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."

"Arlene" from Alabama
I have been told by several adults (including my own mother) that when they were catheterized as children, they felt as if they were raped. It was THAT traumatic. Always insist on the "clean-catch" method from healthcare workers who need a urine sample. Don't let them bully you into catheterizing! Poor baby, so many unnecessary interventions and traumas at such a tender age. :(
