i dont believe in putting a baby through so much pain. if a man was not meant to have a foreskin they would never have been born with one in the first place. teach your son well about hygiene and there should be no problems.

1st of all i went 26 years of my life being uncircumcised and i had to be circumcised due to a an accident with my zipper about a year ago i must say
adult circumcision does not really hurt any worse than having a cavity filled and i was under a local not general and and for about 6 days i had some mild disomfort but on the down side sex is nowhere as good as it used to be my feeling is gone and all that crap about infections is hogwash it is no easier to keep clean either way so it sounds to me like your husband is a dumb redneck that dont know his ass from a hole in the ground o and by the way why does it matter if a father and sons penis looks a like if they both go around looking at each others penises
i would say they both need professional help and last but not least boys do not make fun of each other for that i mean come on everybody knows u dont admit looking at another's penis in the locker room that will get u made fun of or get your ass kicked

I never heard of anyone getting infections from foreskins until I came on this site. My first boyfriend was circumcised (He was born in America) and the other 3 were not. None of those with foreskins had infections and were very clean. I kind of like having that extra bit of skin to play with and it doesn't turn me off at all. Yum!

my sister has a son who has had some trouble with her 8 year old son keeping himself clean. He is not circumsized and she regrets it! She didn't get him circumsized because his father wasn't.

It does depend on where you live. I remember in high school there was a guy who wasn't circumsized and everyone knew it and talked about it. It was considered unusual. This was in the states.

i got my son circumsiced they forget it hurts them but theyll never remeber my mom didnt get my brother done when he was a baby so he did it when he was 18 alot more painful i think its more accepted plus i wirk in a nursing hiome and the men who arent circumsized have much more problems then the ones that are

d you sound like a real asshole

replies to my last message makes me really wonder what is going through your heads only a woman can come up with a reply like those so he might need to have it done later in life ok he might need to have his tonsils taken out later in life o dont forget his apendix ect i mean c'mon ppl o and by the way circumcised or not a man's genitals is a hell of a lot easier to keep clean than a woman and trust me if a woman dont keep themselves clean down there a man can smell that shit from across the room so ya simple minded housewives need to find something better to do maybe like cleaning the house or heres a good one cook dinner wonder when the last time was u did either of the 2

A woman talking here - despite the fact that your original post was a bit harsh at times I am so glad to hear the story from both sides and from the same man. Men that are circumcised do not know better on how it can feel sexually as their nerve endings have been chopped of by mommy and daddy very early on in their lives. So many men in Americans are not even given a chance to have their masculine organs intact and their sexual pleasure untouched by parents worried about what others would say, looks and unlikely infections. I agree with you that circumcision is a result of ignorance. Any parent that knew that circumcision will truly change their son's sexual feelings would not do it to them. That is just too cruel! BTW, I am a jewish woman expecting a first baby, my jewish boy WILL NOT be circumcised.

i know i do sound harsh on the issue but i have been on both sides of the fence i would not be circumcised to this day if i had not had too much to drink one night and went to pee and catch my forskin in my zipper all and the doctor that did my circumcision as far as pain goes for an adult its not that bad the urologist that did min said he would not to it on a child or an infant as a routine procedure due to the fact it is more painful for them because their penis is so little you cant give an injection like he gave me to deaden the pain so really i believe if a parent really loves their child they would leave that choice up to them and not make it for them or put them through needless pain

Well, funny with all the religous people who seem to be on these boards no one seems to remember the bit "god made man in his image"....
As for foreskins looking unappealing... gee gals, have a good look at yourselves down below after sex... like a bulldogs face after eating porrige... give the guys a break. Personally i have had sex with both types and the only difference i have noticed is uncircumsised ones tend to be BIGGER.... when a man get an erection the sock thing is gone... all stretches out to FULL length... and most men like the bigger idea...
People are mutilating their babies. There i have said it. As for the argument about looking The Same as others... well fact is your boys are not going to looks the same, some are going to be FAT, some are going to be ugly, pimply, red headed, wear glasses, the list goes on.... And YES it is genital mutilation.... what else can you call it???? in countries where they do it to girls they say "we want her to look the same as the other girls"... "the natural state is not as attractive as the mutilated version"... sound familiar????
As to the woman who went out with a man for 4 years and found his penis distasteful... well if you LOVE someone all their bits are nice... just remember we want men to love us with saggy breasts, cellulite and bad bikini waxes.... it is as bad as women who say they wouldn't date a guy with a hairy back.. who cares if the heart and soul of a man is good? The whole point about circumcission is WHAT is the point????

my 7 year old boy is circumcized and I would definitely do it again. One of my best friends has a 14 year old boy that was never circumcized and he ended up having to have it done at 10yrs old because of so many problems.(irritation, infection, etc.) i think the odds of something going wrong are alot higher in an uncircumcized penis as apposed to a circumcized one. But their are risks to everything unfortunately. You need to do what's right for your family. Good luck!

It's not difficult to keep an uncircumsised penis clean. It's no more difficult than cleaning behind your ears.You'd have to be one skanky family to have such problems!

Congratuations, girl! You said it so good. However, imagine how all these moms feel knowing that for vanity/personal reasons they have mutilated their sons and robbed them of full sexual pleasure forever. They will deny it and ignore people like us, who tells them a horrible truth. It is a fact, written in many medical articles and known in many countries outside the US, that circumcision is mutilation. However, in this country this procedure is so common the truth is not accepted - like someone else said here - circumcision started in the US (following English footsteps) as a way to prevent kids from masturbating! That is horrible and sad. it is even more horrible to know that moms are not doing their homework on this matter and are just following what their moms and the moms of their moms did to their sons without questioning what they are really doing. Ignorance I say.

My son had his circ. right after he was born and it was no big deal. My husband is circ. as with all the men in my family. There are judgemental people on both sides of the circ. issue. Try not to let total strangers decide for you. It's between you and your baby's father.

i know this don't happen often but we had aheck of time with my sons and me and dh almost thought if we have another boy we would not do it cause my son went throw alot but who knows we have not had another boy since
