They can't cry because they're already dead inside from having their genitals mutilated

Yeah. I remember that all I've thought about the last 25 years is how evil my parents were for circumcising me. I'm such a weak person who can't get over trivial things.

What's so hard about cleaning it. So stupid when people make that argument. Fucking clowns.

I'm very against circumcision. I can't wrap my mind around it.

You are cutting off a piece of a child's penis. One of the most sensitive parts. This goes on to have loss of pleasure. The cut part has nerve endings that feel good. You also don't need lube to masturbate when the skin is intact.

Also, we are so against female circumcision. And we should be. But people who are against that are for male mutilation? I don't get it. And don't tell me it isn't the same. Females can have their clitoral hood removes (not the whole citloris) which is a similar practise.

I have a theory it was a religious act to stop children from masturbating. But in 2017, it shouldn't be a thing.

Don't get me started on botched jobs. Even when not botches, the discoloration is off putting (but that's an opinion).

We need to stop this practise on small children. If you are an adult and want it done, no problem. All the power to you. But a boys penis should not be in the hands of others (literally and metaphorically).

I don't get this.

Penis skin is pulled back when hard. It looks the same, just a bit meatier around the base.

Skin doesn't cover the head. If it does, that's a problem.

Better than having to get it done in his late 20s

You know what's even better than that?

Just not cutting off a chunk of your dick for no reason.

in my opinion circumcision is a necessary evil. if he wasn't then then you would have to learn how and teach him how to clean his penis along with potty training and to me that just seems to much. then there is all the possible infections that can occur if he weren't cicumcised

Nah, he's gonna feel like a REAL man when he starts swimming in poon

Congrats for son!

Still, even with all this you did the right thing imo. Foreskin is disgusting, and it might be much harder (mentally) to go through with it when older, and scarier too.

Lmao. Have none of you seen the procedure? Babies cry like crazy.

My dad had my oldest brother circumcised. He felt so bad he didn't get me or our middle brother done either.

In an ironic twist I had to get cut at age 17 for other reasons, so I got to remember the wonderful pain afterward.
---

It amazes me that (regardless of the decision you ended up making) you hadnt considered this issue long before the baby was born and researched for yourself viewpoints on both sides.

It wont be the end of the world for your son that he was circumcised, but I think the secular world is trending away from the practice.

You cant see into the future and know what your son would want. In fact, its possible that either optipn you choose he will grow up to have wanted the other - or perhaps hell grow up happy woth the choice you made either way. You just dont know.

Im not going to have biological kids (because my genes suck, and it doesnt seem right to pass them onto anyone), but theoretically if I did I would not have them circumcised. Maybe if you have a second kid you make that choice next time.
---

Both my sons were circumcised. It's a little bloody and gross for a few days. It heals. They are 5 and 2 years old now. They are fine, you'll cause pain to your son throughout your life at times unfortunately, he will be okay.

Im uncut, never had any issues or complaints :-)

There is no reason to do it. Didnt do it to my son either.

Seriously why do people throw such a fit over this?

Because they see their own personal anteaters and get jelly of those of us who have a normal dick.

Uhh anteaters are the ones with a normal dick tho...

Who wears turtlenecks anyway?

Besides, TC is a Hoth alt. It's not like he's in a position to be having kids.

I didn't know US was an anomaly in male circumcision or anything about circumcision until I randomly came across it in conversations a few years back online. It's not something taught in schools or brought up, at least in my circle because it's just normal. Plus as straight man, the only way I'd see I dated an Aussie girl who went on about how nice my penis looked in ways I wasn't used to hearing. After learning about this topic, it became obvious what she meant at the time due to how in Australia it's just as easy to find circumcised as uncircumcised and every guy she had been with before was uncircumcised.

Again, it's so weird hearing about these "infections" or "turtlenecks" (which dont happen when hard.

But it's a practise thats been around American culture for so long, that I don't blame people for those opinions. That's what you are brought up with. You don't stop and think that your literally cutting off a piece of a babies penis. No one thinks about loss of sensitivity, discoloration, botch jobs (sometimes ruining the penis), and the hardenjng of the penis head, due to no protection. There's so much wrong, but again, it's been around forever so that's all people know.

If his foreskin was not fully elastic then he could contract infections (balanitis) easily and repeatedly.

There are steroid creams for this, you know. Circumcision as a treatment for phimosis is completely unnecessary. And even if you had a particularly unusual case that defied persistent usage of steroid creams, there's such a thing as a partial circumcision in which only the tip is removed so the rest of the foreskin can be retracted with ease.

This man knows his medical shit. Normal line of therapy is corticoid cream, if persistent, partial circumcision. There's no medical indication for a "traditional" one now a days, it's cosmetic.

Also, it isn't a simple procedure. The foreskin is a very unique layer of foldable skin, you aren't just cutting off "excess" as some people claim.

I am a physician that lives in a county where circumcision isn't the norm and find it barbaric to do it "just because". Just as barbaric as putting plates on girls lips, for example.

I was advised by three GUM doctors to have a full circumcision. I asked about a partial and was advised against it (by the surgeon performing the operation). I am from the UK where the operation is not common at all. I chose to have the cut because I didn't want to spend a year or longer stretching and I was extremely tired of repeated infections. I'm not trying to argue, just make clear my experience.
---

WTF are you people sticking your nobs that you're so at risk at getting enough repeated infections you have to cut some of it off?!

This is an honest question.

I have. Asked why clitoral hood circumcision is considered evil but penis foreskin circumcision is normal. It's not fair. Both should be frowned upon.

Again, I stress that cutting off the hood and cutting the whole clit is completely different. Yet people don't understand this somehow. Cutting the clitoris is equivalent to cutting the head. The hood equals the foreskin.
---

Partial Circumcision? That is basically just allowing the tip part exposed right?
---

Yeah. My wife and I decided not to get our son circumcised. We couldn't think of any reason good enough to cut off a part of him and put him through that.
---

It's not something taught in schools or brought up, at least in my circle because it's just normal. Plus as straight man, I wouldn't be seeing another man's penis outside porn or seeing them unintentionally in which case most men will still be circumcised so I could still never see an uncircumcised one to know anything about them.

Ive met plenty of women who actively prefer cut men.

Ive met absolutely zero that prefer guys uncut, as well as several who would never lay a hand on a uncut one. The words "gross" and "weird" come up often.

I dont really care what youve got going on, but if you want to try to argue against circumcision, Im sorry but Im gonna have to trust the 6'1 hyperbabe over the guys feeling funny about their peepee.

Why do you talk about that with women?

And by the looks of it, lots of women...

Yeah, US sensibilities of penis mutilation is weird. Like it reminds me of the Japanese crooked teeth trend or ancient head binding to warp the skull's shape, these would be strange to Americans. But removing children's foreskin for cosmetic reasons seems equally bizarre.

I forgot about that. Koreans also love double eyelid surgery as well as plastic surgery in general. It's weird to think of various trends that exist in modern society for a number of "world class" countries.

This is mostly the reason, I always just assumed it was normal and beneficial. I didn't even really know I was circumcised until I was a teenager. I never really thought about even getting him circumcised untill we were at the hospital when they first asked us. Then I discussed it with my wife and decided we should on the advice from the nurse.

I honestly had no idea how painful it would be for him until we changed that first diaper and saw him screaming in pain when we had to put the gause back on. The doctor did tell us when he did the procedure though that he didn't even flinch and he was like a poster child for painless circumcisions, but he may have just said that so I'd feel better cuz I think he realized I had apprehension about it.

I had a dream about it last night and I just can't get over it right now. I feel so fucking bad for him for the pain he had to go through.

As a gay man, can confirm.

If my partner randomly developed foreskin, it wouldn't be a deal-breaker or anything... If I, by some horrible chance, had to start a relationship fresh, though, it kinda is.

As far as my nephew is concerned, though, he cried way harder over his pacifier than he did when he was circumcised. It does make me cringe to think about...
