When a male child is more there is a 'flap' of skin that covers the 'gland' (head) of the penis. It has been tradition for thousands of years to remove this 'flap' sometime after birth. The jewish society actually have a religious ceremony and a Rabi performs the 'surgery'.
It is done for various reason and there is some debate as to the need and/or consequences of not doing so. Some believe (and I am in this category) that it is more hygeinic to be circumsized as there is less chance for infection and the penis is easier to keep clean.
There is also a school of thought that says it really doesn't matter (health wise) but an uncircumsized penis can be more pleasurable for the males' sexual partner. That I have no clue about.
Hope this helps and answers the question.

Most boys in the U.S. are circumsized when they are born, or soon after. It is the process of removing the foreskin around the penis. It is said to be more sanitary, and it also has religious connotations. Hope that helps!

It means that part of thier foreskin (the layer of skin that covers the penis) has been cut off or cut back around the time they were born. Not all men have this, but most Americans do. An uncut penis is often called intact. If you look up circumcision on the internet, there are sometimes pictured or diagrams, but they are sometimes very graphic.

ok, even as a boy says they are circumsized, it means they were given the exterior on the great of their penis reduce off. it is thoroughly regularly occurring, and it is commonly performed, with decision of the moms and dads, to keep from getting infections. in the different case, that's a lifelong interest to sparkling less than the exterior, and different issues. etc.

It means that when they are infants, mostly before the age of 1 month, they have the foreskin of their penis's cut off. I recommend doing this, because it will save your son much humiliation when he gets older. Plus, if you are of any religion, most people get it done because their religion speaks positively of it.

How old are you? It's performed for cleanliness or religious reasons. The doctor cuts away the foreskin from the boy's penis.
