Subincision
Subincision is a form of body modification involving the splitting of the underside of the penis, from urethral opening (meatus) to base. 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, though the scrotum can be pulled up against the open urethra to quasi-complete the tube and allow "normal" urination. Advantages of subincision include greater sensitivity and the effect of increased width. Disadvantages include the risk of surgery, which is often self-performed, and increased susceptibility to STDss. The ability to impregnate (specifically, getting sperm into the vagina) may also be decreased. Subincisions heal quickly—usually within 4 weeks.
