Male circumcision is a surgical [[amputation]] of the [[foreskin]] from the penis that severs nerves and blood vessels that provide blood to the [[penis]].
The effect of male [[circumcision]] upon [[erection]] (impotence) has not been adequately explored in public discourse. ==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.
