→Cervical cancer / penile cancer: Wikify.
* '''Incision:''' The [[foreskin]] is incised one or more times.
* '''Subincision''' ([[Aborigines]]): The [[penis]] is cut so deep on the underside that the [[urethra]] is cut open lengthways (partially or completely). Widespread [[infection]] can develop, and it is not uncommon for them to end [[death|fatally]].
* '''Sewing metal bells into the [[skin]]''' ([[India]]): This is said to enable men to better satisfy women.
* '''Sewing bamboo or metal balls (ampallangs) into the glans or penis shaft''' (Indonesia, Korea, Natives of the Philippines): This should stimulate the future partner's [[clitoris]] better.
* '''Skinning the penis''' (Dowayos in Cameroon).<ref name="dowayo"/>
[[Penile cancer]] is an extremely rare form of cancer. It mostly occurs in older men, and most doctors do not recommend infant circumcision as a preventive measure. Penile cancer can occur in both [[circumcised]] and [[intact]] men: The maggot study (an ongoing study of penile cancer at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle) found that 37% of penile cancers occur in [[circumcised]] men.<ref name="cirp-faq"/>
There are "claims that the incidence of cervical carcinoma (cancer of the [[cervix or cervix]]) increased in women after sexual intercourse with [[foreskinned]] men through the transmission of [[smegma]]. This relationship has been rejected by researchers as scientifically implausible."<ref>{{REFweb

=== Female circumcision ===
Female circumcision is usually performed by women. This aspect, that women are not only [[victims]] but at the same time also [[perpetrators]], is mostly ignored in the reporting. It is also the circumcisers themselves who defend themselves against a ban and are also prepared to use violence.<ref>{{REFnews

=== In fiction literature ===
* In [[Elfriede Jelinek]] 's autobiographically influenced novel "The Piano Player", a sadomasochistic, mentally disturbed woman mutilates her own genitals.
* The same thing happens in Lars von Trier's depressing film "Antichrist".

Kinderdoc, who runs a widely read blog on pediatric topics, says:

|Text=From a legal point of view, circumcision is, from a legal point of view, bodily harm, just like any other intervention into the integrity of the body, as long as the patient cannot consent to the intervention. <br> If Muslim or Jewish parents are involved with the Request for transfer to a circumcision for religious reasons, I refuse. For me, the medical aspect is all that counts. And only then does the health system have to pay. Whether the parents then have the operation carried out anyway and whether they and the surgeon are then punishable - — must be decided on a different, philosophical-religious and ethical level. See you again in Karlsruhe.
