Question

Answer

Personally I've never seen the point in it. But if others do, I mind my business. My son isn't, nor is my husband or anyone else in my family. No one has had any problems keeping it clean or had any health problems from being uncircumcised.

Answer

One of my professora is a urologist and he says that circumsizion does not being benefits, neither do not circumsizing. He said both are neutral unless your child has a specific problem that requires it.

But I mean, the less medical procedures your child goes through, the better.

Answer

All the sources I've ever read have listed specific benefits though so idk. I'll circumcise my son if I ever have one.

Answer

Interesting, since I'm a girl circumcision really doesn't cross my mind. But, it's good to know for the future. Who in the hell said Huffington Post was not a reliable source? That's one of several sources I read for information. The things ppl come up with as non credible sources 😂🤣😝.

Answer

To each their own. I am completely against it. My husband left the decision up to me, he isn't circumcised either. There has never been any issue with him nor my son. My whole family was up in my business about it, but when I was checking out of the hospital my nurse asked me why I chose uncircumcised. I gave her my opinion and she agreed. She just wanted to hear my views because she sees so many people choosing circumcision. It made me feel more confident with my choice.

Answer

To hell am I ever going to rip away my child's human rights from them when they dont even have the option to make that choice. Idc if it's religious or not, don't poke and prod a little kids genitals. They're made that way for a reason. And they can be clean without being circumcised.

Answer

I used to be a "yeah i'll circumcised my son if I ever have one" but now if I do, I'm thinking a big NO! I just haven't read any research on good reasons to do it. If there is a medical problem down the line where they need to go in and snipsnip, then okay, but we can't predict the future and assume "well, he may one day have a medical problem so it's better to just do it now at 3 months". 
My brother, who was uncircumcised, actually fell into the whole "well I'm the only boy that's not!" When he was in HS and he chose to have it done then. Sure it was painful but he got through it just fine and it was his choice.

Answer

Oh yeah, they outlawed it a while ago. It's pretty uncommon over there.

Answer

I'm completely against it! So was/is everyone in my family. My husband literally left the decision solely up to me, & he's not circumcised either. He's not insecure for him not being circumcised etc.

Also, my son hasn't had any problems. No yeast infections, bacteria build up, nothing!

Answer

I circumcised my first because I was stupid and listened to what everyone said was normal. I hate myself SO much for letting them do that to my baby!! I will not be having that done to any future boys I have. There's too much that can go wrong with it.. They can cut too much and cause all kinds of pain and erection problems.

It's stupid if not done for religious purposes. But even then.. I think about how it would be painful for someone to cut any part of me off down there. It's awful, in my opinion.
