OUR OBJECTIVE
The participants of Intact America’s Skin in the Game campaign know that by sharing their stories, they may contribute to circumcision’s permanent discontinuance. New stories are published from the varying perspectives of circumcised men, intact men, regretful parents, intactivists, medical insiders, queer individuals, and impacted partners. The Skin in the Game Voices series explores topics related to circumcision complications, psychological trauma, sexual dysfunction, ethical opposition, parental regret, relationships, ethnicity, and more.
Do you have some skin in the game? Have your circumcision impact story told by emailing us at voices@intactamerica.org.
