[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 370714, member: 1963"] husband was circed due to religious reasons (He, like me, was raised Jewish). He resented the heck out of it, especially when he had to have surgery in his Army years to correct a "bent" penis that was due to his being poorly cut and and the subsequent formation of tight scar tissue. Basically, he had to be re-circ'ed and it's a painful surgery in an adult male. I would add that husband was not done at birth by a urologist. He was cut in the kitchen of his family's home, by a 'Mohel" (ritual circumciser), at 8 days of age. No anesthetics were used, an uncle had the "honor" of holding him during the procedure (I'm not sure of the Hebrew for this, but the man who presents the child to the Mohel is named as a sort of "godfather" at the same time as the baby boy gets his religious name. In later years, only ultra orthodox Jews still use non-medically trained mohels. Male converts in most branches under go a ritual "blood drawing" ritual where the foreskin is nicked just enough to draw blood. [/QUOTE]
