Reports of impotence after circumcision
The first case report is from 1929. Edward Glover, a psychoanalyst from London, was conducting an analysis of a patient who suffered from erectile dysfunction. Eventually it developed that the patient was circumcised between the age of three and one-half years and your years of age. The boy cried out after the surgery, ""Why did you let him cut it off?"[1]
