The following list lists the various forms of male genital mutilation, starting with the lightest to the most severe known form (excluding {{W|castration}}). Information about the [[pain]] is of course very subjective. It plays a major role whether tissue on the ventral side of the [[penis]] is involved, as there is a strong concentration of nerves in the [[frenulum]]. In initiation rituals, the infliction of pain is usually quite intentional. | The following list lists the various forms of [[male genital mutilation]], starting with the lightest to the most severe known form (excluding {{W|castration}}).
