Circumcision - its effects

[Dragon]

With no_escapes permission I've moved this out of another thread to a thread of its own. 

Sounds awful. I was thinking about making a thread about circumcision. About two years ago I learned what it was and started researching obsessively (since I am circumcised, why did no one tell me what was done)? I've found a lot of interesting links about the possible psychological effects of it. There's no doubt it is extremely traumatic. I've tried watching videos of the procedure and it is unbearable to hear the screams of pain from the child, who is strapped down by his wrists and ankles to keep from struggling. I think it's very possible that it can cause PTSD. Here's all the links I've bookmarked about the psychology of it:

A man who's suffered nightmares all his life, attributes it to his circumcision. It sounds kind of similar to what you describe:

Also a Grief section of a message board for men who are trying to restore their foreskins:
