The study was published in Journal of Sexual Medicine, Vol. 4 Issue 3, Pages 667 - 674, May 2007. The researchers had 20 intact men and 20 circumcised men watch erotic films before they were tested for touch sensitivity. The researchers tested a spot on the glans, the penile shaft, and the forearm of each subject. The researchers found no significant difference in glans sensitivity between the subjects. Surprisingly, the intact men were less sensitive to touch on the forearm than the circumcised men.

In France, Germany, and the Netherlands, two things create greater, easier access to sexual health information and services for all people, including teens. They are: 1) societal openness and comfort in dealing with sexuality, including teen sexuality; and 2) pragmatic governmental policies. The result - better sexual health outcomes for French, German, and Dutch teens when compared to U.S. teens.

HAARETZ.com reports in a 2008 article that traditional circumcision results in an increased rate of urinary tract infections (UTIs) for male infants. "Circumcision as performed by mohels, men whose profession is performing the Jewish ritual of brit milah, leads to a high rate of urinary tract infections among babies, according to a report released recently by physicians at Schneider Children's Medical Center in Petah Tikva."

The article reports that the researchers "found urinary tract infections to be far more common among babies who had undergone circumcision by a mohel rather than a physician." One researcher said, "Without appropriate and intensive treatment, the bacteria could reach the blood, possibly even causing death." The researchers believe the infections are caused by the bandage left on the penis after circumcision.

Catholics Against Circumcision respects the bodily integrity rights of male and female children.  Children have a right to be free from unnecessary amputations (circumcision or genital mutilation) that cause pain, trauma, scarring, and loss to their perfect bodies. New Testament Scriptures teach us that the Old Testament Law that required circumcision was rescinded after the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
