The testimonials on this blog are from real people who (mostly) come from the USA. This blog serves to document common circumcision complications and the prevailing ignorance surrounding this archaic practice. Singly, reports of circumcision harm are dismissed as anecdotal. Collectively, these reports are proof that circumcision damages boys and the men they become. "Intelligence is being able to learn from your mistakes; Wisdom is being able to learn from the mistakes of others."

"Maureen" from Louisiana
Myth: "It hurts more when they are older"
Pain is pain. In fact, new research suggests that newborns may feel pain even more acutely than adults do. Adults can at least understand the what and the why, regarding their own pain, whereas infants can not process this. This fact alone must increase the terror factor for children.
If you cut off your child's ear or any other part of his anatomy, the pain is every bit as real (and much more terrifying) as it would be if he was older.
