Pain to Newborns Causes Lasting Effects as Children/Adults

[Majestic Maleness]

As a small child, I was terrified of anything to do with needles. I also remember being terrified of a Halloween prop in a mall walk-through that was a circling blade cutting a person in half. Through my own research, I've concluded that it was post-traumatic stress syndrome. It was easier to come to this conclusion after I was able to remember my trauma of a suppressed memory through a dream, waking up in a panic. This was right after I researched circ, and unlocked the memory.

i was not cut at birth, but when i was 4 i have had nightmares ever since. after i started learning about circumcision the nightmares have been getting worse. so i sought counseling. and my counselor basically told me to slow or stop my research and to instead improve my social life.

and a few days ago at work i saw a doctor dressed. in his blue green scrubs. walks by and my stress level went from about 2-3 right to 9+. i almost freaked out. that has not happened for a long time. i have trained to control my emotions. but this just ripped right through.

I agree with you. I think there is a direct correlation in our society between the rise in violence & violent crimes and rise in circumcision rates. I believe men circumcised as infants and children have had their emotional bodies damaged by the pain of circumcision.

I have no proof of this, but it is a belief i have held for sometime.

I absolutely hate needles, and I feel sick to even think about getting blood drawn. In fact, I feel sick just being in a doctor's office, even without needles.

I'm diabetic. I have no problems with needles. I stab myself at least 4 times a day and have blood drawn 4 times a year. I hate doctors too though. I'm not afraid of them it's just a waste of time for me to go sit in a waiting room for 45 minutes to talk with a guy for five and have him tell me everything is fine. I've never been afraid of pain. I actually get a sick sort of satisfaction from it. So I don't think getting cut caused me any of the psychological damage that you are talking about. All the psychological trauma I have from it after I found out about circumcision.

I do agree that circumcision has something to do with the rise in crime and violence though.

WTF? Can you explain this? Is the rate of circumcision rising or falling?

Starboy28 said it was his belief and that he had no proof.
Starboy28 spoke his mind and that is his right.
Aussiebloke are you just trying to make people angry?

Aussiebloke when people speak here. they are able to talk about something. that normally would be seen as almost taboo. it takes courage to do that. so quite trying to make people angry.

I agree with Starboy28 that there is a very chance that there is a connection between genital mutilation and violence however I think it goes beyond that I believe there is a good chance that genital mutilation also increase the risk for such things as self mutilation, depression, trust issues and so on.

You raised some excellent points to ponder Aspie. I do agree with you.
