To circumsize or not?

Question

What are some of the reasons people are against circumsizing their young sons?  And what are the reasons some people do it?

Answer

It greatly affects sexual pleasure and  overall sensitivity. Not to mention it's a traumatizing procedure done (most often) in infancy, one of the most delicate times in a person's life. There are even medical practices that specialize in reconstructing the foreskin for those who are negatively affected by not having it. It's a brutal,  archaic procedure not to mention completely unnecessary. People are concerned about infection but that's really just ridiculous because you only get infections if you don't ever clean yourself. It was beneficial in ancient judeo-Christian times because access to hygenic cleaning wasn't always easy. It's 2016, boys can clean themselves. It's so barbaric! Poor little babies don't even get anesthesia the vast majority of times!

Answer

Its unnecessary.. I dont want to put my child through unnecessary pain for a cosmetic procedure that most of the civilized world doesnt even do...  The foreskin has a purpose.. Maybe researching what that does will helo with your decision...  My husband was the one who told me that the states are pretty screwey for doing it as a tradition... But i hear those stats are changing as people see its not necessary...

Answer

Circumcision is largely an elective, cosmetic procedure. If he has a normal, healthy penis it's a completely unnecessary surgery. The vast majority of the global male population is uncircumcised and very few have any problems. Look at it this way, you're more likely to get appendicitis than have complications from being uncircumcised, yet we don't remove the appendix at birth.
