Goldman reported reasons why circumcised man say little about how truly feel: | |||
<blockquote> | |||
# Accepting beliefs and cultural assumptions about circumcision prevents men from recognizing and feeling their dissatisfaction; e.g. being told when young that it was necessary for health reasons and not questioning that. | |||
# The emotions connected with circumcision that may surface are very painful; repressing them protects men from this pain. If the feelings become conscious, they can still be suppressed. | |||
# Those who have feelings about their circumcision are generally afraid to express them because their feelings may be dismissed or ridiculed. | |||
# Verbal expression of feelings requires conscious awareness. Because early traumas are generally unconscious, associated feelings are expressed non-verbally through behavioural, emotional, and physiological forms.<ref name="goldman1999" /> | |||
