There are four painful steps in every infant circumcision:
1. Before circumcision surgery can commence, the surgeon must first forcibly separate these two highly innervated body parts in an exquisitely painful procedure by the passage of a blunt probe between the two parts to rip and tear the [[synechia]] apart.<ref>{{REFjournal

2. Next, in another painful procedurestep, a [[dorsal slit]] must be cut in the foreskin, so that a special clamp can be installed.
3. The foreskin is erogenous tissue,<ref>{{REFjournal

4. Finally, in another, painful procedurestep, the foreskin must be cut away.
Circumcision is an invasive cutting operation. Like other invasive operations, post-surgical pain persists after the surgery for days or weeks. Infant boys will not receive effective analgesia because of their young makes such drugs dangerous.
