I was circumcised at birth and have a 1/2" high scar that goes around the entire circumference of my penis. I have never experienced satisfactory sex because my penis lacks much sensation.

Sex is essential for a human's well-being, but I am not able to enjoy it because of my lack of sensation. This has killed my self-esteem and has made me withdrawn from society. I have a hard time seeking gainful employment or form close relationships with people because of my lack of self-esteem caused by the circumcision.

The scar that circumscribes my penis is unsightly and is a result of an necessary medical procedure. Moreover, the bottom of my penis has extra bunched up skin that looks unsightly and disfiguring. Couple the disfigurement and lack sensation, and you can see how physiologically traumatized I am.

I was brutally tortured as I was circumcised without anesthetic as an Infant.

I have never experienced an orgasm via vaginal intercourse as a result of Rose De Lima Hospital brutally circumcising me as an Infant.

I am in a constant state of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. I experience nightmares weekly in which I and or Baby Boys are circumcised.

The United States has allowed/promoted the circumcision of Baby Boys and Minors, honoring all others except the Rights of the Child and his Autonomy, His right to genital integrity.

I am on a mission to expose all circumcisers and their agendas.

Some years ago, death by hanging was instituted. I sincerely wish to see all circumcisers of all backgrounds hung until death. I write with complete sanity of mind.

My first circumcision was considered 'incomplete', I feel that it was botched. I have a memory of waking up in the middle of the procedure and seeing/hearing my skin being cut, which haunts me to this day. Seeing any sharp objects makes me uneasy due to that.
I have indefinite discomfort and pain from the procedure dating to today (I am now 24). Sex can be rather painful and my skin is very sensitive to the point of being uncomfortable most of the time.

Psychological trama and feelings of violation from the permanent damage resulting from my circumcision. Had I been raped by my local priest in the catholic church and subject to fallatio and/or some form of sodomy, the damage would not have been permanent physical damage and I'd have a claim against the church. I have both permanent physical damage and mental distress as the result of circumcision.

Shortly after I was born I was circumcised for non-theraputic reasons by doctors who ignored the fact my mothers was legally mentally retarded. When I discovered that I was circumcised at age 12 it caused immediate mental harm that has only gotten worse over time, also masturbating and having sex does not given any pleasure except when I orgasm.

I am angry like I have never felt before about anything in my entire life that this was done to me. I feel personally violated and sometimes the depression this has caused me is overwhelming to the point where I can't sleep or concentrate on my work. No longer can I look at or feel anything in my own penis without thinking of it as mutilated, unnatural, disfigured, incomplete etc. I did not consent to having my prepuce (foreskin) unnecessary removed and I would not have consented had it been my choice. This is going to affect me for the rest of my life and I want compensation for the damage that has been done to me (both physical and emotional).

When I was an infant and defenseless, I was subjected to a medically unnecessary surgery without anesthetic.

It is a crime to pull out an infant's fingernails without a good medical reason. It does not matter if you use sterilized instruments and antiseptics to do so safely. It is also a crime to defile an infant's sex organs in any way, even if you cause no injury. In either case, it does not matter that the infant will not consciously remember what was done to him when he grows up -- it's still a crime.

However, for some unfathomable reason, it is not a crime to injure a male infant's genitalia in a surgical procedure that is every bit as painful as having one's fingernails ripped out, and which leaves his genitalia permanently damaged in such a way as to permanently impede its natural function.

This senseless mutilation of infants must be stopped, and the individuals who perform such procedures must be made to pay for their crimes.

my son was circumcised, and it went wrong and I was told his skin would grow over the wound. I also never gave consent for him to be circumcised. I may be reached at 904-554-2537, marvin

I grew up feeling deformed and afraid of girls, simply because I had a rather large skin bridge due to a botched circumcision. Constantly afraid to get intimate with women because they would see my deformity and laugh at me. I finally had the guts at 21 to show my father , of which freaked out and my parents immediately took me to the Dr to have it fixed. I had a recircumcision which now leaves me with a flap of skin on my penis. Dr called it a "natural french tickler and the women will love it" I did not agree.

Day after surgery was spent sleeping 23 out of 24 hours because of the pain pills. I quit taking them and the next way woke up with an erection that tore all the stitches. Scared me to death!

Eventually it all healed and I met my wife. However, I can never use condoms because orgasm is impossible. It takes me about an hour to achieve orgasm if not longer. Masturbation is at LEAST 30 minutes to achieve anything.

I still feel deformed and I'm now 31 years old and still can't achieve orgasm about half the time during sex.

Lifelong sexual dysfunction, difficulty reaching orgasm, anxiety - due to feelings of being trapped and then traumatized have developed into social phobia and depression.

Besides the obvious way in which circumcision removes the foreskin and it's 20,000 nerve endings, I also believe I was the victim of a botched circumcision.

Measuring on the left side of the shaft, from the base to just under the left side of the glans compared to measuring on the right side of the shaft, from the base to just under the right side of the glans, I am 5/8" shorter on the right side.

Taking a circumference measurement at the base, or mid-shaft I am approximately 5" in circumference. Taking a circumference measurement just under the edge of the glans, I am 3 3/4" in circumference.

I believe the doctor who performed the procedure on me cut into the right corpus cavernosa resulting in significant scarring which prevented my right corpus cavernosa from growing normally and fully expanding like it should and as a result I have a significant decrease in girth after the circumcision line as well as diminished length.

I have not yet obtained the medical opinion of a urologist on my abnormality nor have I yet obtained the medical records of my birth and circumcision from Middlesex Hospital where I was born.

My parents gave permission for my circumcision.

I have limited feeling to where I can't orgasm often, discomfort, penoscotal webbing, it doesn't look good, and it wasn't the doctor's or anybody else's penis to cut.

A part of my penis was removed against my will by a doctor who swore to "first do no harm". I will never know sexual perceptions exactly as nature intended. My penis chafes against clothing rather than being encased in a protective double layer of skin. Lubrication and anti-bacterial agent producing glands will never function.

The action done to me was without my consent nor did I agree to it. and was not medically necessary. Every day I suffer the consequences of this unecessary surgery. Physically everday when I use the bathroom I am reminded what was once there. I am also claiming mental stress as well due to this circumcision. I have become seriously depressed due to this as well and think about this on a daily basis. I claim damages of $1 million for pain and suffering due to my unecessary circumcision.

I was circumcised without my knowledge or consent as an infant. I am now beginning to learn the facts about what was destroyed without any valid medical indication or justification. "There are no valid medical indications for circumcision in the neonatal period." American Academy of Pediatrics, 1971. I am at this moment attempting a non-surgical stretching technique that will restore the foreskin to a certain extent and allow the glans to be covered which I'm hoping will improve it's sensitivity, but even this cannot entirely restore what was lost, particularly the nerve endings of my foreskin are gone forever. And it will take several months to be complete.

Physically I have lost an important part of my sexual response and sexual sensation. I will never be able to feel the complete sensations normal to sex because someone removed an organ critical to that experience. Emotionally I am outraged that someone would take this from me for no good medical reason whatsoever. Every time I look at my penis I am again reminded of the fact that a part of it has been chopped off. Do I not even have the right to decide what is done with my own body? This practice (circumcision) is barbaric and needs to end!

Lifelong sexual disfunction, difficulty reaching orgasm, unnaturally scarred, nerve and tissue damage, normal & beneficial body part removed without consent.

Harry Medovy of Winnipeg did this to me in 1954. I hold him, the hospital he worked for and the Canadian government responsible for not protecting my human right to my whole body, and my whole natural genitals.

No consent was asked for or given by me or my parents. I am now 65 years old and I'm learning the facts about what was destroyed without any valid medical indication or justification. "There are no valid medical indications for circumcision in the neonatal period." American Academy of Pediatrics, 1971. Since the doctor who circumcised me is now long dead and gone, I ask that the AAP and American Medical Association be held responsible for my unnecessary genital mutilation and be required to pay me for the damages and losses and physical, mental and emotional suffering I have undergone because of their negligence and active advocacy of and participation in the heinous sex crimes and permanent genital mutilation they helped commit against me.

i feel my sexual activity is not as enjoyable because of loss of sensation due to circumcision performed without my consent. The loss of nerve endings removed during my circumcision lessens the quality of my sexual activity and sensation.

It is a horrible feeling to know that your body has been permanently scarred for as long as you can remember, and that it will never fully recover, no matter what you do. I can think of nothing that better matches the description "cruel and unusual" than strapping a baby boy to a table and forcibly removing part of his penis and then never even telling him a word about it, leaving him to piece together the truth about what happened to him many years later. I don't really want to sue to make money -- there is no sum of money that can undo the damage I have suffered, both physical and emotional. I just want to do everything I can to make sure that this never happens to anyone else.

Any man that was circumcised is due reparations for the lost sexual functioning he inevitably suffered since circumcision removes the most sensitive part of the penis.

The suffering is daily and has effected my life unduly with wanton disregaurd to my liberty interest rights to my freedom . This is my constitutional right and it has been vioated by self serving butchers who make a fee and benefit from the act of butchering unsuspecting children. This is a crime already and no one is filing charges as victems as they are minors and do not know better.

Healing should be a service. The AMA, a professional labor union, has pushed medicine as a commercial venture, a greedy, vulturous business. As a result, medicine reinvented a bizarre, rare, social custom found only in the farthest reaches of the Australian outback, the African jungle, Arab people and Jews -- as a routine medical procedure performed on non-consenting infants at birth, which was and still is being sold to parents with the flimsiest of excuses: to look like dad, to fit in, to avoid teasing in the locker room, etc... and the AMA and its minions have willfully ignored the weakness of the 'research' that was used to justify this abusive practice. Only six men in 10,000 are circumcised in Europe for legitimate medical need.

If the AMA had focused its efforts on healing and serving, and if the US government had protected its very young citizens, neither would have ever allowed genital mutilation of any US citizen and I would not have had a vulvectomy, including a clitoridectomy in the 1950s in Kansas. My story can be read in the book, "The Rape of Innocence."

I have had lifelong PTSD. I know other women and men who also have been circumcised and who have PTSD. Our lives have been seriously affected by the practice of genital cutting. One surgeon said that clitoridectomy used to be 'big business'. Circumcision still is. Anything for a buck.

Well, it's time that the doctors paid us all back. They can reimburse us all and pay damages to us all, but I don't think they can ever replace the quality of life that was lost. So many years of anger and frustration, so many broken families and ruined relationships, so much loneliness... I think money may not be enough of a penalty for the ruination they have wrought.

The USA and the AMA have long been derelict in their duty to protect children who could not speak up for themselves -- and they still are derelict in their duty to protect their youngest and most vulnerable citizens. FGM has been illegal in the USA only since 1996. That law should protect all Americans, not just females. The medical system is out of control. It polices itself as well as a kid watching the candy jar.

The emotional trauma that I have experienced due to this barbaric act of sexual abuse has effected me my whole life and will continue to effect me for the rest of my life. It goes against my personal beliefs and is a grossly unnatural act of violence.

I was circumcised shortly after birth (4/1/1981) without legitamate cause, my genitals are permanantly disfigured and scarred and I was denied vital compenents of my sexual organs for life by an unscrupulous, arcane, non-medical procedure sanctioned by the AMA.

My parents were misled and misinformed by hospital staffers. When I confronted my mother about it she told me she was not even given a choice, the doctor just did it, because "that is what people did."

This practice must be made illegal for the safety and wholeness of our infant sons. So generations more men are not mutilated by hospitals and doctors.

My mother made the decision to have me circumcised against my will shortly after birth. The doctors fed lies to my mother about the procedure and though I don't remember it, I went through excruciating pain.

MUTILATED AT WINNIPEG GENERAL HOSPITAL
EMAIL ME AT _____________

I was circumcised at birth. At the age of 22 I learned about what circumcision is and asked my mother and father about mine. My dad never knew anything about it and just thought it was "what you do". My mother asked the pediatrician before I was cut "what is the purpose", "is it necessary", "does the foreskin have any purpose" and the doctor simply told her "no". He said "the foreskin is useless and will only cause him problems". So like any good mother she had me cut because she thought it was the right thing to do. Now that I have educated myself on this subject and have enlightened my parents both of them feel terrible about it. My mother has even cried over it. My purpose in all of this was not at all to upset or blame my parents. They did what they were told to do by my pediatrician. My purpose is to fight back at the one who harmed me, harmed my whole family. I want to fight back at the doctors who lied to my parents and to millions of parents across this country. Circumcision should be outlawed. As a result I am not normal now. I long for my missing foreskin. Laugh all you want but to me its serious. I have mental disstress from this. I call my circumcision scar the "scar of shame". I am embarrassed that I am cut, I feel like less of a man. A piece of me is missing, I am not happy about this. Why couldn't I have just been left alone??? I want what was taken from me at birth against my will. My penis is smaller, has drastically less sensativity and it is uncomfortable. All day long the head of my penis rubs on my underwear and it hurts. Why was this done again??? What are the benefits??? Also its interesting that I have had 3 UTI's in my life and i'm circumcised. I am a very clean person, I shower twice a day. I'm not seeing any of the so called benefits from being cut.

The Medical Community has not provided parents with the information needed to make an informed decison regarding whether or not to circumsize their children. They consistently minimize the value of the foreskin and its contribution to sexual function and protection against disease. They isolate and emphasize minor benefits and personal preferences. They do NOT act in the best interests of the child.

Because of this biased information from the medical community, my parents made the UNINFORMED decision to circumsize me as an infant. Further I was not given the chance to make this decision as an informed adult.

I believe that if my parents had been informed of the trade offs in an objective and unbiased way, they would have chosen to leave my foreskin intact, as evidenced by the fact that my younger brother was not circumsized at birth.

I have now found, through foreskin restoration, that my sexual function and satisfaction were dramaticaly harmed by circumcision. And that there was no medical disease or condition that would have outweighed this loss of function and satisfaction.

As a result, the first 30 years of my sexual experiences were significantly impaired by the medical community and I seek compensation for that harm to me.

I'm a 35 y/o male with a lifetime disfiguration as a result of circumcision as a child. My penis is inverted inside my body and as a result have faced a lot of distress emotionally and socially. It has effected my life negativly in so many ways, love life, school to where I missed years worth of school because i was ashamed of my disfigurment to avoid manditory showering with my peers. I would like to sue on behalf of the reckless surgery and outcome that the performing doctor put me through, to make sure that no one has to go through what i've gone through.

I resent the fact that my parents made the decision to mutilate my penis. I was circumcised twice, once as an infant and once at the age of 10 or 11. I remember the 2nd time and it is not something I would put anyone through. The damage is they removed too much skin from my shaft and now erections and intercourse are painful unless I use a lube.

Shortly after I was born in Louisville KY. I was circumcised. I did not give consent for this unecessary disfiguring procedure and am angry to this day that the doctors felt the need to mutilate my penis without my consent.

I have no information on the Doctor who performed the "surgery" that mutilated my penis in 1968. I don't if there is a public record of the event at all. I imagine I have to make a public records search in New York City to determine that. If the Doctor is not alive, do I have recourse to sue the hospital or the city or state of New York?

It hurts to think that at this moment some poor boy is going through this inhumane act of abuse. Shame on you people who let this continue.

When I was born a little over 31 years ago in January 1977. I was unnecessarily circumcised by a doctor whom never gave informed consent nor received any written/verbal consent from my mother who was single at the time. He took advantage of my mother's ignorance. The doctor basically said "it was the thing to do" back then. These doctors have motivation to perform these surgeries because it benefits them financial, while the helpless infant has no say what happens to his penis. I am totally outraged by these atrocities performed on little boys while it's against the law to remove the clitoral hood on females. Imagine what the clitoris would look like after years of being exposed to the elements.

My penis has suffered the ill effects not having a foreskin to protect the glans. It has become keratinization being exposed to the elements for 31 plus years.

Thank You

Even though I have not been attacked with a knife on my penis when I was a helpless child, I am feeling violated by the fact that this injustice and brutal rape of little boys in the U.S. and children across this world is still being allowed and ignored by the government and the law makers. Watching a circumcision on a video and on photos made me very angry and sick in my stomach. It made me want to chop those bastards’ hands off. I propose that anybody who sticks knives into children’s genitals shall be punished with prison for life if they don’t drop their knives and torture clamps in spite of this global awakening so this brutal form of slavery will come to an end now.

I was genitally mutilated without any medical need or consent. As an adoptee, I didn't even have parents to consent on my behalf!

I was born at Rochester General Hospital (1600 Portland Ave, Rochester, NY) in 1966.

Not a day goes by without me seeing the damage done to my person. I have spent thousands of dollars and countless days of deep depression due to my circumcision.

It has caused many problems with establishing trust with others, as well as prevented me from leading a normal sex life. I remain a single man at almost 42 years old with more baggage than anyone care to deal with... all thanks to a "little snip."

I'd like to harm the people that caused me the pain and suffering I've endured for so long. If I can't have my 'original equipment' back, I should at least be comfortable with compesation and the knowledge that EVERY surgon that commits this unjust procedure on any unconcenting person will pay the price.

Loss of a protective body part has caused me pain for over 30 years.

I am not circumcised but I don't like when the boys are circumcised I do feel sorry for them.

Doctors have an ethical requirement to do no harm. My most sensitive organ was modified without my consent at a very young age to become one of my least sensitive organs. I now attend a high school in which all of my friends are uncircumcised and it has caused me extreme emotional trauma and further mutilation (although to success ) of my genitals in attempt to reverse the subtraction and damage.

I lost the full sexual satisfaction I would have otherwise been able to obtain due to my circumcision as an infant boy under age one. Part of my male anatomy was removed without my lawful consent. My body was violated without my consent. I am age 44 and umarried without children. This circumcision has impaired my social life thus and has made me unable to reproduce.

I was circumcised as an infant, at an age where I was unable to speak for myself. There was no reason to do it, either. I guess my parents believed in the old myth that it makes it cleaner. But at what cost? It bothers me to know that I do not have an intact penis. I actually think about it quite often. As a result of this, I am brutally offended and traumatized whenever I see male genital integrity violated in the media. I know that sex for me will never be as satisfying as it would be for an uncircumcised man. I also know that sex will never be as satisfying for my partners either, because the foreskin serves as a gliding mechanism that makes sex better for women. I wish I could have mine back, but sadly that's impossible. It's gone, and I'm left to feel like a fraction of a man for the rest of my life.

The doctor who circumcised me has been described by other doctors as "incompetent". I knew as a 3 or 4 year old that my penis did not look like those of my brothers. I have had
fine touch sensitivity testing on my penis and there was less sensitivity than those of most circumcised men.

Even if the circumcision had been done
properly, knowing what I now know about
foreskin and circumcision, I would never have consented to a circumcision
without an absolute medical emergency.

Female genital cutting on minors is illeagal in the USA, but male genital cutting on minors is perfectly legal.
Why aren't all infants afforded the same protection under the law against unnecessary forced genital cutting?

I will always be an easy mark for the jailers of the world. why? because my first sexual experience was bloody, violent and shaming. yet the society i live in requires that i bury the memory of this experience deep, or else. circumcision is the soul-killing experience and the penitentiaries of this country are filled with sweet baby boys who were betrayed and humiliated by those who should have known the consequences. no wonder we live in such a violent country. please e-mail or phone. 707 293-0863. dr. ragan of oak ridge hospital in tennessee is long gone but i struggle to keep up the will to live every single day.

Dr. Robert Landgraff circumcised me for no reason in Niles, Michigan in 1962. I was healthy and normal and he amputated a valuable body part. Sex feels dull as a result.

I hold culpable Dr. Landgraf and any doctor who was in a position to formulate a sane policy statement that should have discouraged warrantless surgery on unconsenting minors, and also the insurance company who paid for a destructive amputation.

Nobody consented to my circumcision, my brother's or my 2 cousins. We were all born before the 1973 court decision. My uncle and aunt specifically told the doctor not to circumcise my cousins and they were circumcised anyway. My uncle still gets very angry about this if it is mentioned. The same doctor delivered my brother and me so I have no doubt there was no consent given

I was circumcised without my consent as an infant. I have been physically and emotionally damaged because of this. On the physical level, I have lost an important part of my sexual response and sexual sensation. I will never be able to feel the complete and normal feeling of sex because someone removed an organ critical to that normal experience. On an emotional level, I feel violated—I feel raped. Whenever I look at my penis I am again reminded of the violence forced upon me.

i was genitally mutilated without any form of medical need nor did i offer any form of consent. when i found out this was done to me a couple of years ago i was devastated. i felt (and still feel) as though i don't own a single thing in this world because the one thing that i thought i could always consider mine (my body) was mutilated for absolutely no reason... and my opinion on the matter was never considered.
like too many other people in the world i was never asked or even informed what was going to be done to me. i feel as though this is a very obvious violation of human rights but nobody seems to care, as if my thoughts/ideas don't matter in any way even though my body is the one in question (for the surgery that is).
i'm reminded every single day that my body in no way belongs to be, i believe i should get some sort of compensation for that. how can such a terrible and barbaric practice continue in the US? how can so many people be forced into cosmetic surgery and seem to not be effected by it in any way? i'm unable to answer these questions because people really should be bothered by this and the government should have taken action on this terrible thing many years ago.

Shortly after I was born in 1968, I was circumcised. This action, based on evidence of human physiology gleaned from research, substantially reduced the sensitivity and responsiveness of my reproductive organs and rendered important parts of their functioning inoperative, resulting in a substantial diminshment of my quality of life and having had negative psychological effects that were entirely avoidable.

The action was done without my consent and absent medical necessity. Since it resulted in permanent disfiguring and functional impairment of an important part of my body, its execution exceeded the rights of my parents to mandate the process, lawful though it was at the time and remains so, and requested nonetheless in good faith by them.

The actual agent of action, the hospital in question (_____), however, undertook this procedure without disclosing the nature and impact of this procedure to my parents. In addition, its behavior with regard to the procedure was reckless, also with a state of negligent indifference being present, together constituting an action and that is, absent redress in criminal courts, nonetheless subject to redress in a civil one.

I claim damages of $10 million for pain and suffering compensation due to the injuries herein described.
