Explanation:
Parents face so many difficult decisions when it comes to having a child: decisions about nursing, sleep patterns, discipline, teaching methods and, in the case of boys, whether or not to circumcise. In addition to being the most common surgery for males in the U.S., circumcision has been practiced in various cultures for centuries.

Morris/Shoen stigmatic-eligibilic - 2?
Three forms of stigmatic-eligibilic are:
(1). "Acrotomophilia" - sexual arousal toward amputees, for partners missing limbs, aka: amputee fetishism.
This pertains to females toward circumcised males, yet also in parts of Islam by males with mutilated females.
(2). "Apotemnophilia" - the desire to acquire a disability, to be an amputee.
This is alo called "wannabeism" and "transability."
(3). "Transformation fetishism" - the desire for people who undergo a physical transformation usually from body modification.
Transformation is an essential step in ritual process and used by some in psychotherapy.
(And). Even though a person may not be actually sexually accessable the psychological component remains. The circumcised prepuce becomes a social token and often a personal psychological token. Certain types of serial sexual predators take tokens from their victims and use the tokens to re-experience the crime often with masturbation.
