I have and they were all pissed off that their parents were too clueless to have them circumcised after birth when there would be a lot less pain involved. However, after a few weeks of some pain, they were back to normal again except they were a lot cleaner.
"PJ," I have ENORMOUS RESPECT for you!!
I have followed & Read your 'Posts for YEARS!!
I regard you to be one of the "Brightest, Most Articulate" FReepers on this extraordinary Website!!
I've NEVER checked your background; BUT, your comments & assertions about Male Circumcision are indicative of a HIGH DEGREE of "Misinformation!!"
I am a FULLY TRAINED & HIGHLY EXPERIENCED General Surgeon. I have a VAST Field of experience in Medicine, (& I LOVE what I Do!!)
While I would NEVER claim to "Speak For" ANY "Group" of my Patients, I can report to you a "Strong Sense" of the "Thoughts & Beliefs & Feelings" of the Many Thousands of patients I have "Dealt With!!"
I can Honestly Report that I have "Treated" about 1/4 Million "Patients" over the past 30 years!!
I'm Simply trying to say that "Circumcision" is NOT like "Cutting a Toenail!!"
The "Victim" of this "Procedure" is PERMANENTLY TRAUMATIZED!!=="Infant or Not"!!!
Take IT from an "Expert,"-----"Circumcision" is NOT "Benign!!"
"Circumcision" IS NOT EQUIVALENT to "Cutting One's Toenails!!!!"
I SAY THIS as One who has a CREDIBLE level of "Expertise!!"
