Circumcised males experience physical and psychic [[trauma]] and have a life-long loss of various [[Foreskin#Physiological_functions|physiological functions]]. All have a physical [[circumcision scar]]. Most experience [[Psychological issues of male circumcision|behavioral changes]], however psychic scars are not visible. Circumcised males may experience tight-feeling and painful [[erection]].
Surprisingly, many, perhaps most, circumcised men are ignorant of their lost function. They frequently believe the claims of health benefits and count themselves fortunate to be circumcised! ''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 [[Re B and G (children) (No 2) EWFC 3| B & G]] that excision of the functional [[foreskin]] of the penis constituted "significant harm".<ref>{{REFweb
