Vaginismus and other sexual pain disorders seem to be caused by circumcised penises:

A 5552 person study in Denmark:

Sexual function difficulties Sexual function difficulties were consistently more often reported by women with circumcised than uncircumcised spouses (Table 5). Sexual function difficulties overall, orgasm difficulties, lubrication insufficiency, dyspareunia and vaginismus were reported to have occurred either occasionally or frequently in the last year by 90, 77, 67, 46 and 9% of women with circumcised spouses as compared with 80, 69, 57, 27 and 4%, respectively, of women with uncircumcised spouses. Most notably, frequent sexual function difficulties overall (31 vs 22%, ORadj = 3.26; 95% CI 1.15–9.27), frequent orgasm difficulties (19 vs 14%, ORadj = 2.66; 95% CI 1.07–6.66) and frequent episodes of dyspareunia (12 vs 4%, ORadj = 8.45; 95% CI 3.01–23.74) were more common among women with circumcised spouses.
