Subincision is a form of male genital mutilation (MGM) that is practiced by the Aborigines of the arid regions of northwest Australia. Subincision is considered to be the most severe form of male genital mutilation.
Subincision is a cut along the ventral side of the penis from the glans penis to the scrotum that lays open the urethra.[1]
The subincised male must squat to urinate.[1]
The aborigines have no myth that explains the origin or reason for sub-incision. Anthropologists have also been unable to produce a satisfactory explanation.[1]
