A member asked:
Can circumcision traumatize a male? i'm referring to circumcision at birth, can a male at any age remember the horrible feeling from birth?

No: There are no data to suggest any infant ever remembers the procedure.Age regression studies under hypnosis seldom if ever bring a kid earlier than their late toddler stage for memory retreival.Modern circumcision techniques use local anesthesia and distraction measures for infant circumcision.Many sleep through the procedure.The older kid or adult, will remember the post op period as very unplesnt.

See below: The child does not have the ability to form memories from the birth year. This means there is little or no chance that there will be any trauma.
