Professor Dr. [[Alfonso Cepeda-Emiliani]], in a presentation in Brisbane, [[Australia]], has called attention to the harmful and unethical nature of the practice of penile neurotomy (PN). He reports it was first introduced by Brazilian urologists in the 1980s as a treatment for [[premature ejaculation ]] (PE), but without the appropriate rigorous ethical/scientific scrutiny.. It has since spread to many areas of the world.<ref name="brisbane2025">{{REFconference

==Neurotomy and circumcision==
Every [[child circumcision]] and [[adult circumcision]] inherently includes neurotomy and the complete excision of the [[ridged band]] sensory region of the [[foreskin]]. Adverse effects after circumcision, as reported by Cepeda-Emiliani, are normal and include permanent loss of [[erogenous sensation of the foreskin]], [[Erection| erectile dysfunction]], and [[Psychological injury of male circumcision| mental effects]] up to and including [[suicide]]. Some [[circumcised]] men need therapy due to their [[trauma]] and physical and functional loss.<ref name="watson2017">{{REFjournal
