This week I have, by accident, virtually taken over another's thread called "Botched circumcision". I have apologized for that.
But I have written so much background that the latest posts in "Botched crcumcision" read like a biography. So I'm starting this thread and inviting anyone to join in with questions or histories about the psychological trauma associated with "repair" of an increasingly-occurring genital "birth defect" in boys.
I'm 69 years old, and have experienced virtually the whole modern history of medical attempts to "correct" the problem. The trauma, confusion, fear and self-loathing warped my childhood and young adulthood, and almost cost me my life several times. If you wonder what the possible causes are for some men's being "loners," "losers," or self-made "ouitcasts," I think I and others might have some answers. And many of us need those answers, spoken frankly.
The mental health community I know seems mostly ignorant on the import of the subject, and in some cases, I have had to painfully explain it to them. Millions of men and their families would know what I'm saying. Please refer first to "botched circumcision" for background if you are interested. Thanks, and be well.
