Circumcision

Circumcision or braces?



For whom did you intend this to be aesthetically pleasing? It seems to me that irreparable surgery that will decrease the sensitivity of your sons genitals should be done after there appears to be a problem, not as a preemptive move. Uncircumcised boys get by just fine in the aesthetic department, unless you were trying to please your own aesthetics.



It does not strike you as very important. However, you weren't the one being circumcised. You are pushing your son, surgically, towarRAB what you think sexual fulfillment is. His penis and its sensitivity are important, exactly how important really shouldn't be up to you to decide. He will not be able to get his foreskin nerve endings and related sensitivity back; it seems absurd to take that away before he can even experience it. Is decreased penile sensitivity really in his best interest? Certainly his sex life won't be ruined, but it will be different. Decreased sensitivity will mean more stimulation is needed to acheive the same effect. More sensitivity will add dimensions to his sex life that you have denied him. And for what? For whom do you think this is aesthetically pleasing?

His sex life, because this decision you made purely for aesthetics, will irrevocably be different. It might be better for it, or it might be worse for it. But he will now never know how it would have been with the sensitivity he naturally would have.
 
Without addressing every point above, let me say that this only goes toward proving you are not a man and you do not correctly describe what happens with a hardened penis.

I can't speak from experience but an acquaintance of mine says that dead skin cells taste horrible. A circumcised penis carries less grunge and is preferred by all of the master felatio experts that I know.
 
Circumcision.
My own of course, shared by many.
I will continue to make decisions that will have irrevocable consequences for my son for years to come.
Agreed.
 
In a way it does make a man alot more cleaner. Having the foreskin, makes it a little more complicated to clean it throughly. Also, more bacteria can hide in the foreskin, as opposed to if the man had himself clipped.

As for the taste. I only put food in my mouth, so I wouldn't know.
 
I know that. I am not advocating the law intervene. Try reading the thread, it can be informative :)

You do not know that it is best for your kiRAB. It could very well be that they would be better off uncircumcised even if nothing goes wrong with the surgery.



That could be, or it could be that I've been on the receiving end and taste has never been an issue between me and my partner(s).



lol. It would be required before you could have any authoritative preference on our respective miles. Otherwise you're just trying to validate your own.



You wouldn't know the difference to grieve the loss anyway, so it doesn't surprise me. Why not give your children the opportunity to find out which they prefer instead of telling them which one they are going to prefer by surgically altering them so they cannot experience the difference?



Oh wow can you. Amazing that your parents didn't have the doctors remove all your hair at birth and then tell you how much better being bald is. You'd probably swallow it all too and then come onto forums telling everyone that being bald feels so much better than having hair. Pfft.



The Court didn't decide I'm obsessing :) You need to feel better about yourself so you are trying to tar me.



Why not remove them at birth, then? Tonsilectomys are ususally done because of a medical need. There is no need to get circumcised.



You didn't check far enough :O!

Summary: Thirty-five articles and a number of abstracts have been published in the medical literature looking at the relationship between male circumcision and HIV infection. Study designs have included geographical analysis, studies of high risk patients, partner studies and random population surveys. Most of the studies have been conducted in Africa. A meta-analysis was performed on the 29 published articles where data were available. When the raw data are combined, a man with a circumcised penis is at greater risk of acquiring and transmitting HIV than a man with a non-circumcised penis (odRAB ratio (OR)=1.06, 95% confidence interval (CI)=1.01-1.12). Based on the studies published to date, recommending routine circumcision as a prophylactic measure to prevent HIV infection in Africa, or elsewhere, is scientifically unfounded.

Regardless, however, the procedure can be done later in life. This does not advance your case of circumcision at birth.
 
I should make a poll to piggyback this highly debatable and thought provoking poll.

"Given that none of you know me personally, am I circumcised?"
A.Yes
B.No
 
LOL! I know, you just pull the skin back and clean it. I had to give alot of bed baths to men because I'm a certified nurses assistant. But still, wouldn't you want to just be able to clean it, rather then pull the skin back to do it?!:)
 
In the cases where it is performed on innocent children who are only a few days old and don't have the capacity to decide for themselves, I'd call it mutilation.
 
I'd guess that adult circumcism is much more difficult and painful. I'm glad that I was converted to a sporting model soon after birth. :xgood:
 
To add a little bit

from here



Of course, it isn't the 'end all cure', but if done under proper curcumstances, it might help a bit.

Of course, so would abstainance, and two healthy people being in a monogamous relationship.
 
Thank you for the compliment, but don't sell yourself short.

If you are satisfied with how you are, that is great :) I truly hope your son is the same.
