To Circumcise or not?

Question

I'm having a really hard time deciding whether or not to have a circumcision on my son. This is my first baby so I'm just looking for other opinions! I'm sure this is asked all the time on here but please just humor me I'm really torn on this! Haha.

Answer

I think that altering genitalia, whether male or female, is unnecessary. Humans have no reason to remove tissue, although it happens every day to infant boys. Female circumcision is performed to eliminate sexual pleasure, and is viewed as morally wrong in most societies. Not entirely sure how we are able to justify doing it to males. My thought: when it comes to someone else's junk, don't cut any of it off. :)

Answer

Were not if we're having a boy. My SO isn't and he has never had a problem and actually he is one of the cleanest men I've been with. He's never had one infection due to being not circumcised. I'm excited that we will be able to enjoy the baby coming home from the hospital without the terror and cries of a raw penis due to being circumcised. I know some people think it's gross but that can be a decision he can make later, but if he is taught the cleanliness and confidence, he will be fine :) either way up to you all!

Answer

My husband is uncircumcised, which is common in Germany. He wants his son to be uncircumcised, which I'm fine with. If the child wants to get the procedure, he can make that choice. I've read confessions from men that state they felt "violated" and "wished" they were able to make the decision to be uncircumcised or not.

Answer

A lot of people feel bad for putting them through the procedure because it is sore but they won't remember it at all. Its not an option for me, my son will be getting circumcised just because they are easier to keep clean.

Answer

I didn't vote, because I think it's so much a personal choice that I don't feel comfortable telling someone else what they should do. My husband is uncircumcised and he decided that he wanted our son to be circumcised. I left the choice to him.

Answer

It's up to you. We plan on circumcision it is a surgical procedure so decide what is best for you. Surprisingly a lot of moms are not circumsizing anymore but if you decide not to just make sure that you learn how to clean it properly and then when he is older and going to the bathroom on his own teach him how to properly clean it

Answer

My son is nearly 3 and now has to get circumcised for medical reasons. So alot tougher because he is going to remember it. His father had the same issue also and had it done qhen he was 3. 
If our next is a boy we are going to ask for it to be done

Answer

Im with my first baby too. If they are a boy... Yes he will be circumcised.

Answer

It has nothing to do with the choice the parent makes. When the child is born and uncircumcised the foreskin is attached to the head of the penis at birth by a thin membrane. As the child grows and matured the foreskin is gradually pulled back exposing areas that could be concerning for infection later in life. Most young men don't have a completely retractable foreskin until age 9 or 10 which is an age that their parents should have taught themselves to clean well by then. The truth is you could have infections even if you are uncircumcised, sometimes it is a hormonal or chemical imbalance. Sometimes the anatomy is causing the likely hood of infection (I.e. The shape of the penis) it may even be caused by other physical ailments. Yes it is completely up to the parent, but neither is better than the other.

Answer

My dad wast and ended up having to as an adult because he would he infections.   So did a good friend of mine who I went to college with. Both very clean men .I think it's a personal choice each parents have to make.
