Circumcision Scar is one of the most controversial books ever written. After suffering a trauma at age one, Jay experienced parallel memories that revealed he'd been in two separate hospital settings as an infant, and his distress over these conflicting memories caused his lifelong struggle. As an adult, Jay sought treatment for erectile dysfunction, only to be chased out of multiple doctors' offices, doctors who branded him immoral for suggesting circumcision is harmful. He ultimately endured two experimental surgeries to reverse the damage his circumcision caused. In his 50s, Jay realized his recurring nightmares were repressed memories of his neonatal circumcision, which became the impetus for this book. Jay passionately details his experiences with circumcision sexual trauma and exposes the shocking history behind how it became common in America. Listen to this blistering exposé into history's most loathed body part. Narrated by Jay Jackson Feldman, a.k.a. Jay J. Jackson.
