Skin in the Game is a compelling storytelling campaign that uses photography and the emotional testimonials from people of all ages, genders, ethnicities, and sexual orientations who have been harmed by the senseless, medically unnecessary, and unethical practice of male child genital cutting (AKA circumcision).  

Skin in the Game puts a face to circumcision’s victims: men who live with scarred, desensitized penises, parents whose babies have had to live with damaged genitals, women who suffer through painful, dry sex, and lovers who will never experience sex the way nature intended.

Skin in the Game’s powerful photos and stories are available here.

DONOHARM.REPORT is a groundbreaking tool created to hold doctors and hospitals accountable for circumcision complications, foreskin harm, and aggressive circumcision solicitation. DoNoHarm.report is a free online reporting database that can easily be used to file complaints to medical facilities, state medical boards, and the medical professionals themselves who inflict damage on baby boys’ genitals. The database allows parents and guardians to:

(1) report incidents of circumcision harm to their babies, such as excessive bleeding, fever, infection, and physical complications;

(2) report whether doctors and nurses pressured them to have their sons circumcised; and

(3) report that their intact son was a victim of forcible foreskin retraction (FFR) by a medical professional, a practice that the American Academy of Pediatrics warns can cause severe pain, bleeding, and tears in the foreskin.

Each reported incident will be submitted to hospital management, respective state oversight agencies, the medical professional who perpetrated the harm, and the national Joint Commission. 

DoNoHarm.report will be rolled out in Spring 2024 in Georgia. Over time, Intact America will expand this groundbreaking reporting tool to every state and the District of Columbia.

Intact America’s work has unleashed a groundswell of people aching to tell their circumcision stories. We provide that outlet in our Voices blog posts. Voices features short essays written by men who have survived circumcision, regret moms who wish they had known better, human rights activists who stand up for the rights of the child, and other intactivists. We encourage you to put your skin in the game by telling your story, too.

Intact America conducts national surveys to measure public attitudes about circumcision and the foreskin, to quantify the damage caused by circumcision solicitation and forcible foreskin retraction, and other important issues. The surveys are administered by Qualtrics, a leading research organization widely used in academia and for consumer experience management.

Data collected through our surveys are used by Intact America to guide our campaign initiatives and measure the impact we are making with our work. Most notably, our frequent public opinion polls show that support for keeping boys intact has risen from 10 percent in 2010 to close to 25 percent in 2021. This proves that we are on the right track.

LGBTQA+ activists invited Intact America to participate in New York City Pride in 2006, and we have participated in Pride events ever since. (During the pandemic, we celebrated online at intact.gay.)  The intactivist and the LGBTQA+ movements have much in common. We fight for human rights and challenge practices and policies that inhibit sexual freedom.

Since merging with Genital Autonomy-America, Intact America has expanded its scope to continue organizing international conferences started by Marilyn Milos in 1989. Most recently, Intact America co-sponsored Intact 2022 in Atlanta, Georgia. The two-day event featured more than two dozen presenters and approximately 120 attendees. Such gatherings bring intactivists from around the world to present their work and catch up on the movement’s current progress and challenges.

Information on upcoming conferences will be available on our YouTube channel.

Intact America established Foreskin Day in 2023 to laud all things foreskin. A virtual celebration akin to 4/20, the cannabis holiday, Foreskin Day is observed on 4/4, the FOREth Day of April, the FOREth month of the year. The highlight of the day is a festive, streamed Foreskin Day program, featuring interviews, videos, all-original COCKtail recipes, and humorous musings about the male member.

Intact America has contracted with licensed therapists who work with men impacted by circumcision. We are preparing to offer free virtual monthly group sessions to Intact America Insiders [please hyperlink to that section on our donate page] (subscribed monthly donors).  At this time, groups will be available only to men, but as the program grows, we will consider similar counseling opportunities for all genders.
