"My ex and the hospital pressured me into circumcising my first child. I was naive,
ignorant. The moment I saw him I knew he was not the same baby I had just let go of; I
had to check his wristband because his eyes had changed. He was still in shock. When he
peed he screamed. When I saw his wound I broke down crying. What had I done? What
did they do to him?? I've been against circumcision ever since, I just wish I had known
before it was too late for him. I had two more sons after him, they're intact, whole and will
never know the pain of genital cutting"

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."
