 | What are peoples thoughts on Haveing their son circumcised?
I am 100% for circumcision!
As a man who was circed as an adult and has lived and had sex with both a foreskin and now circed I can be confident in my decision that my son to will be happier!
Although this is what I believe I'm not sure if I would give my son the snip as a baby as afew guys on here wish they had the choice, but will rather let him choose if he wants to have it done at between age 8 and 10 as it can be done by a clamp method without leaving unsightly suture marks which will come from a post pubescent/adult circ
I knew from about 5 or 6 years old that I didn't like my foreskin and wanted to look like dad and other kids at swimming lessons and if offered by my parents I would have had it done!
People say "let him choose when he's 18" but I did that and like most adult circs the results just aren't as good as infant/****. |
Are there benefits from circumcision?
There are several:
1 Many older men, who have bladder or prostate gland problems, also develop difficulties with their foreskins due to their surgeon's handling, cleaning, and using instruments. Some of these patients will need circumcising. Afterwards it is often astonishing to find some who have never ever seen their glans (knob) exposed before!
2 Some older men develop cancer of the penis - about 1 in 1000 - fairly rare, but tragic if you or your son are in that small statistic. Infant circumcision gives almost 100% protection, and young adult circumcision also gives a large degree of protection.
3 Cancer of the cervix in women is due to the Human Papilloma Virus. It thrives under and on the foreskin from where it can be transmitted during intercourse. An article in the British Medical Journal in April 2002 suggested that at least 20% of cancer of the cervix would be avoided if all men were circumcised. Surely that alone makes it worth doing?
4 Protection against HIV and AIDS. Another British Medical Journal article in May 2000 suggested that circumcised men are 8 times less likely to contract the HIV virus. (It is very important here to say that the risk is still far too high and that condoms and safe sex must be used - this applies also to preventing cancer of the cervix in women who have several partners.)
A BBC television programme in November 2000 showed two Ugandan tribes across the valley from one another. One practised circumcision and had very little AIDS, whereas, it was common in the other tribe, who then also started circumcising. This programme showed how the infection thrived in the lining of the foreskin, making it much easier to pass on.
5 As with HIV, so some protection exists against other sexually transmitted infections. Accordingly, if a condom splits or comes off, there is some protection for the couple. However, the only safe sex is to stick to one partner or abstain.
6 Lots of men, and their partners, prefer the appearance of their penis after circumcision, It is odour-free, it feels cleaner, and they enjoy better sex. Awareness of a good body image is a very important factor in building self confidence.
7 Balanitis is an unpleasant, often recurring, inflammation of the glans. It is quite common and can be prevented by circumcision.
8 Urinary tract infections sometimes occur in babies and can be quite serious. Circumcision in infancy makes it 10 times less likely
If your circumcised and your happy with it then fine. If you are an Adult who had themselves circumcised as an adult, great I hope your happy with YOUR PERSONAL decision to have it done. Do you due diligence and research exactly is involved in circumcising your son. about the possible complications, about how the foreskin is the MOST erogenous tissue on the body... just spend more than 60 seconds thinking about it. why should a baby boy's first experience be this traumatic mind altering event? Did you also realize that not to long ago women in the USA also were circumcised? but the women came together and voiced their feeling and now it is ****.... but yet it seems perfectly OK to do this to males.....
I am sure I will get blasted for my comment....and I will once again ask why is there so much anger and resentment from the circumcised crowd? think about it. I know this original post is from 4 years ago and the member has left... I am hoping anyone reading this NOW will pause a moment and maybe decide this practice needs to stop...
I had the snip as an adult also and much prefer it
To be honest, I'm glad I've never had to bother with foreskin care, one less thing to worry about in life. I've got a good lookin cock and I'm very happy with it.
as for foreskin restoration procedures, what a waste of time, just goes to show how much excess money and time people have in the western world
but hey, why should anybody else feel the same way?
having "to bother with foreskin care" is 5 seconds a day, and if you're clipped, does that mean you don't have to wash your willie?
excess money and time is shown by cutting up for NO reason! NOT the other way around!
leave it!
Meanwhile, please consider some of the following;
He may NOT share your views when he is 18 and think (like so many cut men) that he was very badly treated by those who were there to look after his interests when he could not do so himself and that he has (rightly) been mutilated unneccesarily and been 'robbed' of an important part of his sensuality.
Secondly, whatever you personally prefer visually, does it make a good case to have your son mutilated to lose two thirds of the most sensitive nerve ends from his most private part just because YOU prefer the look?
Thirdly, does it make a good case to deprive your son (or anybody for that matter) of an important part of his sexual organs and his sensuality,...just for visual effect that he may, or may not, feel later? If he does do so when he is an adult then he can get it done himself,...he does NOT need the input of any other person for such a vital, private and personal matter. Or, are you saying your son cannot be given the rights over his own body?
Finally, although you yourself did not see the benefits of having a foreskin, PLEASE do some research and find out about the function and sensual value of the foreskin BEFORE you make an irrevocable move on your sons future life,...it's NOT the 'clear cut' thing that many think, pun intended!
I think giving my son the choice to choose is the right thing rather than to have it done as an infant
If he decides he likes his foreskin then good for him! Nothing wrong with choice though.
It's not just looks for me it's far better in summer no sweating and smell and having sex with a condom my foreskin would cover the glans and I'd have to keep pulling it back.
Now the sex is just fantastic all around
The foreskin behaves inside a condom during intercourse much the same as it does without the condom,...one does not have to keep "pulling it back" in normal sex so why then with a condom?
Personally I DO have problems with the size, fit, shape and action of condoms, but that is due to my shape etc,...I don't have any foreskin related difficulties that could be eliminated by something so drastic as circumcision.
I won't bother to read further as I am sure the hysterical comments will follow on.
I just hope that Justcut takes heed.
there is no reason and no RIGHT to clip a boy! he can decide for himself when he is old enough, if it even has his consideration. he might be just happy with his skin!
an uncut penis is, except for sometimes a medical reason, a perfectly constructed "instrument". and a foreskin is a joy. leave it alone!
in europe, 90% of the boys is NOT clipped, because there just is no need to do so. jews and muslims do it, and sometimes because of a narrow skin it is done... but nine out of ten guys walk around intact.
if the penis was meant te be cut, evolution would have taken care of it!
Same with girls getting holes in their ears.
My opinion.
You believe in that-cut it off.
If not leave it alone.
I wouldn't do it to my son anyway.
there is NO NEED to clip!!
no-one would ever do that to a girl in any way! and rightfully so! why would it be OK to do it to a babyboy??
it is HIS penis for the rest of his life!!
let it be HIS decision when he can decide for himself, there is NO reason to ALWAYS circumcise!!
the male, uncut, penis is a perfect designed instrument!
please leave it!! it's the best a man can have!
My wife didn't really understand the difference until she had the opportunity to examine my penis (which is uncut).
She loves it and we have discussed not circumcising our son, should we have one.
I remember growing up in Eastern Europe and wondering why the penises in the porn that I glimpsed at looked different than mine and all of my friends.
With the foreskin pulled back there is hardly any difference.
The whole hygiene argument... just like the space underneath your balls, your armpits, and any other part of your body - if you don't wash it, it will smell. Duh. When I shower (everyday, what an idea!), I make sure to pull my foreskin back and wash everything. It's just completely natural, like brushing your teeth daily. When I urinate, I also pull the foreskin back. However, when my penis is just relaxing and lounging in my pants, the foreskin is pulled forward for comfort, which is its natural state. When I am excited, it usually pulls back itself.
In conclusion: I am uncut, my penis does not smell because of it, my wife thinks my foreskin is a hoot, it's out of the way when it needs to be, we are not having out son cut (assuming we ever have one). Thank you, drive through.
as simple as that!! thanks fou4r for your comment!
this survey in some (two) populations in AFRICA, that will echo around for a century, that circumcision protects against HIV, only states that (statistacily) clipped man have a lesser risk at HIV than uncut. the point i was trying to make is mostly: IT DOES NOT PROTECT WOMEN MORE!!
so the cut guy can maybe fuck 10% more around, not wearing a condom, before he get's HIV, but the guy's circumcision doesn't protect the woman ONE BIT!
and that IS just my point!! what if circumcision would lower the risk of HIV (which is not true), we would, circumcised or not, still have to have safesex untill being in a steady relationship!
so what is the "plus" on that?
ok, reading your comments, i have an issue on something you say, and i quote:
"To me the possession of something as trivial as two inches (in my husbands case, he's got a big cock...I love it!) of movable flesh that as far as I can tell only makes for knob cheese and a rather unpleasant odor if not washed every other day is really a non-issue."
did you EVER hear an uncut guy talk about HIS foreskin as "two trivial inches of movable flesh"? who are you to put this piece of male anatomy down? "only makes for knob cheese if not washed every OTHER day"?? washing it EVERY day might be a solution!
what would you think and say if 50% of the people on this site were thinking of cutting up your female parts because they think it would look better or lower your stink?? RIGHT! SAME HERE!
and for your last post, you did not have to do that... yes, i enjoy cockrings, ballstretchers and my PA piercing! i'm into MANY things you might not be into! but at this site you shouldn't be shocked too easely!!
if you want to put that information into this discussion, to proove that i am a FOOL, and therefore all i have said is stupid, go ahead! i am not in this discussion to win or loose. i am in this discussion to be ONE of the people that could, in a few more DECADES, in the end could stop the circumcision of babyboys who are rightless over their foreskin!
www(dot)cdc.gov/hiv/resources/factsheets/circumcision.htm
And be it known that I am married to an uncircmsised man and neither of my two sons are circumsised.
sure. this points raises his head in every discussion with americans about circumcision... even IF the results are significant (we are talking AFRICAN population and results!)
a quote:
"Several types of research have documented that male circumcision significantly reduces the risk of HIV acquisition by men during penile-vaginal sex".
...BY MEN!! doesn't protect a woman who, without a condom, is far more in danger getting hiv from the guy!
but..? what is the lesson for your son? go ahead, fuck unprotected, you are "circumsaved"?? or: fuck with a condom! always!! until you are into a safe and secure relationship!?
before the eighties, when HIV and AIDS did not exist, boys were circumcised without this very argument.
so: not valid!! the survey is not valid, the conclusion is not valid!
99% of the time, a foreskin is a perfectly designed functional part of the penis.
only when a problem arises to a boy or a man, about his foreskin be too narrow for example, than circumcision might be the solution.
to circumcise 100 boys because 1 of them might develop a foreskin that is too tight is NOT rational! we don't have preventional chemotherapy because we MIGHT get some kind of cancer!
and cutting up a babyboy without anaesthetic is just cruel and sadistic!!
but, if you DO circumcise your son, be so honest to come forward that you want to CONTROL HIS sexuality, that you feel you have a right to take from HIM, for ALL of HIS LIVE, what was never yours, but HIS!!
that you did circumcize him because you wanted it to be YOUR decision, NOT HIS!
that you did it because you could!! because he couldn't fight back, because his litlle legs were strapped by a doctor that earns a living out of cutting up little babyboys!
And on the end you are just proud how people send you more messages after that.
What the heavenly sky is wrong with that picture? Is that true picture of your nature?
I truly hope not.

have look...
Everything still works perfectly, I have no problems at all having sex, but I do get annoyed hearing people say that the removal of part of me because of a medical necessity is a "mutilation"! Would you tell a woman who had a mastectomy she was mutilated? I would hope not!
........But that does NOT change the fact that thousands of tiny male babies ARE routinely willfully mutilated for no discernible reason other than the ill influence of adults with their own agendas.
In some cases these events are even without any painkilling assistance,..the **** is strapped down and the foreskin just cut off or worse, crushed to defeat heamorage. The **** has lost two thirds of the nerve endings in his penis,..also the unique voluptus of the foreskin which is different to that in the rest of the glans and shaft,...so the childs sexual capabilities and 'identity' are crudely changed and reduced without regard.
The dictionary definition of 'Mutilation' is slightly different according to which dictionary but all agree with 'willful deprivation and removal'.....so, the use certainly fits the appliction of the word!
The sooner that everyone understands the utter barbarity and pointless nature of this cruel procedure then the sooner men will be free to grow up with what nature intended and to THEN be free to make their own choice about their OWN penis. (in much the same way that a man can have any physical feature changed by cosmetic surgery now)
Although I would agree that this subject is tiresome in it's frequent argumentive manner, it's vital that sites like this DO allow full discussion and argument so that public attitudes and false perceptions are eventually changed ....in the interests of future genterations of babies who are unable to defend themselves,...and mindful of the legions of men who regret the loss of their foreskins and who would have like to know what having an intact penis is like,..not too much to ask, surely(?)
people, please! have a look at this video and decide if this is what you want to be legal!!
have a look, doesn't it break your heart that this is the start of life for a babyboy??

Could you answer my question please which I asked you by by PM on March 22nd.
Thank you in anticipation of your reply.

Circumcision of the healthy foreskin is simply unnecessary and is derived from religious folklore and cultural tradition. It has nothing to do with cleanliness, health or wellbeing.
Thousands of members on this site have perfectly functional, healthy uncircumcised penises. Foreskin is very necessary and important as PRIOR to arousal it protects the glans, which is the most sensitive part of the male anatomy and is actually classed as an internal organ until exposed during sex. Just as the clitoral hood protects the clitoris, the foreskin has the same function in men. The foreskin also provides additional sensitivity DURING arousal.
Also, by maintaining good personal hygiene, ie the same as we do with our hair, hands, teeth etc, you will maintain a healthy, functional penis, as have thousands of uncut members on this forum.
Recommemding or performing circumcision for cleanliness, religion, tradition or asthetics is completely illogical, wholly wrong and 100% unnecessary.
You wouldnt recommend the removal of a person's hands, hair or teeth to maintain personal cleanliness, as they can be cleaned and washed. The same logic applies to a man's whole, intact penis.
