Answer 1

CIRCUMCISION IS VERY BENEFICIAL, its cleaner and several research bodies have concluded that circumcised men have less risk of contracting STD's such as AIDS-HIV or herpes.

Uncircumcised penises are difficult to keep clean, and more prone to infections and penile cancer, studies have shown.
A circumcised penis is naturally clean and virtually free from urinary infection. You will not have to worry again with careful washing of your penis.

Is it NOT true that the AAP (American Academy of Paediatrics) does not recommend circumcision. They simply say they leave the decision to parents. But recently, and specially after the New Zealand study, the AAP has been discussing if it may be necessary to change their policy and recommend circumcision to all newborns as they used to do, so in the future we may see that the AAP advocates again circumcision.

About STD's:

As I said, several studies carried out by prestigious research bodies have concluded that uncircumcised penises are more prone to infections and contraction of STD's, including AIDS-HIV. Circumcised men have been proved to be up to seven times less likely to be infected than those who are uncircumcised. Have a look at this site: http://icuxbridge.icnetwork.co.uk/news/tm_objectid=14095142&method=full&siteid=53340&headline=-circumcision-protects-against-aids--name_page.html

As for women, studies also show that circumcision also protects female partners from AIDS-HIV and other STD's. Browse this article: http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/Press_releases/2006/02_08_06.html

About sensitivity of a circumcised penis:

No medical or physiological study has proved that circumcision reduces sensitivity, opposed to common belief. It is completely FALSE that circumcision reduces penis sensitivity. The American Academy of Paediatrics (AAP) confirms this on their web site; have a look at: http://www.aap.org/pubed/zzzjzmemh4c.htm

Circumcision is an easy and nowadays *painless* procedure, which has many benefits, and virtually no risks.
Circumcision is NOT an amputation. Circumcision is NOT comparable at all to female circumcision, which is something completely different.

Circumcision rates are INCREASING nowadays, both in the United States and overseas. Many African and South American countries with little circumcision tradition are starting to promote the procedure to help to reduce the AIDS-HIV infection rates.

Finally, this site has a lot of useful and *unbiased* information. Make sure you have a good look: http://www.circinfo.net

Answer 3

they say it doesn't matter, but it really is easier for the child later if you circumcize it as a baby. I work in a hospital and we see so many circumcisions on adults it's ridiculous. it's a little extra work for a week or so but no big deal.

really, though, a little boy should look like his dad. if dad is circumcized, do it. if he isn't, don't feel like you have to.

(and God put it there, but part of his covenant with Abraham was that males be circumcized...so not really good advice that he meant it to be there...)

Answer 4

There are two types of herpes simplex virus: HSV-1 and HSV-2. Both virus types can cause sores around the mouth (herpes labialis) and on the genitals (genital herpes). Cold sores are caused by the herpes simplex virus (HSV).
Cold sores sometimes called fever blisters, are groups of small blisters on the lip and around the mouth. The skin around the blisters is often red, swollen, and sore. The blisters may break open, leak a clear fluid, and then scab over after a few days. They usually heal in several days to 2 weeks.
The herpes simplex virus usually enters the body through a break in the skin around or inside the mouth. It is usually spread when a person touches a cold sore or touches infected fluid—such as from sharing eating utensils or razors, kissing an infected person, or touching that person's saliva. A parent who has a cold sore often spreads the infection to his or her child in this way. Cold sores can also be spread to other areas of the body.
Luckly there is a cure for herpes https://tr.im/68d90

Answer 5

EVeryone has different views. Really it's your choice. Being Roman Catholic I grew up believing circumcision was done to prevent disease. So it was very common. My husband isnt circumcised, so when I had my son, although I wanted him done his father talked me out of it as well as the doctor. My doctor told me their are studies out today that state it is safer to not circumcise you boys, for the foreskin and secretions under the foreskin help prevent disease and infection. also Circumcision is rather expensive these days. It's really your choice.

Answer 6

i wouldn't do it after seeing my sone go through it i complatly regret the decision. you need to research it find out how they do it where you are going to deliver and make a decision together but for me they actually gave my son only something sweet to take him mind off it...yeah liked that helped if they were cutting away at your skin down there! and strapped him down arm adn legs and he screamed and screamed and there was nothing I could do about it short of make them stop mid way which isn't a good idea! I was in tears and wish we would have never done it. God intended that to be there or he wouldn't have put it there. And no it's not true that they are more at risk for any sort of infection...do you own research and do what feels right!

Answer 7

Hey :] I trust you. I have sooo many names on my list for a little woman, however up to now, most effective my sons title on my boys record LOL! Boys names are lots tougher to search out nicer ones. I admire Oliver and Ollie as a nickname. :] x

Answer 8

If I had had a little boy I would have had him circumcized just mainly for hygiene issues.

Answer 9

Well I just witnessed a set of twins being circumsized and they numb them first and they aren't in any real pain. There is hardly any bleeding and I suggest talking it over and doing research.

Answer 10

My husband had a good answer for this - a boy should look like his father so if daddy is circumcised, so should his son be.
