→Circumcision: Revise text and Wikify.
* Circumcision permanently and irreversibly amputates the [[Foreskin sensitivity| highly innervated]], erogenous [[foreskin]], so its [[Foreskin#Physiological_functions| multiple protective, immunological, sensory, and sexual physiological functions]] are destroyed and has many [[risks and complications]]. The sensitive head of the [[penis]] will be permanently exposed so the [[Glans penis| head]] will rub against clothing. Many men find this to be very painful.
* Most men report a permanent substantial loss of [[Sexual sensation of the foreskin| sexual sensation]].
* Circumcision results in a permanent [[circumcision scar]].
* Circumcision is irreverible amputation. Circumcision cannot be undone. [[Regret men]] are common.
<b><u>[[Adolescent and adult circumcision| Circumcision]] should be the treatment of last resort, to be used only after conservative methods of treatment fail.</u></b>

Circumcision usually is an elective surgical amputation. Men who elect to be [[circumcised]] can only blame themself if they do not like the results.
