Did you know amputated foreskins are sold to cos-
me c companies for $100,000, or that circumcision
was alleged to cure brain tumors? It also has a his-
tory of megalomania – doctors believed it would
cure black men of their predisposi on to be rapists,
and the more children they circumcised, the higher
they'd ascend to god.
Most parents circumcise their sons without giving it
a second thought. They have no clue what the risks
are because doctors never offer "informed consent"
- the legal obliga on to educate pa ents on the risks
and alleged benefits of any procedure so they under-
stand what's being asked of them.
Circumcision facts doctors never tell parents:
•Circumcision can permanently change your son's
temperament.
•Circumcision reduces penis sensi vity and causes
erec le dysfunc on.
•Circumcision can result in amputa on, disfigure-
ment, or death.
•Circumcision has no genuine health benefits.
America has one of the highest HIV rates in the world
despite circumcision.
•Your newborn son will be given an erec on to facili-
tate his circumcision.
Your body your choice - His body your preference?
Jay J. Jackson offers an unflinching glimpse into the
debilita ng mindset of circumcision related sexual
trauma - the same debilita ng mindset experienced
by all vic ms of sexual violence. He details his per-
sonal experiences with foreskin restora on, medical
abuse, and the shocking history behind how circum-
cision became commonplace in America.
