Do you believe circumcision is necessary?

Question

Answer

Going by the definition of the word "necessary," it 100% isn't. If it was necessary by definition, then it would cause problems in nearly every intact male.
There are no circumcised men in my family and I didn't circumcise my boys. Never known anyone that needed it done later in life or had any problems stemming from having an intact penis. Circumcisions are really not that common anywhere but North America for any reason other than religious.

Answer

I'm from the UK and its unheard of here outside of religious reasons. I don't understand why people do it, the skin is there for a reason. Sure, there might be problems later, but you could say that about every part of the body. Sure, there can be hygiene issues, but all genitals can have them. I'd never do it to my kids, it just seems so unnecessary

Answer

I left that choice up to my husband. I figured he was the one with the penis. So our son is circumcised.

Answer

No. Cutting off a piece of skin to make a babies penis look more aesthetically pleasing is not necessarily

Answer

Literally the US is the only country, as a whole, that is so crazy about it.  In other parts of the world,  it's mostly done for religious reasons.

Answer

Not necessary but more of a preference kind of thing. 
Depends how you were raised. Here in the US it is very common for little boys to be circumcised but many moms now days are shying away from it. 
Me personally. I have three boys and their dad had it done so I didn’t want them asking why their penises are different from their dad’s so we had our boys clipped. 
If you don’t get it done just make sure to teach your son how to pull the skin back properly to clean bc their foreskin can close up like a wound and actually cause major issues; not being able to urinate and needing surgery. And this happens fast. With in a couple weeks. 
Either way it’s your choice. Do what is best for you and your family.

Answer

It’s not necessary right after they’re born, but later on in life it can become necessary and I would rather do it now than later when they have a longer, harder recovery time. It’s not about aesthetics to me. I could care less what my son’s penis looks like.

Answer

I said necessary. 
My SO was circumcised this past February due to phimosis (congenital shortening of the frenulum). So his foreskin literally tore causing a lot of pain and an infection. We’ve decided to circumcise if we have a boy so they don’t have to experience what he did.
