This barbaric custom is usually performed to babies. Does it hurt? I expect it is traumatizing to the max. There is no medical reason to do it, only cultural. I have read that a circumsized penis is actually more sensitive than a 'natural' one, and this has been cited as one of the reasons the American male's longevity during sex averages only 3 minutes. Disgraceful! RR (circumsized, but way past the 3 minute mark)
