Also, in terms of the procedure itself, the foreskin is actually attached to the glans at birth and removal at that point is far more "dramatic" a procedure... and it being done to infants is actually what causes a lot of the problems that some experience (scarring / loss of sensation) because it has to be forcibly "peeled away" from the head of the penis. It doesn't start to detach until about age 3... most are fully detached by ages 5 or 6 but for some it doesn't even start to detach until puberty. It should DEFINITELY have detached by 18 - meaning that foreskin removal at age 18 would have far fewer risks, as well as the consent issue. It just makes sense  . |
