Are Intactivists against medical circumcision?
A. No, not circumcision that really is medically necessary, as a last resort after non-surgical or other surgical methods have been tried and failed. That is very rare. The trouble in circumcising cultures is that doctors are unfamiliar with the care of the intact penis, and circumcision is the only treatment they know. Medical texts may even be silent about the existence of the foreskin! Misguided attempts to clean under a foreskin that is not ready to retract may even cause the infections they then claim makes circumcision necessary.
