Even if the psychological condition of circumcision do not coalesce into a formal diagnosis of PTSD, it is possible that there may
be long lasting effects on a man's life, particularly in psychologically sensitive individuals with other factors or issues in their
lives. Presumably responding to their current interpretation and feelings, many circumcised men who have recognised the loss of a
highly erogenous, irreplaceable part of their penis have reported long lasting emotional suffering, grief, anxiety, and depression,
and a sense of personal vulnerability. Avoidance or obsessive preoccupation with such a loss, along with anger, can be difficult to
reconcile for some men depending on their particular personality. Emotional numbing, avoidance of the topic of circumcision, and anger
are potential long term psychological consequences of the circumcision trauma. In extreme
cases, there might be aggressive, violent, and / or suicidal behaviour.
.”…”If the only way a male can be made to part with his foreskin is to cut it off by force, what does that say about those who commit
such an act? What does that say about societies that tolerate it? What does that say about institutions that sanctify it?”… …” one
of the most common, most destructive types of all sex abuse crimes are by men who, behind the mask of medicine or religion, try to
make their own lack of a foreskin seem normal by cutting off the foreskins of children and babies.”
