'''Alexithymia''' is a word used to describe "people who have difficulties recognizing, processing, and regulating emotions." Alexithymia is considered to be a ''personality trait'', not a mental disorder. Alexithymia occurs in more males than females. Alexithymia occurs frequently with other disorders such as autism spectrum disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)<ref>{{REFweb

The higher percentage of alexithymia in males as compared with females and the occurrence of it with other disorders associated with non-therapeutic infant circumcision such as autism spectrum disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder suggest that infant circumcision may be a contributing factor.
Bollinger & Van Howe (2011) conducted a preliminary survey of 300 men, of which 64 were intact (21.3%) and 236 (78.67%) were circumcised.<ref name="bollinger2011">{{REFjournal
