i know what you mean sugar. im in the UK too and its not a common thing, it almost sounds in here like its as common and simple as booking an appointment!!! i personally think that unless medical circ_mstances call for it to be done it is unnecessary. i wouldn't even consider it if i lived in the US because 'everyone else is doing it'. i think its something that needs to be thought about very seriously as you are talking about a little boys manhood and how he has to spend the rest of his life. i do not undersand the hygiene excuse for having it done either, aren't most people hygienic in this century? i am shocked by how common it is in the US, i thought it was purely a religious tradition and didnt know its common for most baby boys to get the chop. it just seems cruel to me.

We are having a boy and I do plan on having him circ_msized. I have a few reasons. First is becuase of my religion and secondly the whole making sure its clean. Ive been told that it is very easy to keep clean as long as you teach them how to do it properly. I only think about when they get older. My mom was a nursing a__sistant for an old folks home and she said that just about every male there that was not circ_msized had infections because they refused to let her clean it properly, she said that it would get so crusted that you werent even able to pull the skin back. I just dont want him to have to worry about it when he gets to be an older age. They also say that being circ_msized reduces pleasure for s_x. My husband is circ_msized and said that his orgasims are great and has a lot of pleasure during s_x. This is just my opinion on it, I can see why someone wouldnt have their son circ_msized as well. I think its all personal choice and there is no wrong way.

i agree with llukenjess and traceyc. the way i see it is that you were made how god made you. fair enough having surgery for serious cosmetic reasons such as deformity or a serious medical condition but when they cover it up with 'hygiene reasons and so called religion, i just do not see that as a good enough reason. faye i understand that your mum obviously had a very tough job on her hands but at the end of the day its like with anything, if you don't look after your body correctly then you will probably get infections and problems. the fact is that if you teach them from a young age how to clean that area then they arent stupid, they will know how to do it and hopefully look after themselves well and hopefully never encounter any problems. i just see the hygiene thing as a total excuse. in this day and age, i mean what did mothers do years ago when circ_mcission wasnt common? they certainly knew how to look after their baby boys and keep them clean!

my husband is greek and not circ_msized & while i have to admit,it was the first one i had seen and it kind of creeped me out at first, now i have already told him if we have a son he will also not be circ_msized. such a painful little pointless procedure.

Hehehe Jezebel thanks for being honest, that was so funny. That's another factor that I took into consideration when deciding if I would circ_msize my future son if I was blessed with one.

it just makes me think that the world has gone a bit mad sometimes. all you ever read about these days are 'this gives you cancer... this can kill you... this can give you that' and if you read too much into these things you might as well live your life in a bubble! its the same when you are pregnant, how many times have you heard people say 'you can't do this because ive read it gives you.... or 'did you know you can't have a bath etc etc etc' the list is endless. what im trying to say is that all this newish talk of 'you must circ_mcise a little baby boy to stop infections etc etc etc, is just another form of media driven paranoia. i mean what happened years ago when women got pregnant, had baby boys and didnt circ_mcise them? i very much doubt they all ended up with infections. its like with anything, if you neglect a part of your body and don't keep clean then you will most likely encounter problems. if we listen to all the jargon about it then we might as well chop off everything so we NEVER run the risk of getting any infection/disease!!! god made us how he made us and i find it a bit sad that some women obviously read into it and believe every word of it and then go and give their little boy the chop because they are convinced it will be better for them.

my friend had s_x with a guy uncirc_mcised & she got some infection & a UTI from him they said its because he didn't take good proper cleansing; how do u know your son will take care of it when hes older? you wont. best thing i think is to get it done but everyone has there own opinions!!

I would just like to add that this is a very personal decision that a mother and father need to make for their baby son. So for those of you coming on this thread and talking about how "barbaric" and pointless and painful it is, I don't know what you are trying to accomplish. Yes, everyone has a right to their opinions, and yes there is freedom of speech, but please do not try to come on here and convince people that your way is the right way. Everyone has their different experiences and their differing opinions on the matter, so there is no need to repeat the same thing over and over. I have heard three or four women on here preaching repeatedly about how it is not right to do circ_msicions and how it is unnecessary, well that may be your opinion. That doesn't mean that just because you feel that way that others will agree, so please state your opinion once and then let it go. You are not going to change anyone's minds about such a personal decision by repeating yourself over and over again.

Gabby, who is preaching? The beauty of a public forum is that people have different opinions of which can be discussed and debated, hence the point of this thread. She wanted people's opinions and if you believe a debate would not ensue you are sadly mistaken. If you are not interested in partaking in a (what I have seen) very civil debate, then don't participate and don't come in here waving your moral flag either. Kendra Marie, wondering if your son "would take care of his p___s later in life" is like wondering if he'll take care of his teeth or if he'll go to the doctor when he needs to as an adult. Once it becomes his responsibility it is out of your control, and while it is in your control you need to teach him what should be done so that he is well informed and can make good decisions.

Why does anyone else care whether or not another mother is going to circ_msize their own son?? some people just need a life. Just do what you want and leave it at that....dang

Ok first of all, I was not waving any moral flag. I simply stated that it's annoying to read some of these posts that say the same c___p over and over. And second of all don't jump down my throat and try to explain to me what a forum is, I'm not stupid. I said in my post that everyone is ent_tled to their own opinions. I just can't stand these women coming on this forum and telling others that circ_mcision is barabaric and wrong when it is a personal decision. So yes I think that everyone should share their opinions but I'm not going to be convinced that my decision to circ_mcise my son is wrong. So you feel the way you want and I'll feel the way that I want, I just don't feel like reading the same persons opinion 10 times.

Simple answer to that. Don't read their answer 10 times. If you don't like what a particular person has to say, skip over their posts. If you have a particular problem with someone or their opinion address them. Otherwise what exactly are you trying to get across with your posts. They neither help nor contribute to this discussion.

What the hell is your problem? Did I in some way offend you, because it seems like you are taking everything I say personally?
