'''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.<ref name="singer1967">{{REFjournal
