consequences: the long-term perseverance of central nervous system changes following painful insults in the very young organism and, long-term changes in responsiveness of the neuroendocrine and immune systems to stress at maturity.
