Association of homosexuality with male circumcision has been made by several researchers.

Schmideberg (1948) reported the case of a boy who had a traumatic circumcision at the age of eight and became a homosexual.[1]

Foley (1966) reported:

More recently, a study was made of admissions to a large Naval hospital. Of all admissions, 32% had been circumcised. Of all admission with the diagnosis of "overt homosexuality," 100% had been circumcised.[2]

Dave et al. (2003) working in the United Kingdom reported that relative to intact men, circumcised men are more likely to report homosexual partners.[3]

Rosemary Romberg (2021) commented:

It has been noted that there are some men who are otherwise heterosexual — perhaps they are married and have children, perhaps they have never had an overt homosexual encounter, but who have been circumcised and have an unusual interest in other men's foreskins. Possibly "foreskin envy", those strong feelings of missing something, is the basis of some men's homosexuality, and certainly in many more cases, the homosexual aspect of bisexuality. Some pose the theory that the original trauma of circumcision, and the resultant resentment over the lack of foreskin brings about a castration anxiety.[4]

It is emphasized that association does not prove cause and effect. Intact men develop homosexuality, but apparently a greater percentage of circumcised men develop homosexuality.
