* '''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
