The 1 in 10 men is just what the doctor told me and always stuck with me for some reason (though I think its more common then we think). It comes in all forms of severity and other treatments depend on a number of factors. This thread was more about the language used :)

I think the term "mutilation" applies when it's done without consent, and without any medical justifications.
If it doesn't have those two aspects involved, then the term mutilation is a bit extreme...Particularly in cases where it's a partial excision.
It's just another form of body modification.

However, it really is mutilation if it's done just
"because (insert entity of comparison here) had it done"
Or
"won't he stick out too much with a foreskin"
Or
"my religion states the foreskin is an atrocity/circumcision is a sign of the pact"

What you experienced was medically justified

Although, as I lack context, the justification could have been weak, since unless the Phimosis is causing pain during erections, during sex, or is otherwise directly contributing to a systemic infection like Balantis, or has resulted in partial or complete paraphimosis...surgery is still a bit much.

Not the same as mutilation though, since it was done in good faith, if a bit misinformed, and not entirely without consent... Consent is important, and that is what is lacking most of the time. Particularly Informed Consent.

I view mine as mutilated, because I had no say in the matter.

However, I don't let it affect me, since it's not something I Can actively change currently... But possibly in the future with Foregen, I can regain what has been stolen.

Circumcision also comes with more risks than leaving Phimosis alone when it doesn't have the above issues present...
