Circumcised

Circumcised is an adjective applied to the incomplete penis and to males with an incomplete penis, which has had an essential, functional part (the foreskin) excised, resulting in a condition of male genital mutilation (MGM). Circumcised males have a life-long loss of physiological functions. Most experience behavioral changes.

Circumcised is a Biblical term. It occurs 43 times in the Bible. The first occurrence is in Genesis 17:10. It also is used as a noun to refer to the Hebrews.

Family Court Judge Sir James Munby ruled in the case of B & G that excision of the functional foreskin of the penis constituted "significant harm".
