This brand new Belgian study confirms what the study in Denmark found: “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.” http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23374102?dopt=Abstract
Likewise, a recent study in Denmark found circumcised men have a much higher rate of sexual problems. http://ije.oxfordjournals.org/content/early/2011/06/13/ije.dyr104.short?rss=1
The Dutch Medical Association says the foreskin is “a complex, erotogenic structure that plays an important role in the mechanical function of the penis during sexual acts, such as penetrative intercourse and masturbation.” www.norm-uk.org/news.html?action=showitem&item=1306
The College of Physicians and Surgeons of British Columbia (2009) said the foreskin “is rich in specialized sensory nerve endings and erogenous tissue.”

The Swedish Paediatric Society called circumcision an assault on boys. http://m.thelocal.se/39200/20120219/
The Finnish Medical Association said “child circumcisions are in conflict with medical ethics.” www.hs.fi/english/article/NEWS+ANALYSIS+Finland+lacks+policy+on+religiously-mandated+male+circumcision/0
The foreskin is an erotogenic organ that protects the glans, acts as a natural lubricant, and is rich with specialized mucosa and over 20,000 high-sensory nerve endings. www.livescience.com/health/070615_penis_sensitivity.html.
Male circumcision is gynecologically equivalent to removing a girl’s clitoral foreskin, the most common form of female circumcision, all of which are illegal in the U.S. despite similar purported health benefits and despite cultural practices. Even the slightest ceremonial incision on a girl’s genitals is illegal.
Ayaan Hirsi Ali, a known opponent of female circumcision, explains how male circumcision can be even worse. www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFNhM-F089E
In this moving video of a baby boy being mutilated, psychologists explain that MGM is not only extremely painful to an infant but also how it can cause lifetime trauma. www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAGNnqyNidY www.cirp.org/library/psych/boyle6/
Most men throughout the world are not circumcised. Europeans, Latin Americans, Asian/Pacific Islanders, Africans, and American Indians, generally do not mutilate their boys, with some exceptions. Boys in those cultures learn to wash with soap and water just as girls do, which is all that is needed.
Non-religious circumcision has been traced to the prevention of masturbation in both sexes. In the United States and in England, circumcision was initially popularized to prevent boys from masturbating. Eventually, the English stopped doing it. The U.S., however, has continuously tried to find medical justifications for it. Circumcision has historically been a cure looking for a disease, constantly being claimed to prevent one disease after another and repeatedly disproved afterwards.

I see the current laws in America would consider Male Baby Mutilation an act of Sexual Assault, if this were performed on an adult male without his consent. So, why are our male babies not protected by current sexual assault law? The act of mutilating little boys’ penis is sick and pedophilia. The sad thing is, Dr’s, both female and male, do this just to make a quick $300 bucks! They also routinely mis-lead young mothers to cut their sons penis’, especially when the Bio Fathers are too scared to be involved due to current anti-male laws. Baby mutilation is sick; WOMEN don’t do this to your NEW BABY SON…he will find out who agreed to have it done to him in later life, and he will hate you internally for allowing him to be victimized. He will NEVER disclose his hatred to you but yes 100% he will be forever concealing his anger. (NCFM ~ We NEED to start educating young mothers via pamphlets inside clinics describing the “Facts and Myths of Baby Penis Mutilation.” Let’s start calling Baby MALE penis mutilation exactly what it really is: Sexual Assault of a Child under 13 years of age. aka Pedophilia)
Agreed and well said. If you want to create a draft of such a pamphlet, we’ll be glad to work with you on it and discussion distribution. Harry Crouch, President. PS However, trying to make a case for Pedophilia will destroy the legitimacy of the rest of the cause.
