wikify amputation
==Physiological functions==
Antique research by Alfred Kinsey (1948) and Masters & Johnson (1966) misled medical science into believing that the foreskin had no function. This meant the foreskin could be excised without doing harm. In actuality, the foreskin has many functions, so its [[amputation ]] does great harm.

Cold & Taylor (1999) commented, "The increased frequency of [[masturbation]], anal intercourse and fellatio reported by circumcised men in the USA may possibly be due to the sensory imbalance caused by circumcision. Clearly, [[amputation ]] of the prepuce causes changes in sexual behaviour in human males and females."<ref name="cold-taylor1999" />
Frisch et al. (2011) surveyed the sexual function and behavior of a large group of intact and circumcised men in [[Denmark]]. They reported that "circumcised men were more likely (38%) than [[uncircumcised]] men (28%) to report ≥10 sex partners."<ref name="frisch lindholm groenbaek 2011">{{FrischM LindholmM GroenbaekM 2011}}</ref>
