do all guys have to be circumsized?

Question

if not, why do they do it?

Answer 1

Nope. Actually, when you're not circumcised you require no lubricant as the foreskin acts as a sheath and the skin is pulled down upon penetration (leaving you looking, well, circumcised and more ably stimulated).

Answer 2

Circumcision was the Hebrew way of showing the covenant theey had with God. But the answer is no.

However, in the Bible-- God's command was not to circumcise until the 8th day. In the 1950's, scientists discovered that a baby boy by the 8th day after birth, naturally produced the clotting factor in the blood stream. Something the Hebrews learned five thousand years ago-- from someone older and wiser!

Answer 3

I got circumcised when I was 12. I love the new look. It makes your penis look a lot better. It doesn't smell anymore. It has no more smell at all. You don't have to wash it as much. It looks a lot better. It has a well defined shape as opposed to it being an ugly anteater. I think a lot of people who are opposed to it (the guys) are too friggin scared or pussie to get it clipped. What's the big deal? Just go to a surgeon and get it clipped. It will only hurt for like 2 weeks, but girls will respect you if you do it. They will know you are a brave man and one who cares about his appearance and hygiene.

Answer 4

No not all, they say it's mostly a hygiene thing. I decided not to have my son circumcised when he was a baby because that was something we just didn't do in my country, my brothers never had it done, my husband never had it done so I said I was not going to do that to my son but last month he had to get it done because we were dealing with infections for three months, the foreskin would not pull back so it could be cleaned, the infection would not go away so I went ahead and had it done and he's four and it was the the hardest thing I have ever been threw in my life for me and for him, it took about three weeks for it to heal completely, so if anyone is going to have it done it's best when they are young, it's very painful when your older.

Answer 5

Being circumcised was a religious "rite of passage" because of an Old Testament directive that those who were born male to families who believed in God were to be circumcised as a symbol of sacrifice.

In more modern-day, circumcision is completed for hygienic purposes. However, being circumcised is definitely a choice, not a directive.

Answer 6

If you are Jewish, you have to.

Many American girls like them circumsized, cuz it's a norm. I dont' knwo about other countries.

Answer 7

It is the parent's choice. I have 3 boys, and i wouldn't have put them through the pain for nothing. My sister did her 2 boys, and they cried for a week everytime they used the bathroom. It was terrible. I am against it.

Answer 8

The answer is no. It is derived from a Hebrew custom. Your parents decide when you are born. Mostly it is done to prevent potential sanitary problems.

Answer 9

It was a fad many years ago...I think it's gone out pretty much now. Amputation is not advisable. Hygeine is nonsense, or women would do it too...maintenance is plenty sufficient.

Answer 10

Not.

They do it because they're either jewish or American. Most everywhere else around the world men aren't circumcised.
