ORIGINAL: LadyEllen The problem mist, is that its illegal (in the UK anyway), and GPs would be obliged to report it, even given patient confidentiality, as its an offence. Same as they have to for gunshot/knife wounds, self harm/suicide risk, drug abuse etc. as far as I understand it; put it this way, when I was suicidal 5 years ago, the only person I talked to was my GP, and yet the following day the police were there to revoke my shotgun license and remove the weapon from me. Any gyne exam could reveal what had been done - cervical smears being the most common I'd guess, and then there would be questions asked that would no doubt result in a visit from the police. The person who did it would then be in a heap of trouble, whether or not there was consent (its not legally possible to consent to an offence). The risk of this might then mean that the woman was not permitted GP and especially gyne examinations, which could result in a whole heap of other problems before the discovery was made of the circumcision, much later. Its not like other types of mortification/modification, in that it is governed by a specific law. E You raise a valid point, I think that from the legal perspective you are totally right, it is something that is completly and utterly outlawed, my issureis not really even with this particular fetish, it's with the instant outcry of urrghhh, sick,,, wrong,,,perverse etc that sprung up. I just think sometimes it is forgotten that none of us are in a position to judge anothers kink
