Subincision
Subincision is a form of
body modification involving the splitting of the underside of the
penis, from urethral opening to base. In this case the subincision is partial, however some people split the top of the penis as well, sometimes resulting in total
bifurcation. Subincision was traditionally performed by
Australian Aborigines as a rite of passage. Subincision greatly affects
urination and normally requires the subincised male to sit while urinating. Advantages of subincision include greater sensitivity and the effect of increased width. Disadvantages include (obviously) the risk of
surgery and increased susceptibility of
STDss. The ability to impregnate (specifically, getting
sperm into the
vagina) may also be decreased. Subincisions heal quickly—usually within 4 weeks.
