Male circumcision is a surgical amputation of the foreskin from the penis that severs nerves and blood vessels that provide blood to the penis.
The effect of male circumcision upon erection (impotence) has not been adequately explored in public discourse.
Reports of impotence after circumcision
The first case report is from 1929. Edward Glover, a psychoanalyst from London, was conducting an analysis of a patient who suffered from erectile dysfunction. Eventually it developed that the patient was circumcised between the age of three and one-half years and your years of age. The boy cried out after the surgery, ""Why did you let him cut it off?"[1]
Foley (1966), a West Virginia physician stated,
"One possible result of circumcision is impotence: Impotence seems to be frequent in circumcised men, but rare among the uncircumcised."[2]
