Is it true that circumcision causes erectile dysfunction in men?
No. A 2018 meta-analysis of 12 studies found erectile dysfunction favored circumcised men, and a systematic review of 40,473 men found circumcision does not adversely affect sexual function. A reference work states circumcision has no effect on erectile dysfunction, while one page reports self-selected complaints of erectile problems after circumcision.
