I was hoping for a better responce from the group on Circumcision Posting. I would like for those of you that have just been circumcised, or who are uncircumcised to respond to a few questions please. If you just had it done why? Were there any issues around others teasing you, or rejection from girlfriend or others.Have any problems with cancer or urinary tract infections. Odor problems cause from smegma? As you know as parents we have been given the right to have it removed at birth. I was circumcised at birth. personally I would have liked to have been able to make that decision for myself.I know this site addresses size issues. Left alone there is more penis.Cutting it away will reduce the size. Just do not want to have it done, because that is the way most others look in US. Most insurance companies do not pay for .What they believe to be unecessary procedure. Our doctor would not mind having the extra 250 plus dollars in his pocket. Are there any issues that you have had, that you do not mind sharing.Did you make the decision for your sons? What did you do? and Why? I am not asking to place judgement on you. I took the time to educate myself on the subject. And the cancer issue is very rare. Our girls have a greater chance at getting breast cancer and we do not have their breasts removed at birth. My wife thinks he is going to have problems. With UT Infections and rejections and other will tease him. And she has issues on what it looks like. Now my wife hates the way a penis looks any way.So with that comment I have put the heat on her. It is not there for our use. It is his and his alone. Now I can read for and against sites all day long. Where do you stand? And just because is not an answer. Thank you for your time. respectful responses please. I am glad to have a son on the way . But not happy about having the decision.

Thank you, I have seen some of these sites before. the number of circumcised men are falling. as far as a cleaning issue. we teach our children how to brush their teeth, clean there nails, We tell our girls the right way to wipe them selfs.Teaching them how to wash their genitals when they are old enough should not be a problem. Some parents try to retract the foreskin to clean them before it is time. I have taken the time to read enough to wait till child becomes older. Never force it back. wash it downward. I think once he discovers that it retracts through his normal play. I will know. I give my girls baths. I have seen them touching their parts. Trust me I seen more than I want to. trying to get them not to do it in front of everybody has been a small issue.

Don't do it. Let him make the decision. I made the choice to have it done when I was 32 years old. Biggest mistake I could have ever made. I was having a problem with track infections so doing, got rid of the frequent infections, but boy did i loose as far as sensation is concern. Contrary to what I thought would happen, (more sensativity) as time passed, i lost more and more sensativity. Now i need lots of pressure applied to the penis to really get going. Most of my simuli is from the base of the penis now rather than the head. Let the boy keep his foreskin, he will thank you for it. I wished I had kept my even with the track infections, after all they were not that bad. Hope this helps.

I'm from Europe and here few men are circumcised. We don't have such tradition (tradition, more than something actually functional). Boys fix their fimosis through masturbation, we all did. If you arrived to the Army and you had not done your homework, they fixed it with surgery, not by removing the foreskin, but separating it from the glans. There's a big difference. We looked with dissimulated curiosity to the only circumcised guy that we had in our headquarters, his cock looked kind of obscene, always out.
Now, I got married to an American girl, we had a baby and consequently a big argument about the subject. All of a sudden being uncut seemed to be all disadvantadges, I didn't even know how I had had a sexual life all that time. Still in Europe, we asked doctors; they said go ahead, your baby's not going to die from that, you may even prevent him from having trouble in the future, but I asked them about their own children and none of them were cut. The last one convinced me: "do it and you'll have armony at home." We did it, I let a doctor mutilate my son, he'll look like the rest of Americans, but not like his dad. Then problems started, the doc didn't do a great job and we had to repeat it, now with general anesthesia. A big thing, worse than doing it at 16.
My point was: 1)surgery as a preventive measure is a no-no,
2)circumcision in Biblical times had good reasons for people living in the desert, now we use soap and showers as higienic measures.
3)that's the most personal part of a man, let him decide when time comes. He may choose keeping those millions of sensitive nervous terminals on his penis.
Now that it's being more discussed in the media than just 5 years ago, now that even progressist Jewish circles question it, we are sorry, both of us. And I feel more sorry because I didn't do my job as a real father bear. Let babies decide when they are ready.
