Answer 1

I am against infant and child circumcision. Beyond that, if you want to do a stupid thing to your own body, go right ahead. There are no good reasons to circumcise but lots of good reasons NOT to. First, lets address the "look like Dad" reason. Ask your husband when was the last time he saw HIS father's penis? This matching penis's thing is really disturbing. Even if the kid sees Dad's penis he's going to notice that its much bigger and hairier before he notices that Dad has been cut. What if the boy has brown hair and Dad is blond? Are you going to dye it? Of course not. If Jr. asks just exlain that when Dad was born they performed an operation on his penis and thats why it looks different, but because it hurts and its not nessecary you decided not to cut him. Next, cleanliness- circumcision actually makes it HARDER to clean an infant's penis! With an intact boy the foreskin is fused to the head until sometime in late childhood. All you do is wipe the outside like a finger. By contrast, with a circ'd boy you have to clean the wound carefully, cover it in vaseline, maybe even make sure that the raw edge doesn't stick to the head (I've heard of MANY parents having to do that months after the procedure.) It is far simpler for a man to roll back his foreskin and rub his penis clean (even feels good!) than for a woman to clean here vulva and labia. Female children learn to clean themselves just fine, male children are no different. On top of that, it HURTS! can you imagine having an open wound on your genitals while wearing diapers? Ouch! For the actual procedure many doctors still don't use ANY pain control, those that do often give inadequate pain control, and the baby's get nothing for pain at all while the wound heals. An adult undergoing this procedure would be given more than adequate anesthesia and heavy pain relif medicines for the healing period. Just because he "won't remember it" is no reason to inflict that type of pain on a child. An alzhiemer's patient wouldn't remember either, but we still give them adequate pain relief. For those who say it doesn't hurt- they've done studies that show that not only do boys show great signs of distress during circumcision (through heart rate and respiration data), but circumcised boys show a much greater pain response when given routine vaccinations 6 MONTHS after the procedure than girls and intact boys. A baby that sleeps through the procedure is likely in shock from the pain. There are NO health benefits to circumcision. No health organization in the world reccomends it for infants and the US is the only 1st world country that still routinely cuts newborn boys. Some studies have shown a decrease in the amount of UTI's in the first year of life in circ'd boys, but the Data is widely thought to be flawed (most babies included who were intact were intact simply because they were ALREADY sickly). Even if it is true, the UTI rate for little boys is about 1%. Girls get UTIs at a much higher rate and we treat them with anitbiotics, NOT surgery. In addition, a recent study suggests that there is a 12% increase in the risk of contracting MRSA in circumcised boys simply because it leaves an open wound on the body. MRSA is far deadlier than a UTI. This means that while 1 in 100 boys left intact may get a UTI, 12 out of 100 cut boys are at risk to contract MRSA. It does NOT prevent cancer, HPV, or HIV. Good hygenie and condom use have much higher rates of prevention for cancers and infections. In fact, HPV is almost universal in the american adult population which is, thats right, circumcised! Cutting your boy will not prevent him from getting any of those things. In america, where Circ rates have traditionally been high, we have much higher rates of genital cancers, HPV and HIV than in countries were circumcision is NOT practised. Furthermore, circumcision removes the most sensitive parts of the penis, which are located on the foreskin. By contrast, on a circ'd man his most sensitive spot is often his scar. Sexual disfunctions later in life have also been linked to circumcision. Your son should have plenty of intact peers (the circ rate is about 50% in america right now) and even if he doesn't teasing shouldn't be an issue. First, why would other kids be looking at your son's penis? By the time they are old enough to be changing together in school, no boy would want to be caught looking at another's penis! If he has big ears will you get them surgically reduced so he's not teased? Circumcision IS a surgical reduction. Second, if you educate your son about the benefits of being intact, he should be secure in his status. Finally, who is to say what women will or won't like better 20 years from now? Just because women seem to favor cut men at the moment doesn't mean they will in 20 years. And any woman who judges a man by his penis is not the sort of woman you want for your son anyway. In closing, if your son grows hating being intact, he can always get circumcised later, giving his full consent and with adequate pain relief. On the other hand, if he grows up hating being circumcised (and some men do), you can not ever replace the foreskin. Once it is amputated it is gone for good. This is not your decision to make. Leave the boy alone and be supportive of whatever decision he chooses for HIMSELF and HIS body when he is old enough to consent. -Neb

Answer 2

By the way, I just found out sth new last week. There is an organism called foregen, they are still discrete but are trying to develop new ways to restore and recreate the "lost foreskin". They are now into the research phase to see if that can work but are awaiting approval from I think there in the US and Italy...they are really thinking of recreating the foreskin you ahve lost from getting circumcised. Just have a look...you won't regret it!!

Answer 3

I don't agree that circumcision is necessarily a good thing. In some cases, yeah, it's good; in most, it doesn't benefit at all; and in some, it harms.

It's painful and can be seen as an invasion of a person's body rights. Usually (like 95+% of the time) there's nothing wrong with the foreskin anyway, and it's really easy to keep clean. So there shouldn't even be an issue, especially in today's modern societies where showering isn't a problem.

And some guys (a growing number I've read) feel like they've been cheated because they were circumcised without a say in the matter. Some guys feel harmed by it. And so they turn to non-surgical foreskin restoration to regain what a functional foreskin would feel and look like, though the original nerves and such are lost. Those guys have a lot of patience and determination, because it takes a long time to stretch out and grow the skin so it covers the glans (penis head) again. But I've heard/read that those who do, never regret it, so it must be good for them.

So yeah, I think circumcision should an individual's personal choice, not to be made for by someone else. Maybe in the case of religion . . . but that can be iffy. Besides, sometimes bad things happen. See links for a better idea.

Answer 4

I'm uncircumcised, and so from personal experience can tell you that the foreskin has more nerve endings than most parts of the body. Common sense will tell you that the areas used for sex have more - not less nerve tissue. As for hygeine just simple washing once a day is all that is necessary.
If I beleived in circumcision, it would be the original Biblical version - which is removing only a small piece of foreskin and leaving most of the foreskin in place. this was the religious covenant with God. Biblical circumcision is much closer to a natural penis than the circumcision we use today. Jewish Leaders abandoned the original form and made the process more extreme, because some of their circumcised males could easily pass for intact males.
If you actually take a few moments to think , it will dawn on you that other cultures use all the same arguments to support male circumcision as female circumcision. ALL the arguments are the same!!! Exactly the same , healthier , cleaner, looks better, just trying to make son/daughter look like their parents, don't want son/daughter to feel odd. So do you believe in both types ?

Why do WE call 1 type circumcision and the other type FGM genital mutilation. Both types involve the cutting of a child sexual organs without their consent. The Oldest cultures that we inherit this practice from see No Difference in the necessity of Male/Female circumcision . So the Original Idea was that this was a necessity for Males and Females...
Some types of female circumcision are more extreme, and some similar to male circumcision, cutting the same nerve endings for the same reasons... It would seem that they are equally valid or equally false .

Answer 5

Male Genital Mutilation purpose is to remove the foreskin to expose sensitive penis for continuous friction and focus brain on sex all the time
This sexual stimulation creates the first deadly sin (lust)
Circumcised male is lusty but ironically he lost 20000 special nerves and he can NEVER have NORMAL SEX because he does not have NORMAL SEX ORGANS, that result in failure to reach NORMAL orgasm and creates frustration and deprivation burst into Violence like in circumcised Americans, Jews and Muslims.
Circumcision was first invented as pagan sacrifice for the Whore of Babylon (goddess Ishtar), Egyptians called Her as goddess Isis and Jews worshipped Her as goddess Asherah and Jews invented myth of Abraham circumcision and they promote circumcision allover world because circumcision is the covenant between Satan's consort(fallen angel) and Jews(fallen nation) and it is the Beast Mark
Finally I'm MuslIM and I'm victIM, I would NEVER agree if I was asked my opinion.

Answer 6

I am circumcised because had no choice when was a baby. I am not sure what it be like not being circumcised. There are pros and cons from everyone what their preference is. I know is easier to keep clean and not smell all the time. It is more sensitive because the nerves are at the ends. I think the way they talk that guys are embarrassed at the locker room is a myth. Why and who cares what guys have in the locker room. I never experienced that. I know it needs to have surgery to reverse it or have it done. I would not want to take the chance the doctor cutting me there when not really necessary.

Answer 7

Well one time i was fliping through the tv channles and i saw that there were a whole lot of guys on the oprah show so i say what the hell there's no girl on the show,but it was cause she brought this docter name docter OZ and he talk to the men about guys stuff (the guys wife's were backstage) anyways then this guy said is sex better with a circumcised or non circumcised guy.And the docter said that studies have found that it's uncircumcised guys say sex is better,and he explain that because when they circumcised they take a a part of the skin that has is kinda senative and it's feels better for both parenters.

Answer 8

I disagree with it being done in infants. It has been proven over and over again that there are NO significant health benefits that make it need to be done, and that the complications are often far more common and worse than all the things it is supposed to prevent against. (For example, 1 in 100 intact boys will get a urinary tract infection, whereas 10 in 100 circumcised boys will get meateal stenosis.) Cleanliness, hygiene, diseases, looks, conformity etc. are all the normal reasons trotted out for this but none of them are adequate for removing a normal body part, pre-emptively, without proper anaesthetic and without consent of the owner. And yes many guys regret it was done and try to restore but they never get it back. By contrast guys left intact can get circumcised at any age, if they so choose for their own aesthetic purposes or whatever.

Answer 9

I agree with circumsizion in certain rare circumstances. For example, there being a medical defect with the foreskin which may cause long-term harm to the male. I'm not entirely in agreement with the religious reasons for it, but its not my place to talk people into forsaking their personal beliefs.
Circumsizion done for appearance, cleanliness, tradition, or conformity, particularly on newborns, is just plain wrong.

Answer 10

I say it is just a religious thing and it would be mandatory if you're Muslim or Jewish, but we that are Christians why submit our kids to the pain of circumcision?

I say that if you wash your penis properly when you shower then your penis will be as clean as a circumcided one.
