[[Rosemary Romberg ]] (2021) commented:
<blockquote>
It has been noted that there are some men who are otherwise heterosexual — perhaps they are married and have children, perhaps they have never had an overt homosexual encounter, but who have been [[circumcised]] and have an unusual interest in other men's foreskins. Possibly "foreskin envy", those strong feelings of missing something, is the basis of some men's homosexuality, and certainly in many more cases, the homosexual aspect of bisexuality. Some pose the theory that the original [[trauma]] of circumcision, and the resultant resentment over the lack of [[foreskin]] brings about a castration anxiety.<ref name="romberg2021">{{REFbook

[[Intact]] men also develop homosexuality, but apparently a greater percentage of [[circumcised]] men develop homosexuality.
It is emphasized that association does not prove causation, but may indicate a subject for further investigation.
