Circumcised is the participle of the verb to circumcise. It functions as an adjective applied to the incomplete penis and to males with an incomplete penis, which has had an essential, functional part (the foreskin) excised, resulting in a condition of male genital mutilation (MGM).
Circumcised males
Circumcised males experience physical and psychic trauma and have a life-long loss of various physiological functions. All have a physical circumcision scar. Psychic scars are not visible, but most experience behavioral changes. Denial of loss is common.[1] Circumcised men who become fathers may exhibit adamant father syndrome.
Circumcised males do not have a preputial sac. Circumcised males may experience tight and painful erection and are more likely to have excess hair on the shaft.
Circumcised males lose most or all of their gliding action.[2]
Most circumcised males experience a masturbation handicap.[2] [3]
Laumann et al. (1997) reported, "circumcised men engage in a more elaborated set of sexual practices."[4]
Surprisingly, many circumcised men are ignorant of their lost function. They may not know that they are circumcised. Many men cannot recognize their circumcision scar as a scar.[5] They frequently believe the fraudulent claims of health benefits and count themselves fortunate to be circumcised! Others may be in denial of loss — the first stage of grief.
For the longer term, non-surgical foreskin restoration may help to improve sensation.
Etymology
Circumcised is a Biblical term. It occurs 43 times in the Bible. The first occurrence is in Genesis 17:10. It also is used as a noun to refer to the Hebrews.
Legal opinion
Family Court Judge Sir James Munby ruled in the case of B & G that excision of the functional foreskin of the penis constituted "significant harm".[6]
