==The certain harm of circumcision==

[[Circumcision]] is a cutting operation to amputate a functional part of the [[penis]]. Newborn boys cannot receive general anesthesia, so every circumcision of newborn boys causes great [[pain]]. Analgesia is offered to sell [[circumcision]] by making parents feel better, but does little for the infant boy. There is also extreme physical and psychic [[trauma]] caused by the loss of a body part. The [[foreskin]] normally has [[Foreskin#Physiological_functions| protective, immunological, sensory, and sexual functions]], which are destroyed with the [[amputation]].

The excision of skin by circumcision makes painful erections more likely. [[Circumcised]] males may experience tight and/or painful erections when there is insufficient residual shaft [[skin]] to permit full expansion and extension of the shaft of the [[penis]] during [[erection]].
