circumcision:
breaking the silence
An Evening Talk by
Ronald Goldman, Ph.D.
Executive Director of the Circumcision Resource Center
Audio Cassette Tape with Illustrations
Do you know what impact circumcision has on men and
male/female relationships? Results of the latest research
are causing a closer look at this common, yet disregarded
practice. A growing number of circumcised men are breaking
the silence and expressing concerns about their own
circumcision. What they have to say needs to be taken
seriously. Some men have discovered a connection between
their circumcision and adult feelings related to sexuality,
women, self-esteem, and other issues. We will discuss
exactly what circumcision is, short and long-term effects,
psychological impacts on individuals and society, and
healing approaches. This talk will be of particular interest
to those who work with men's issues, women who want to
understand men better, and men who have issues relating to
their sexuality. Circumcision may be the missing piece of
the American male psychological puzzle.

THE
PSYCHOLOGICAL IMPACT OF CIRCUMCISION
Ronald Goldman
This journal article reports
that circumcision results in behavioral changes in infants
and long-term unrecognized psychological effects on men. The
piece reviews the medical literature on infants' responses
to circumcision and concludes, "there is strong
evidence that circumcision is overwhelmingly painful and
traumatic." The article notes that infants exhibit
behavioral changes after circumcision, and some men have
strong feelings of anger, shame, distrust, and grief about
having been circumcised. In addition, circumcision has been
shown to disrupt the mother-infant bond, and some mothers
report significant distress after allowing their son to be
circumcised. The motivation to circumcise and religious circumcision are also discussed.
