Would you circumcise your son(s)?

Question

This is a question to everyone on here, would you circumcise your sons? Explain why

BoxerDikManning · Accepted Answer

Hell no! The reason is this: First off it is a silly, bronze-age religious ritual and secondly, there is a large amount of evidence that shows we lose a TON of nerve endings. Men can also have the tip of their penis get dried up, cracked, or "Frayed" at the edges. Especially after lots of masturbation during your teen years and throughout your life, even with lubes.

Okay, I'll say it, smegma, girls produce 30% more than guys, so this should NOT be an issue. You keep clean, and it won't be. We live in a 1st world country, most of us, and even thsoe of us that don't can stil largely bathe every day. Safe sex and you won't risk infection. Also, I wish I had my foreskin back, I've heard from several women who have had both say that they like the feeling of an uncircumcised d*** better. I have heard a few say the opposite, though.

Finally, there are accidents in circumcision, and for decades it has been very painful, in many areas it still is, yes there are safer methods. But I've seen a few and the babies cry and cry and cry. It's very traumatic for them. It's also wrong. Iti s wrong to take a part of the human body off of someone when they are completely incapable of making the decision one way or another. If a man wants to get it done late,r let him! There are getting more and more advanced at doing it, and it can be done realtively painlessly, they can put you under, etc. Getting the foreskin back, however, is much more of an issue. Although there are some ways to do it now. Check out Penn and Teller's Bullsh*t! episode (at topdocumentaryfilms.com) on circumcision, I think it's season 3. Not sure though. Anyway, it's simply wrong to commit unecessary surgery (even minor as this) on a human being who hasn;t the choice. It's wrong.

It also makes sex far less pleasurable, it makes pre-mature ejaculation much more likely in some cases, and the tip of the penis is meant to have that skin protecting it. I know I wish I had my foreskin protecting it. Most girls who really care about you or who want to f*** you won't give a sh*t, even if they say they do. If they really won't have sex with you because you have a foreskin, dump the broad. It'd be like saying "oh your lips are big or the skin of your clit bothers me, you need that surgery that gets all that looking nice and pretty" I mean how shallow arewe? For f***'s sake...

Yes I would, the girls don't understand and freak out about "mutilation" but it really isn't.

Every circumcised guy I know loves it and is glad that their parents did it and that they don't have to go through it at a later age.

Idk. Its seen as much healthier and if a doctor confirms that then probably, yes. Also its the norm in my country and I wouldn't want my son to feel insecure with girls here because he doesn't have a normal d*** and I wouldn't want him to have to go through the pain of experiencing it as a teen or adult. Ideally I would leave it up to choice but if I find from my medical professional that cleanliness and health are risks then its a definite yes. And I feel like my son would be pissed if I set him up to have to cut his d*** up at an adult age.

Hopefully I won't have sons anyway but this is a legit concern if I do

No. But when they turn 16 I would offer it to them, because at that age I figure they could decide for themselves. The reason I would wait till 16 and not till 18 and they can do what they want is because circumcision can be expensive, and if they are 16 I could pay for it for them. Also because at that age they would most likely know whether they want to be or not.  I don't think I can decide what is right for a baby boy who is yet to figure out the difference. I think he should be able to decide for himself.

I would let my husband decide. But if it came down to it I probably would. *I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE THINKS OF MY OPINION. DON'T BOTHER COMMENTING WHETHER MALE OR FEMALE.

BeccaBearx · Answer

Yeah, I'd circumcise my son, my partner would circumcise his so we both agree we would, it's just my opinion but I do respect and understand that other people would rather their son/s have foreskin, but in my opinion I'd circumcise my son.

I'm probably gonna get sh*t for this but I don't care!

Animal_Girl · Answer

No, I wouldn't. His body, his penis, his choice. His uncircumcised (probably future) daddy would likely agree with me.

Olivia9 · Answer

I wouldn't because it is genital mutilation. also it decreases the amount of pleasure men have during sex. When you have foreskin you have a lot more sensitivity when erect. I doubt that guys would care what women thought about their penis at first if they knew that they would have a better overall experience if they were uncut. To me its the equivalent to having women get their clits cut off. I personally like uncircumcised guys and I'm from the U.S to me it looks better.

Hopefull83 · Answer

i've heard that blowjobs are more fun for guys when they are not circumsized. Also, it's not really neccessary, so why do it?

On the other hand, I've only ever been with circumsized guys and really like it.

Cool-Relax · Answer

I voted no, but if their father wanted them circumcised, I wouldn't care. I don't feel that strongly about it either way, honestly.

Butterfly_kisses09 · Answer

No. I wouldn't do that because I think it's pointless and circumcision has no purpose...IMO

kewkewsie · Answer

I would let my husband decide that.

BeerME · Answer

Probably, it's generally the norm in the US and there are actually some health risks that can arise when left uncircumcised. There is also an increased risk of cancer in men who are circumcised post infancy so it's best to get it out of the way early.

star709 · Answer

No way, I'm not going to mess with that,  if it was needed doctors would make it mandatory

Brando · Answer

Possibly. But really, I just came here because I smelled controversy :)

pepper01 · Answer

i wouldnt. its there for a reason and it makes guys ultra senstive down there so better sex for him when he grows up. plus I work in the mother baby unit and see it all the time. not the greatest site lol

iFiesta · Answer

No. It's pointless and cruel. It's not my choice whether my son has a little extra skin or not, nor is it anyone else's for their children. If he wants it cut, he can get it cut, but that would be HIS choice, not mine.

Plus if you get circumcised you lose a lot of feeling there because the skin has to toughed up without protection. Pointless.

DocClassic · Answer

without a doubt, no question about it. cause I've met people who wish they were circumsized  when they werent but never the other way around. and that would suck to have to get it done when you are old enough to actually know what's going on. and really I just think its cleaner and better in general

sovetskii13 · Answer

I would not, because every man is born with the foreskin, so, I think that there is a good purpose for it. It serves as protection against whatever comes near the penis from external sources. But, it's his decision (When he is old enough). I would still say "No" if he ever asks for my opinion.

G-Daz · Answer

NO, I wouldn't because I don't believe in putting my own child through unecessary pain that could potentially ruin his life for no additional health benefit, i.e David Riemer and the 10,000 recorded deaths annually. The US is one of the only first world countries that still practice this old tradition that was originally focused on stopping men from masterbating (which hasn't worked...) 80% of the world currently are uncut and I believe you should give teh child the choice.

I have never heard a girl here complain about a guy being uncut because that is the norm, most are freaked out by a cut one because its completely something they are not used to while it is the opposite in the US (although the rate of circumcision has been reducing rapidly over the years there). I believe some people still link the moral to do it based behind the idea that they are doing their chidl a "deed", an uncut penis is almost impossible I found to not clean even without washing that particular area, I mean if a guy is a dirty f*** by default and he gets a circumcision to get cleaning, you think his penis gonna be different than him?.

The belief that being uncut means you have greater chance of catching an STD is seriously stupid, I mean I am not planning on having sex with someone with HIV, if you want to take the risk than its your fault. they think uncut have a greater chance just because the forskin will hold it, well if your dumb enough to have sex without a condom with a random girl on the street than your very likely to get it either way

I also find it disgusting that parents put their child through such a horrible unneccessary procedure that is completely not needed, 1 in 10,000 kids die from this annualy. If it was my child I wouldn't want to risk his life over something so unneccessary, if you have ever heard of David Reimer who was a healthy child who's parents decided to circumcize him as a baby. His penis got mutilated beyong repair and had to be removed. He was raised as a female and committedd suicide at the age of 38.

link Fast forward to 9:48 if you won't watch the whole thing, the process of circumcision is barberic and see for yourself what they go through, you want your child to have the same thing done?

Also take a look at this to see the rise of circumcision in America and how studies confirm no benefit and how it was reducing in comparison to the rest of the world link

The fact that you are asking this will not give very justified answers, most guys will just carry on the cycle because they are circumcised themself to make their child the same, a cut guy can't speak from the perspective of a guy who was uncut to say they have lost thousands of nerve endings that are in the foreskin and why its best to cut because they haven't had it

Lupianwolf · Answer

to all the people who answered you can't base your opinions on what your child wants, he may love it but he may also hate it, if he's in the latter what are you going to say sorry?

The medical benefits are poor, if he's a clean guy it will be clean

Girls need to stop putting there preferences for what they like into consideration, maybe just be more accepting of something instead of having it surgically removed, just listen to that logic

If your religious or do it for 'real' medical problems like phimosis then go ahead but don't automatically assume your child would want it for the other reasons

Thank god I live in the UK where it isn't widely practiced

TheGodEmperorLeto · Answer

No. And anyone who does is a horrible human being. If they want to get a circumcision themselves later, sure, but to hell with your stupidity thinking it's ok.

AmberChick · Answer

Circumcision is a religious practice.  Banning it is anti-semitic.  The baby feels absolutely no pain and heals.  Circumcision of a penis doesn't cut the penis off.  You are taking off a piece of skin.  It is a ritual.  Like I said, banning it is going back to the old days, the Middle Ages, where people were discriminated against for being a certain religion.  I thought we were more open-minded than that.
