Yes, circumcision at a mature age is tough.  (at least this is what I've
been told).  My ex-boss had one at 35 and was in agony for weeks.

Since the clitoris is sometimes equated with a penis (both grow and
shrink, both have abnormally high sensitivity to stimulus), imagine
a woman having even the outside removed.  Must be as bad as a
circumcision for a mature male.  And since it seems that some cliterectomies
are done on female around age 12......
