* '''"I've never heard anyone complain about being circumcised."'''

*: Chances are that a man does not talk about his sexual or other (genital) issues to others at all. There are many personal stories of men who did and do complain. There is an organization named [[Men Do Complain]], there are books with [[Case Histories|case histories]] of many men who do complain. But it is not the question if men do complain. The question is: Is [[circumcision]] of children a an ~~illegel~~ intervention in the physical integrity? That is continuously asserted by lawyers. The question for victims does also not arise here, because [[circumcision]] of children basically violates the fundamental rights of the child.
