A low circumcision is looser then a high circumcision

The high/low parameter is a way of stating what is removed. The loose/tight parameter is a way of stating how much is removed. These variables are almost totally independent, hence there are four extremes:

  • Low and Loose
  • Low and Tight
  • High and Loose
  • High and Tight

and an infinite number of possibilities in-between.

The terms Loose and Tight are fairly self-explanatory, but a frequently-asked question is "What's meant by 'High' and 'Low'? Where does the nomenclature come from?"

The answer is simple. Imagine two circumcised men of the same stature standing alongside each other, both flaccid. One has a circumcision style that retained inner foreskin (the 'high' style) whilst the other has a circumcision style that removed inner foreskin (the 'low' style). The circumcision scar line of the man with the high style will be part-way up his penis whereas the circumcision scar line of the man with the low style will be close to the rim of his glans. The scar line of the man with the high style will therefore be higher off the ground than the scar line of the man with the low style; that scar will be closer to the ground and therefore lower. Hence "high" and "low".

What is the level of acceptability of safe male circumcision among spouses?

I would say very low except for those that have been misled about the reasoning behind it. In most of the world circumcision is seen as a marcabre and savage thing to do to a child. So when keeping in mind that circumcision is only inflicted on about 15% of the worlds children and that in the countrys where it is most prevalent women have no say in the procedure it would be very low. There is in fact no such thing as a safe circumcision> that is like saying safe amputation of healthy limbs. The result of circumcision is irreversible damage and in some cases death, In the USA more then 100 infants a year die as a result.
