What do you think about circumcision?

January 7th, 2009 by cfz

Me and my boyfriend were thinking about having kids, and we found ourselves talking about circumcision. I don't think its right, but he says that its his son too and he would want him to be. Most people tell me that its not the parents choice at all and we should let him decide.

What do you think?

I'm glad I got mine when I was a baby. I'm told it really sucks as an adult, so letting him choose might not be the best. They say there is no real medical advantage but I disagree. We should not discount the wisdom of the Ancients. They did things for a reason.

Have your kid circumcised. Trust me, he might not actually thank you, but inside he will. Circumcision makes it easier to clean your penis, as well as it is just much more comfortable than having that extra unneeded foreskin there. Plus, it has been shown that circumcision may help prevent STDs. Circumcision doesn't really have anything negative to it, so really I don't see why not do it. Have it done as a baby. Kids don't develop any sense of memory until they are around 2 years old at the earliest. Have it done while he doesn't remember it, don't let him decide later on that he wants to do it when he will remember it, and it will be a lot more difficult.

I think it is a barbaric practice which many of the reasons that are cited for doing it have been proven to be unnecessary . FIRST the child is strapped down with no anesthesia and the then he is operated on while awake. If you don't think this cause some sort of psychic trauma think again. Many doctors have come out against the practice. In some instace this is tdone when the child is just a few hours old. There have been stories of infants being mutilated by botched circumcison. "As God made him is the story of one such young boy. His surgery was so messed up the doctor convinced his parents to raise him as a girl. Long story short in the end he took his life. The hygenie issue is simple teach your son on how toclean himself andallwill be well.

No offense, but this should be a no-brainer. There is a reason practically EVERY baby boy is circumsized, don't you think? I think you are looking too much into this--making something that is actually nothing into a big issue. My younger brother and his wife just had a baby and they were having the same dilemma as you. They decided to have him circumsized, I am glad because it is healthier that way.

I know it is cleaner and I think it even gives them less of a chance of getting some kind of cancer. Google it and/or talk to the doc.

Do it, safer and cleaner. Unless you want your child to go through a VERY painful surgery in his later years.

I think circumcision is right for males, but wrong for females.

Whether it is right or not should be left up to the parents, and NOONE ELSE. As a parent, it is not only your right but is your responsibility to raise your child according to your standards.

For whatever reason you choose (religion, tradition, medical reasons, or just personal decision) it is your right. For a child, it is up to the parents to make these important decisions concerning their life, the same way you decide about filling in his cavities, raising him healthy, removing his tonsils, piercing her ears, or cutting his hair. It is a very obnoxious idea to � �let the child� � decide. Children are incapable of making completely rational decisions, and will usually make decisions that directly benefit them. This is the reason parents exist. Put a bowl of pasta salad, and a bowl of chocolates and candies in front of them to eat, and I� �m sure they will make the � �right� � choice.

Most of the myths about circumcision are false. Many studies found no correlation in sensitivity between circumcised and uncircumcised penises including the famous Masters and Johnson. Many men who had late circumcisions testify better sensitivity, and the same is vice versa. The internet is full of unreliable sources based solely on opinion, and you cannot take any random blog off any site as solid proof. As far a pain, your child WILL feel pain and he will cry. He will cry the same way he will when he gets his first cut, or when he falls on his behind, or when he� �s hungry. He will cry the same way he did when he was born. Babies will cry any time they feel pain or an unwanted change. This is normal and doesn� �t always mean you are doing something wrong. When born, a baby� �s penis is undeveloped and therefore it will not be so sensitive. If you wait until the child is grown, or when it is developed it will relatively be A LOT more painful, and be tons more traumatizing. It might also bring more complications.

Circumcision isn� �t a necessary procedure, but there ARE benefits to it. Ask a qualified doctor and he will give you unbiased explanations. Many will say uncircumcised is the way GOD naturally made it, but many could also argue that GOD is the one who started this tradition. It has been done for thousand of years, and will continue to happen.

Like I said before, as a parent it is your right to make this choice, so don� �t listen to anyone else. Think about why you want to do it and if you feel it is necessary, go for it. If not, then don� �t. If he hates you for this, and discards the fact that you raised him, fed him, took care of him and put him through school, then so be it.

obviously, don't circumcise a female. that is mutilation.

as a mature woman I slightly prefer a sexual partner to be circumcised, although it doesn't matter that much.

I have heard that circumcision dulls/lessens sexual sensations for the male although i have never heard anyone to really complain (probably because they can't compare)

If you let the child decide when he is older, be aware that it is a painful experience.

The other thing is that, the human body is a remarkable piece of intricate machinery...is there perhaps a reason for the penis being the way it is naturally? Should we interfere with natural biology?
(sorry if i just caused more questions :P)

Whether to circumcise a son or leave him intact is an important decision that you should research thoroughly, when the time comes.

I believe that it is an unnecessary and irreversible procedure, and personally I wouldn� �t do it to my son. It is a myth that uncircumcised penises are unclean and prone to infection. Have these people never heard of a shower?!

The American Academy of Pediatrics say medical research undertaken � �is not sufficient to recommend routine circumcision.� � They add that � �it is not essential to the child� �s wellbeing.� � Their British, Canadian and Australian counterparts also share the view that it is medically unnecessary.

The USA is the last developed country to still do it routinely though. In Europe, Australia, South America, Canada, and most of Asia, less than 20% of boys are circumcised. Nowadays the rate in the US is at an all-time low:

A major study published in the Journal of Pediatrics last year found that being circumcised does not markedly reduce the risk of common STDs:

Also, the AAP says it does not markedly reduce the risk of penile cancer (which less than 0.1% of uncircumcised men may get) or UTIs (which less than 1% of uncircumcised boys may get).

This website explains some of the protective and sexual benefits of keeping a boy intact:

The overwhelming majority of men who aren� �t circumcised are glad they still have their foreskin and most never have any problems with it!

circumcision is barbaric. I would never do that to my son. that piece of skin is there for a reason, i dont know what that reason is but im against circumcision. and if you get an infection because you cant clean yourself correctly then you deserve to get an infection. i never got an infection .

hat is stupid let the the kid decide how would u tell goo goo ga ga any it's a hard decision no yes or no ansewer if uncircumcised it's a better chace of catching

I don't think it's right to do, I also think it should be up to the boy to decide when he grows up. There are no medical reasons to do it and most guys never get it done.

For hygiene and health purposes is highly recommended, the problem is that is something that we unconsciously associate to jews and for jews its a ritual, im catholic, im circumcised... and here in mexico is something very usual among all ppl.

I had it done when I was nine and it hurt like a *****. Even though they gave me a shot for pain before, I could feel the doctor cutting and it hurt. I could not urinate without pain for about three weeks.

Circumcision makes you less prone to infections, and is cleaner.
