C'mon, you can do better than that. In normal circumstances (ie - not being in blinding pain) a newborn is certainly disoriented or uncomfortable. However, to say that bright lights and the cold are more distracting than getting your wang cut up just doesn't make sense.


no, what i was saying was that the whole experience is likely so traumatic that your infant brain is just not going to put too much stock in the pain of a circumcision, not even as part of the cumulative experience.

but that's just a hunch.

still, i agree. just not for the same reasons as you. you seem to think it's a savage invasion of the kid's person, i just think circumcision is stupid.
