reply to skip it I am glad to had my forskin removed.Who needs that extra length of useless skin. Would you call cutting your finger nails mutilation?

reply to Jen what has looks got to do with it? It is a matter of hygenics. I would'nt want to wash my p___s 5 times a day for the rest of my life!

reply to layne Doctors use a cream that nums the p___s! The baby won't feel a thing. Any doctor who would'nt should not be a doctor! Sara, some people will say any thing to convince you.

reply to Christopher The size of the p___s does not get shorter when circ_mcised! duh..!

My son is circ_msized, but I wish I hadn't. I still have to push the skin on his p___s down and make sure it is clean. I was concerned about this but my husband said he "thinks" it's normal. He said he needs to grow into it.

reply for Katie There's nothing wrong for a Mother to inspect her sons. I am sure he apreciates your love and concern for him. Thats what our preccious Mothers are for. He will eventualy learn how to check and clean himself.

There are several ways a boy can be circ_msized. Half of them include a knofe. None of them include any numbing.. new babies are just too small to risk the complications of anesthesia. I have seen it done. They do cry. They do bleed. They do jerk their little arms. I have been with both cut and uncut. Uncut lasted longer with me. My hubby is uncut. He much prefers that. My nephew was cut, and now, at 15, is going in for surgery to repair his p___s, as too much was cut and erections are painful for him. The skin is there for a reason.. let it be. It really is no extra issue to keep your boy clean.. until he is 2+ you really don't wash it any different then you'd wash his bottom anyway. When his foreskin finally does seperate from the head, it is a simple 10 second lesson on how to pull it back and wash it while in the tub every night. ( daddies, even cut ones, can teach their boys this. ) i hope you find peace with your decision!

I didn't have my son circ_mcised because my family's Brazilian and his father's, Haitian.We don't do circ_mcision in our cultures. I'm used to uncirc_mcised p___ses because my son's father is uncirc_mcised. We feel it's horrible and unnessa__sary to circ_mcise.

My parents didn't circ_mcise me or my three brothers at birth because they felt that we should be able to make the decisions for ourselves when we were old enough. I was circ_mcised four years ago and I sort of regret doing it. I never had any problems with infections, nor did i have a reason to get circ_mcised... I just did it because my friends all had it done and I felt weird about it. While the foreskin doesn't hold a mult_tude of nerves, it does protect the glans which makes it more sensitive... without the foreskin the glans is open to anything to touch it and it loses it's sensitivity over time. You could compare it to the removal of the c___toral hood in females, your c___toris would become less sensitive over time. However, there are times when boys need to be circ_mcised and those are medical... it includes foreskins too tight to retract over the head and in rare cases the foreskin will fuse to itself so that it can't retract at all. I think, in my personal opinion from before and after, that the idea of letting your son choose is the way to go. That way, there's no regret or animosity among anyone.

in my mind i think that if god gave us foreskins they must be there fore a reason(not so we can just cut it off)

I am glad that my parents had the concern and wisdom to have me circ_mcised as a baby. Our family firmly believes it is a good hygienic practice and that it is worthwhile for preventative health care. I do not remember it, it has never caused me any pain or problems. The anti-circ_mcision people throw out so many distortions and misinformation about the procedure, using inflamatory and demeaning language. I have not been damaged, desensitized, mutilated or anything of the sort. On the other hand, I do not have to be concerned about smegma acc_mulation, dirt or lint or stale pee being trapped under the skin, or the resulting foul smell. This minor surgery brings about a lifetime of benefits.

I had my newborn circ_msized. At his four month check up we asked the doctor because he just didn't look right. He told us to just keep pushing the skin back down and if that didn't work they would have to surgically fix it. If I have another boy, I would have him circ_msized just like his dad and brother.

I have been trying to decide what to do if I have a boy. One thing I do know is that I'm not going to base cutting off a part of my son's p___s on whether or not it looks a certain way. I think that if I do have it done, it will be when he is older, and able to have anesthesia. As for sensitivity issues, I have heard that uncirc_mcised men tend to be more sensitive, and can actually get over sensitized, but not being a man, I obviously can't vouch for that.

Please people. Don't circ_mcise your baby boy's (unless it's for religious reasons). Leave them intact. People say it's dirty, it looks ugly. You just wash it for like 10 seconds. It's real easy. There's no real reason to circ_mcise. Don't do that to a baby boy. Let him grow up being the way he was born. I'm very sure he would not wan't his foreskin cut off if he knew what he would be missing. I know I wouldn't. I'm sure any uncut man can tell you how great it is being intact.

CIRCUMCISION UPDATE: A Message to Intact Males Most men who have the extraordinary good fortune in having an INTACT p___s are not aware of how endowed they actually are. Due to wise and compa__sionate parents, an outstanding doctor, or just plain luck, you have been gifted with a superior s_x organ. That is a simple fact. Your p___s has many times the sensuous nerves as your circ_mcised peers. Your p___s is still protected and preserves its only natural, moveable part. Your INTACT p___s enhances all s_xual activities and your enjoyment of intercourse and masturbation is beyond anything the owner of a cut and deadened p___s can imagine. Your INTACT p___s works naturally within the natural v____a (sleeve within a sleeve) and there are obvious reasons why Nature intended it to be INTACT. Please carry this important message to others and help the next generation of boys avoid the loss of a natural, sensitive, INTACT p___s. You, as an INTACT male, are included in about 85% of the world's male population. Only one man in seven is circ_mcised (and 75% of all circ_mcised men are Moslems). Of the non-Moslem, non- Jewish population of the world, 19 of 20 males are INTACT! (See CIRCUMCISION UPDATE, Who In The World Circ_mcises? W.I.N. VII). The only countries that practice routine circ_mcision are Islamic nations (such as Iraq, Iran, Egypt, Turkey, Bangladesh, Egypt, Pakistan, Libya), Israel and the United States! During the past decade the circ_mcision rate in Canada has dropped from 48% to 18% and in the U.S. from 90% to 56%. One of every three Americans is INTACT and the number is increasing. England stopped circ_mcising in the late 1940's and the rest of Europe never got involved in the crazy fad in the beginning. Almost all European men are INTACT. You were not strapped down while your foreskin was crushed, the head of your p___s and foreskin torn apart, cut, crushed again, and then amputated. You did not have a very sensitive part of your body mutilated without your consent. You didn't have to go through intense pain, screaming for them to "STOP!" Your friend's screams went unheeded and ignored. His genitalia were butchered. You did not have to go into shock withdrawal, convulsions, a semi-comatose state, or have your brain temporarily deprived of required oxygen or your brain chemistry altered, nor imprinted with that trauma for life. You didn't have to worry about the loss of all or part of your p___s, hemorrhage, scar tissue, infection (including staphylococcal infection), or meat_tis, meatal ulceration, stenosis, extensive skin loss, abnormal bowing or curvature, hypospadias, epispadias, skin bridges, keloid, etc. Please carry the message to others! Please try to help infant boys avoid needless suffering! Please try to help others grow into adulthood with what Nature gave them, not a deadened, insensitive, modified p___s! On very rare occasions there are boys born without a foreskin and their condition is considered "abnormal." It makes no sense, for any reason whatsoever, to remove the normal, functional, protective foreskin of an innocent, helpless, uninformed child and convert a normal, natural p___s into an abnormal organ! If a man desires to be circ_mcised later in life, that should be his choice. If he wants an INTACT natural p___s--too late! Mankind has been graced with the gift of free will (choice), and that most basic human right has been taken from that individual without his consent. It is amazing that upon seeing an INTACT p___s most cut men do not question why they were chopped up! A survey in 1982 found that 34% of cut men did not know that they were circ_mcised and about 50% of the women did not know if their father or husband were circ_mcised! S_x education in the United States? Another survey, in 1991 and 1992, asked INTACT and circ_mcised men if they were unhappy, so-so, or happy over their p___s status. The results: INTACT 83% happy, 4% so-so, 8% unhappy Circ_mcised 53% happy, 9% so-so, 38% unhappy The 8% unhappy INTACT men have the choice to change their situation. The 38% unhappy circ_mcised men? No wonder they are angry!!! Some of us INTACT men were shamed by parents of circ_mcised friends who believed the many terrible lies that convinced them that circ_mcision was beneficial (all disproved); some of us felt "different" because most of the guys were cut; some of us even wished that we had been circ_mcised as infants. Then again, some of us felt sorry for those who had their p___s mutilated and avoided showing our INTACT p___s to keep them from being envious of us and our natural s_x organ. A few INTACT men had themselves circ_mcised later and most of them deeply regret that decision. Now that the hoax has been exposed we can be proud of this INTACT gift and help educate those less fortunate--give the circ_mcised the knowledge to leave their son's bodies as Nature intended and stop this unnecessary mutilation. Circ_mcision is the biggest fraud in the history of the medical profession! Circ_mcision becomes a medical problem only after you have been circ_mcised! In conclusion, you fortunate INTACT men should be aware of the gift you have been given, be proud of what Nature intended you to have, carry the message to others in an attempt to keep innocent baby boys from being physically, s_xually and psychologically abused after birth. Promote a gentle infancy for these babies and insure the same gift that you have and so easily take for granted. Do the INTACT feel "different" today? Yes, splendidly and gloriously different! Think of all the s_xual cripples in this country who were mutilated--who had a part of their body removed without their permission! This is and should be a men's issue. If female circ_mcision and infibulation should gain acceptance in this country as it has in Islamic countries, the women of the United States would be in revolt! There is no difference--mutilation is mutilation no matter the s_x of the victim! The mutilation of male or female genitalia is a serious crime that must be stopped! http://www.cirp.org/pages/riley/intact

Uncirc_msized p___s's if they are not FULLY erect will not hold a condom correctly. This could lead to std's. Plus they are really gross. Seriously. They drool more than a cicrumsized one.
