Doctors Mistakes Causing Penis Problems
Despite well known deep denial in the US public and despite deception, outright lying and appalling ignorance in US medicine, it's well known that infant circumcision -- a senseless, violent, unethical, medically contraindicated, non-therapeutic, involuntary, destructrive, mutilating and lifelong harmful surgery -- permanently damages the penis anatomically, neurologically and physiologically and that this damage guarantees sexual dysfunction (of a physical/mechical nature). All higher animals, male and female, have foreskin and 80 to 85% of the world's men have normal, natural, intact penis (unlike ~85% of US born men whose primary sex organ was surgically reduced, desexualized and emasculated at birth). Another medical report has just been published documenting this awful anatomical and sexual damage to boys and to the men they become. 2002-07-12
