Line 483:

* Circumcision permanently and irreversibly amputates the [[Foreskin sensitivity| highly innervated]], erogenous [[foreskin]], so its [[Foreskin#Physiological_functions| multiple protective, immunological, sensory, and sexual physiological functions]] are destroyed and has many [[risks and complications]]. The sensitive head of the [[penis]] will be permanently exposed so the [[Glans penis| head]] will rub against clothing. Many men find this to be very painful.

* Most men report a permanent loss of [[Sexual sensation of the foreskin| sexual sensation]].

* Most men report a permanent substantial loss of [[Sexual sensation of the foreskin| sexual sensation]].

* Circumcision results in a permanent [[circumcision scar]].

* Circumcision is irreverible amputation. Circumcision cannot be undone. [[Regret men]] are common.
