Psychological Effects of Circumcision

Written by Robert Levy, MD, Phd at 09 Jan 2003 23:20:37:

I wish to gain some insight into the possibility that circumcisions performed on infants may have an effect later in life. I am currently treating a young man, aged 19, who was circumcised as an infant. Over the past several sessions it is becoming evident to me that the procedure has had a profound influence upon his behavior and feelings.

What I am asking is that anyone who might think he has also been affected to please share with me how you think it has. In order to maintain your privacy, I would ask that you answer here in the forum.
