A new study has suggested that surgery might not help much in stopping the locker-room teasing in school when the appearance of the penis is in question. Urologist conducted a study which shows that parents who had come to get their son circumcised or to remove the leftover skin form a circumcision, were often found to be worried that their son may be teased in because of the appearance of the penis in later life.
A survey was conducted and it was seen around 47% of men had seen others being teased about the appearance of their penis on a weekly basis. In fact, the size of the penis was the major reason for taunts and only one-third of the taunts were focused on having a ‘strange’ looking penis or circumcision.
There was no difference in the circumcised and the uncircumcised when the students were asked if they wished for a penis with a different appearance. Moreover, being circumcised did not increase the overall odds of being teased.
The question arises as to whether or not there was a difference after the surgery. The answer is that though some children benefitted from the surgery for a proper appearance of the penis, the main subject for being teased was size. The size, however, could not be fixed by surgery. Nonetheless, the result of the study is limited because only a single group of men had been surveyed. Ultimately, the decision to undergo a surgery to change the appearance of the penis is totally a judgmental call.
