Circumcision? Yes or no?

[MohawkMuscle]

I will be having a son in Dec.

I understand in canada this is not a routine practice anymore, you have to pay and make an appointment for this.

If you're a Jew and/or your son is, it's essential. Otherwise, there's no medical need.

i read it keratinises the mucous membranes on the head of the penis (glans) so infection is much harder. the only mucous membranes left easilyh exposed would be the urethra

it also is said to deaden sensation. the hygene implications probably arent noteworthy as proper cleaning is ok i guess.

if i had a son id do it

but its completely ur choice at the end of the day.

IT ALSO HURTS LIKE FUCK!!!

Circumsize that little pecker, its just nasty with the foreskin----looks like a monkey dick or something, plus chicks prefer a visable head. I think smegma and bacteria and shit is a concern also with un-cut penises.

There was a long post a looong time ago explaining exactly why one should NOT inflict such a thing upon his son.

First of all: "It helps keep it clean!" Bullshit... soap helps keep it clean. Hell, what gets dirtier every day? Your face (exposed all day long) or your feet (socks and shoes covering them all day long).

Secondly: I'm told that circumcision results in less sensitivity for the man when "the time" comes.

Thirdly: "It looks better!" blah blah blah... pull back the skin and I bet not even the peepee-doctor could tell the difference.

Fourthly: "He'll get made fun of!" There is not a child alive today who cannot think of something about a person to make fun of. Might as well not send him to school or let him play outside. He'll thank you when he's a big boy for not mutilating his penis.

Finally: You seem to be looking for a reason "why not" - you should be looking for a reason WHY. I don't think to myself: "Gee let me think of some reasons why not to smash my hand with a hammer?" I think "Why the fuck would I smash my hand with a hammer?"

Besides, if he wants it done, he'll do it himself when he feels like making that decision. Isn't it his to make anyway?

didnt mention if u circumcise at a younger age the tissue is more likely to keratinise

it has been shown to reduce HIV tranmission

STD prevention would be my main motivation, i wouldnt really consider hygiene one, but it isnt exactly traumatic or anything it just stings ....it does help keep the penis cleaner as bacteria will grow much more easily in the foreskin...there are a whole host of pathogens that do this

soap and water takes care of it though

Over 80 percent said yes, including me. I'm sure the ones that said no are uncircumcised and don't mind having that ugly thing between their legs.

Circumcision is esthetically better looking, bottom line.

Fuck it, even if I wasn't already done at age 30, i would go and get it cut. Who the hell wants a dog dick? Do your kid a favor and get it cut, he won't remember anyhow. If anything it will make him a stronger man in the future.
