Attempts to control HIV by imposing mass circumcision on populations will be unsuccessful, says Geisheker. Circumcision can change sexual behavior in a way that promotes the spread of HIV. Circumcised men have a greater tendency to engage in riskier, 'more highly elaborated' sexual practices. Such behavior often includes unsafe sexual practices less frequent use of condoms, which deaden sensation even more for circumcised men, unprotected anal sex, or sex with multiple partners. This may contribute to the high rate of HIV infection in the United States, where circumcision rates are still of epidemic proportions.

Sexual behavior. The alteration to the sexual organ causes many circumcised males to change their sexual behavior. Foley reported that circumcised males are more likely to masturbate.10 Hooykaas et al. reported that immigrant (mostly circumcised) males have a greater tendency to engage in risky sexual behavior with prostitutes as compared with Dutch (mostly normal intact) males.23 The U. S. National Health and Social Life Survey found that circumcised males have a "more elaborated" set of sexual practices, including more masturbation, and more heterosexual oral sex.30 The British National Survey of Sexual Attitudes and Lifestyles (2000) reported that circumcised males were more likely to report having a homosexual partner and more likely to have partners from abroad as compared with normal intact males.56 Circumcised men are significantly less likely to use condoms.

A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that circumcision provided no significant prophylactic benefit and that circumcised men were more likely to engage in various sexual practices. Specifically, circumcised men were significantly more likely to masturbate and to participate in heterosexual oral sex than uncircumcised men.

As suggested by Lipsitt, even without memory of the specific circumcision event the painful experience might affect the infant's subsequent behavior, which in turn may determine other's responses to the baby and thus affect subsequent environmental inputs to the child. [CIRP Note: Later research verified long-lasting changes in behavior. See Effect of neonatal circumcision on pain response during subsequent routine vaccination.]

It fails to acknowledge that there is much about circumcision that we do not know. For example, it does not answer or even ask about the potential connection between circumcision and impotence. This connection has been noted in the medical literature.
