How Circumcision Affects Sexuality (Unedited Prerecorded Program) Circumcision is a primal wound that causes pain and trauma to an infant's penis - his organ of pleasure and procreation. Initially, circumcision interferes with the maternal-infant bond, disrupts breastfeeding and normal sleep patterns, and undermines the successful completion of the baby's first developmental task of establishing trust. Even when analgesia is used, circumcision causes pain to the penis, and every experience of that organ, from then on, is overlaid on a neuronal background of pain.
This workshop, led by Marilyn Milos, RN, Executive Director of NOCIRC, will explore the effects of circumcision on an infant and on the man he becomes. The dynamics of circumcision, sex, and compensation for the trauma and loss are discussed. One of six lectures in our The Intact Boy series. Click here to read more...
