Circumcision?

Question

So I am having a little boy and feel on the fence about circumcision. The men I have asked have been about 50/50 about it. Not having a penis I’m a little unsure what he would actually prefer

Answer

There is no medical need for it and my baby’s father is uncircumcised...so we will not be doing it. To each their own though 🙂

Answer

I was against it until my husband pointed out the issues with not being circumcised. His 93 year old great grandfather had to get circumcised at 93 because he could no longer care for himself and was getting a lot of UTIs. I’m still kinda on the fence about it but we did get our son circumcised for the longer term care concerns.  It’s not an issue while your son can care for himself - but when they are young and still learning and old and can’t care for themselves it’s an issue.  There are higher rates of infections in young boys/old men that are not circumcised.   Just some food for thought while working through this decision!

Answer

One of my good friends had to be circumcised his junior year of high school and I still remember him saying how insanely terrible it was and how he wished his parents had just done it when he was a baby 🤷🏼‍♀️

Answer

I’m having my son circumcised. Fully my decision. However his father was uncircumcised and is now wanting to be circumcised.

Answer

My oldest who is 20years old I did not circumcise him and my 2yr old, 10mth old and this baby boy will not be either!

Answer

We’re having a big. Husband is but I’ve decided we aren’t going to for Babysaurus. It’s one of those things that isn’t medically necessary, so why put him through the pain of it? Even if he won’t remember it.
And, from what I have read while researching it, some doctors now aren’t all on board with it for non-medical non-religious reasons.

Answer

I am for it, but to each their own! Good luck!

Answer

I have 2 boys. My husband and my boys are. It was one of those things of my husband is so why not 🤷🏻‍♀️ Each time I had an inner struggle handing my boy over for the procedure and finally did the research. If baby 3 was a boy he would be our first to be uncircumcised. Like others have said, it isn’t medically necessary and completely for looks. It is being phased out and I have had medical professional tell me they wish they didn’t circumcise their own sons as well. You teach you son how to clean themselves just like any other body part so the cleanliness argument is out the door. When circumcising, the boys losses 10,000-20,000 nerve endings just from cutting that little peace of skin. Lastly, boys were created with forskin so it is intended to be there. It has a purpose. 
My first is more than likely going to need to another surgery when he turns 10. I’m unsure if it was due to circumcision or not but now his private parts are inside and he has to push it out to clean. It wasn’t like that  when he was born just have after he was circumcised and started to get his little fat rolls.

Answer

Yes. We are doing it (even though my husband isn't circumcised)....to make a long story short, several years ago my husband and I were having sex and I was on top...well his foreskin got pulled down and tore. There was blood everywhere and it took probably about two years for him to feel comfortable having sex (I would say we had sex maybe 4 times in that 2 years) he is still nervous about it happening again and it normalized us not being intimate very frequently. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, even if it isn't very common....I'm not going to put my son in the position for it to be a possibility  😕

Answer

Boys are born perfect too. To think otherwise is kind of crazy. Watch sex & circumcision on YouTube and medical training videos. It’s medically unnecessary and arguably damaging. Any argument for it can be easily debunked. Let your sons first days be peaceful and pain free.
