Jewish Penis Envy: Definition.
(2)
Readers who are unfamiliar with 'phantom limb pain' can find the explanation in the link. But can the concept really be applied to infant foreskins? Isn't the previous post only a joke? After all, infants don't feel much pain, right? (Wrong!) And even if they do feel the pain of amputation they soon forget, right? (Wrong!) And in any case, by the time they can talk, they never describe penile pain (tap) in the absense of obvious trauma. Right? Right, but by then the pain has been psychologically 'internalized.' My conjecture is that the internalized pain (tap) memories surface later in life and take various forms, all loosely related. Examples could be as varied as, 'father insists that sons look like father 'down there.' (Probably the most common.) Others might become Mohels. Others might become 'pediatricians from hell' making tons of money from routine infant mutilation (circumcision). Others might only have 'negative feelings' in the presence of 'known Intacts.' I have called this kind of emotional response, 'Jewish Penis Envy.'
