'''Circumcised''' is the [https://www.wordnik.com/words/participle 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]]). [[Intact]] is displacing circumcised among newborn boys as the new NORM in America.<ref>{{REFweb |url=https://en.intactiwiki.org/wiki/United_States_of_America#Intactness_is_the_new_norm |title=Intact is the new norm |last=Anonymous |first= |init= |publisher=IntactiWiki |date=2024-04-09 |accessdate=2024-05-14}}</ref>

A few circumcised males report difficulty in reaching a climax during sexual intercourse.
Surprisingly, many circumcised men are ignorant of their [http://www.intactaus.org/information/functionsoftheforeskin/ lost function]. They may not know that they are circumcised. Many men cannot recognize their [[circumcision scar]] as a scar.<ref>{{REFbook
}}</ref> 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.

Men who voluntarily submitted to [[adult circumcision]] may rue their decision and become [[regret men]].
