Examples of Late Initiates from the Medical Studies
Osmond (86) "The ignorance of these young soldiers is remarkable; many of them
expressed surprise at the condition revealed when they retracted
their foreskins : some of them had apparently never done so in their
lives."
Alexander: "Patients with erectile
failure may have had the problem for many years prior to seeking
and obtaining treatments. Such patients may also have had, yet be
unaware of a mild but significant phimosis. (89).
Parkash S, et.al.: "Human subpreputial collection: its nature and
formation." J Urol 110(2), 211-212 (1973) (88) "Since most patients were unaware that the prepuce was retractable,
the history of phimosis often appeared to be from birth."
Saitmacher (30) "It was completely unknown to some of the examined boys that
the foreskin could be retracted."
The subconscious development: Dr. Hartmut Porst "it is not
uncommon,... that a phimosis is not at all consciously realised by
the carrier until the first act of love". (9).
The semi-conscious development: Grewel "When this important organ, this source of masculine pride, is menaced,
fear and anxiety arise. The "patients" are afraid to consult a doctor
and await with tense fear the further development of the trauma."

Sexual Dysfunction resulting from foreskin conditions
Ohjimi T and Ohjimi H. " ... phimosis, i.e., the condition in
which the prepuce is too long or too tightly covers the glans penis
and causes complications. This condition makes local hygiene difficult,
promotes secondary infection and purulence, retards maturation of
the penis, and leads to sexual dysfunction that is psychologically
and maritally distressing. ... the relief of phimosis, especially
for the sexual dysfunction that results from it."(92).
Alexander: "Patients with erectile
failure may have had the problem for many years prior to seeking
and obtaining treatments. Such patients may also have had, yet be
unaware of a mild but significant phimosis. (89).

Haller: " the ever recurring cases ... always complain that the
operation was neglected in childhood" (13).
Schoeberlein: "Most of the
examined men had no knowledge of the unhealthiness of this condition." (28).
