Serious question for uncircumcised men......?

Question

My husband and I did not circumcise our son and we were wondering if there is any "special care" that we need to be doing for him ( he is 1yr). Also I have had 2 people tell me that I need to practice streching it so the skin will retract when his older but I was under the immpression that this was unneccesary. I do not have anyone to ask and could use some practical advice from some in same situation THANKS

No offense to posters but I feel routine circumcision is not a medical neccessary procedure and is basiclly genital mutilation, I am asking this question to other uncircumcised males not for others to pass judgement.

Answer 1

I am now 25 and am in the army the reason why i say that is because i have to go for about two weeks without a shower in the field and my penis is still free from infection. When i was old enough to masturbate i noticed i could not pull my foreskin back all that way but over time it does stretch and now i can pull it all the way back. The head of the penis will remain sensitive which is great for sex but if you are considering getting it done the younger the better its up to you. The simple answer to your question is no you don't need to do anything at all.

Answer 2

No special care is really necessary. Don't retract the foreskin because sometimes it can't be retracted till sometime during puberty, and if forcefully retracted earlier could cause pain and problems that may actually lead to a genuine reason for circumcision.

Basically, just wash the outside the way you wash another other part of his body. Water and mild soap. Don't use strong soaps or overly scented soaps because sometimes that can get in under the foreskin and cause redness or irritation. For more detailed info, refer to the link.

Answer 3

i have in no way heard of that both. i'm uncircumcised and that i have not had a situation. He may have some form of uncommon difficulty the position is foreskin is too tight, yet maximum adult males who've a foreskin don't have those issues. i'm confident your boys are time-honored. BTW, in case you probably did not understand (because distinct folk do not), the vast majority of adult males in Europe, Asia, South united states and Australia are also uncircumcised too. So uncircumcised adult males represent maximum folk international.

Answer 4

I'm uncircumcised. There is nothing you need to do to his penis. Nature will take care of it. You should not try to force the foreskin back - this may leave scarring and actually make it more difficult for him to retract it when he is an adult.

Normal cleaning is all you need to do - when the foreskin becomes retractable, help him understand that he needs to pull it all the way back each day when washing. That's it!

Feel free to email me if you have more questions - and thank you for not mutilating your child.

Answer 5

For circumcision you're right.
About your baby it never is early for some useful actions.
The "special care" you should observe concern the foreskin.
During the bath try slowly and gently to retract a bit the foreskin.
If necessary, do it step by step until the glans will be completely uncovered. Then every time you wash him, should clean delicately the prepuce too. Try to don't touch it with the fingers because it's too sensible.
BTW. Verify the testicles from time to time.
That's all for now.

Answer 6

You can research this online. I believe that you should start pulling the foreskin back to clean, but I know you're not supposed to force it back at too young of an age because you can damage the tissue.

Answer 7

NO special care needed! Do not practice stretching nothing, it is not necessary and may do harm. Foreskin is not a DEFECT that needs special care, it is the way the body should be and it is serves many necessary functions.
And congratulations on your choice, you must be very intelligent and educated!!!!!!!!

MOTHERS, the feelings of mothers who observed the circumcision of their babies. Go here if you have the courage:

In the US circumcision started to stop boys from masturbating; they will take much longer to reach the orgasm, and the orgasm will not be as intense, but that will not stop them.
Nowadays the “medical” reasons to circumcision are for Doctors to make MONEY!!!

RELIGION--If God intended boys to not have "skin" He would have made them so.
http://www.nocirc.org/religion/

HYGIENE--Use a new invention, soap and water!!! Women produce much more “smegma”, all kinds of discharges, wetness, and smells; because of physiologic and anatomical reasons, and how would you feel if they cut your vulva lips??? Women, why don’t you answer my question, are you afraid? Baby girls are more likely to get urinary tract infections and no one suggests we surgically alter them at birth to reduce the risks! Just one of many double standards and laws that always treat men worse.

MEDICAL REASONS--No medical reasons. A extremely small chance of a complication do not justify the removal of the foreskin, if so, why don't we remove the tonsils and the appendix when a child is born, and the chance of complications of the tonsils and the appendix is much greater. And for infections of all the organs, including female organs, use a new invention called antibiotics. Talking about complications, in fact many baby boys die each year from circumcision and related complications.
EVEN if phimosis occurs, instead of chopping it off like barbarians!, use Conservative Treatments like:
-Topical Medication(non-traumatic and non-destructive)
-Dilation and Stretching(non-traumatic and non-destructive)
-Combination treatment(non-traumatic and non-destructive)
-Preputioplasty is the medical term for plastic surgery of the prepuce or foreskin(many methods).
If you want more detail on Conservative Treatments, go here:

And now they invented a new reason to make money, the risk of STD in uncircumcised men. Well actually uncircumcised men have more protection, but in practical terms that protection means nothing, because circumcised or not, if you have sex without protection and your partner have an STD you will be infected FOR SURE! That means, it is just one more stupid and desperate reason in order to make money with circumcisions.

SEX--Foreskin actually enhances the sexual experience for men because it constantly moves over the head of the penis causing more friction and pleasure. Men will also lose much sensitivity to the glans if circumcised.
Circunsized men will have to deal with disconfot and dry glans.
The foreskin have those functions: protective, erogenous, sensory, and sexual physiologic. After all, why would you want to lose all of those “Meissner corpuscles”, the same nerve complexes which provide fine touch to the fingertips?
It is there for many reasons, that is how a man should be(it is natural).
If women like it better circumcised because it looks better(strange, not natural) or gives them more sexual pleasure(strange, not natural), then too bad, they do not have the right! All men do not like mutilated vulvas, and all men like breasts with nipples, they do not like mutilated breasts, etc, etc, etc, because that is the way those organs are supposed to be, it is natural. Interesting, isn’t?!!!

If that was a common practice to do that to baby girls, all the women would be in a big uproar about it(and men too!, men are not like women), but it’s ok to mutilate little boys. The great majority of the ones that agree with circumcision are women for their stupid selfish reasons. Even court cases reported in which mother and father fight because the mother wants to mutilate the son, it is always the mother!. You women should be ashamed to that to your son. Men that are not circumcised, will not get circumcised when adults, they would scream, kick, fight and run, if someone tries to mutilate their privates area, just like you women would run too if someone tried to do that to your labia. Men that where circumcised do not realize what they lost because never had one, and most of them that do realize try to justify it so they do not feel bad about it. Many circumcised men feel very bad emotionally because of what was done to them to such a private area.
It is mutilation of defenceless children in the most private spot, genital mutilation.
It is cruel and barbaric.
It is a human rights violation.
It is not the parent’s decision; it is the parents decision if they want to abuse him, rape him, or to kill him?.
I do not even agree that it is ok if an adult man wants to get circumcised. I think it is wrong, because if a man wants to lose a finger, the Doctor can not do that to him. Think about it, think, think. And by the way, adult men that decide to get circumcised, do it because they know most women like it, they just do it to be more accepted by women.
I think it is just like slavery and all other barbaric acts of the past, it was accepted because it was common practice or tradition, everyone accepted slavery without questioning the facts, but it is not accepted anymore in a modern and fair and civilized society. Circumcision must not be allowed, BY LAW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 8

WELL DONE for not doing it!
i have never understood why Americans do such a horrible thing.
well i have never ahd a problem with my foreskin and i dont believe there are any special things you need to do to a child as it will grow with the child!

Answer 9

I think you, your husband and your son, would be FAR better served by researching this question on medical sites, and then definately discussing this with your pediatrian.

Good luck.

Answer 10

Great, I'm glad y'all chose that route for that child. now he can decide later in life whether do cut or not cut. I wish I had that choice.

yes, the stretching is needed to prevent the situation called phimosis, where the foreskin WON'T stretch. Also teach the child to clean himself properly with each bath or shower. the accumulation of bacteria and unclean hygiene will cause segma of the worst kind.
