Yes, getting circumcised hurts. Circumcision in boys and adults has a very painful two to three week recovery period following the surgery. Even in the best recovery, you can expect severe pain, especially if you happen to get an erection any time in the first two weeks.

Newborn infants are circumcised without anesthesia. During the surgery they are strapped down to a special table, and without any numbing or anesthesia, the foreskin is cut off. Newborn infants have full sensation, just like adults. Circumcision, like any surgery, also has risks of adverse medical events including surgical error, infection, prolonged bleeding, and of course severe pain.
