Male [[circumcision]] is a surgical amputation of the [[foreskin]],which contains more than one-half of the erogenous epithelium of the [[penis]]. The amputation most frequently carried out on infants and small boys who cannot and do not give consent for the loss of so much of their penis. There are many '''psychological issues of male circumcision''' that arise from the painful, involuntary loss of the part of the penis with the erogenous tissue that provides much sexual sensation. | Male [[circumcision]] is a surgical amputation of the [[foreskin]], which contains more than one-half of the erogenous epithelium of the [[penis]].
