I can certainly vouch for this. I was circumcised at birth in a different state than where my parents lived. (long story off topic). Our family doctor told my mother that the circumciser "didn't take enough off". Meaning i almost looked "uncircumcised". He told her she would need to pull the skin back to separate adhesions. This of course caused bleeding and eventually infections, which were blamed by the doctor on "too much skin being left" and not the fact that i had open wounds on my penis. At some point the infection got so bad my parents where worried i would loose my penis. Luckily i didn't. At about 3 or 4 i can remember (one of my first memories) being told by my mother to "pull the skin back and separate it. I can remember watching it roll back and tear away from the corona and bleed. Even at that age i knew something was really wrong about what my mother was telling me, why she, a 20 year old mother didn't question it is beyond me. So fast forward to me in puberty at about 16 years old or so. Now because of puberty my penis had grown much larger and now my penis skin, which WAS "too much", was now not enough to allow for erections without pain. I knew something was wrong. Soon after i found out what circumcision was and what it did to me, soon after i discovered foreskin restoration and began fixing what was done to me.
So is it wrong to circumcise infants for no reason? yes
is it wrong to pull apart adhesions over and over until the child is 4? yes
does it hurt? Yes
can children remember having adhesions separated? its certainly possible
are erections painful when circumcision takes the skin required to have an erection. Heck yeah
is it disgusting that a parent would be disappointed that unnecessary cosmetic surgery on their own infant didn't take enough skin off so it would please them visually? i think so
Do i wish i didn't have to ask these questions anymore? yes yes yes
finally I would like to say that the medical people are just as responsible for this as the parents. The medical people are the ones who do the circumcision, push circumcision, and tell the parents to forcibly separate adhesions.
. But I couldn't help but think "ouch"...like...they are repeatedly hurting their child in an attempt to mold the penis into how they think it should look.
