Hello. Thank you for asking this question.

I am a retired and 72 year old doctor with decades of experience in urology.

I will try keeping it simple:

Circumcision can be circumvented!

I lost many friends among my colleagues while exposing truths.

The vast majority of my patients with erectile complications and dysfunctions were circumcised. Foreskin can be stretched if it does not heal itself.

Stretching is always better than circumcision and must be attempted first!

If a doctor tells you that phimosis inevitably leads to circumcision, he is either inexpensive, or trying to fool you.

Below the infant’s age of eight years, a doctor should not be examining the need for circumcision by retracting the skin. There is an adhesion of the glans to the foreskin, and it should stay untouched.


I have actually performed circumcisions in my early career, but I regret it with all my heart today.

I was taught by my instructor that circumcision is healthy.

No matter how few people read this, before I die, I want the world to know that what I have done to these men still bothers me today, despite I earnt [unit converted to disguise country to protect my identity] $20000 monthly, of which 20% came from circumcisions. Life is not worth money.

I myself am also circumcised, so I did not know the importance of foreskin, but my son was left intact and told me how pleasureable foreskin is, and he said he can hit orgasms by moving only the foreskin.

My son had his first sexual experiences at age 14, and I am fine with that, because I have taught him at age 11 about sexuality, i.e. how to prevent STDs and using condoms.

He is now 33 years old.

Circumcision does not increase hygiene, nor does the circumcision scar and the exposed uretha protect anything at all and prevent infectious diseases.

Why are the USA full of diseases and need for viagra? Please, use common sense at least!

Please let mankind know the truth and share this to people who need it.
