Well, after having done extensive research on the subject, my husband and I desided not to circ_msize our little boy. For those who want more in depth information, here is the BEST web-site I've seen out there (start with "FAQ"). It seems that a lot of people aren't really sure of the anatomy or how to take care of an intact p__s. The most interesting part I learned is that the foreskin is fused to the head of the p__s like your fingernail to your finger and when they circ_msize they actually peel it first. The foreskin doesn't start fully retracting until a few years later all the way up to about 10, and at that age your son can be taught how to clean his thing, which couldn't be easier. I also saw some graphic pictures and videos of the procedure.

I'm glad you made the best decision for you and your family. There is not right answer when it comes to this. Its controversial like vaccinations, abortion, etc. We each have our own opinions, but its every persons personal choice. One question though, for everyone who decided not to circ_msize, if your son in his teens or older decides he wants the surgery will you guys support him? Pay for it? Discourage him? Just wondering since so many men get it in there teens and adult life. (Just as many don't. Not trying to get yelled at)

ShoppingForTwo, I have read about adult circ_mcision too and my husband and I desided that if it comes to that, we will make sure he has all the information available to him so he can know both sides of the story and whatever he desides is fine with us. I also read that a lot of men are now doing the reverse surgery? Like adding the foreskin back where it was. I know one thing for sure is that when they do it when they are older, the skin is already retractable and they apply a local anesthetic to the area, unlike in babies.

P.S. I wanted to say that I'm not trying to make anyone favor one thing over the other, but when I re-read my post it kind of seemed that way. I just wanted to tell everyone about something new I learned about the subject, because I had no idea about that.

Hahahaha, ShoppingForTwo, my husband was saying that it's probably their rear, since it has such soft sensitive skin on it. I forgot the link!!! Here it is: w*w*w*.*cirp*.*org*/*pages*/*parents*/*

Actually it is my guess they would use skin from the mouth/lip area as it is technically the same skin. For skin grafts onto female genitalia they use the inner mouth and lip skin. Just a suggestion as I am not sure myself.

i have a boy and one on the way to. the choice to do this from what i see is based on what the father has, and of course pros and cons about the whole surgery and resons why/ why not. i read about it regardless that my hubby is not cut, and i thought, well if there was a problem down the road we will face it then, until then im gunna give birth to my boy and take him home the way he came out:)... one this i heard is that they have only just relised baby feel the surgery, it was said they didnt know babys felt pain, what is with that? i would think of course the baby can. so numb the poor lil thing or something!.
