Circumcision vs Non circumcision?

[Mr. dB]

Hold on - I never said that I had to pull it back and clean it. When I was talking about cleaning him I was talking about changing his diaper in general, but I noticed that there was the foreskin on him which I didn't touch because I wasn't certain about. Then I asked about it and I was told that down the road when he was older, it would be different keeping it clean verses a non circumsized one. Many little boys who aren't showed how to clean the foreskin develop hygiene issues because it can get infected much easier. Especially if it isn't cleaned.

So it was a complete non-issue then? One wonders why you bothered to bring it up then? Your previous post seemed to imply that you encountered issues.

Somehow mankind managed to survive for millions of years living in caves and in the rain forest and in the savannah with foreskins, without any special attention.

At birth the foreskin is adhered to the glans kind of like the way your fingernails adhere to the skin of your fingertips. It doesn't retract, and forcing retraction would be painful. At this stage of development, no maintenance is required. By the time it becomes retractable (and this varies from child to child), the boy will be potty trained and will be cleaning himself. And of course boys have curious hands and the penis is conveniently located right at arm's length.

I didn't read any of this...

But this thread has been posted so many times...

My personal conclusion is that yes it is a very very very very very silly thing to do to something that there is nothing wrong with from the get go, it's natural -it's healthy, etc.. and it's based on goofy relgious bullshit...

That's being said... sex, social status, acceptance, etc are very important in real life. If I had a son, I would circumsize him simply because I wouldn't want him to be in a situation where he is ridiculed or shuned by some girl because his dick was considered 'odd'...

How awefull... but it's reality.

You would cut yout sons penis because of what some girl might think? You are a low son of a.

Circumcision is BRUTALLY DEFACING a child, what have we come to? Plastic surgery art 1 months old just so girls who are immature and watched a porn can see the same dinky they seen on t.v? it's wrong, there is no other side to it, IN NORTH AMERICA, in sudan, where sand gets stuck in there, go for it, here, fuck right off

To me, Jesus was a jew

It's far from certain if he was in fact a member of the tribe that practiced the traditions that todays Jews do but simple messages are easier to convey.

like having your kids sensitive bits cut with a scalpel, it's all about conforming the facts to fit with your own personal reality.

Americas love affair with the scalpel has its roots in Victorian prudery and the repression of 'imoral urges' in kids back in the early 1900's, the idea was that snipping would prevent masturbation which would in turn prevent unGodliness. Along with acid on the genitals of girls, and Cornflake enemas (sadly those two didnt stand the test of time, as a clean cooch and bum are just as important imo as a pee-pee passing muster)

Time passes and thing become socially accepted and really that's all that matters.. the hows and whys of the issue aren't that important.
