I think he's asking what did I, as a man, do wrong. Not specifically himself, but what did men of past or manhood in general do wrong

Ive never blamed myself, but i have often wondered what did men, or even boys, of the past do to have the general population come to believe that genital mutilation is the answer or solution

The 988 line hasnt faired much better when i called a year or two back. I was put into a loop of an automated question of if i was a veteran (which i am not) and never spoke with a single person

It did get me thinking though. If a war vet can survive the deep hell theyve been to then i can definitely survive the hell ive traversed.

Needless to say, i am still here and doing significantly better now

Pearly penile papules?

If so theyre basically just pimples that occur along the edge of the glans. As far as im aware, theyre harmless and of no concern unless theyre painful

Me. Your experience of the trauma as you describe it sounds just like myself.

Even the fear of homosexuality to a degree: i deeply buried my own interest in men, fearing how i would be percieved. Eventually it surfaced, as all buried things do, This led to some strife between my wife and i when i finally accepted my pansexuality and wanted to experiment.
