Sexual Health If you had a son would you have him circumsized as a baby or allow that to be his choice when he's older?

Also why do you think circumcision is more popular and do you think it has more to do with cosmetic reasons?

I think I'm going to have a really hard time picking an MHO... all the opinions from what I'm getting all seem really good and do have valid points

What Girls & Guys Said
21 66I am not circumcized and I not sure I would not to be now because it would hurt and disfigure me too much.
I would consult the mother. I am biased towards circumcision, even though I'm uncut myself. If the decision was solely mine, I would give him the option. I would also teach him how to keep his foreskin retracted at all times. I would not police him; I would give him options.
If he does make a choice, I would turn his circumcision into a rite of passage. I would get circumcised about 1 year prior to him.
if male babies are circumsized without their consent, we should also circumsize vaginas too jus to be fair, lets see how u like it, deal with the consequences of something u can't control
Why a dislike? Are you retardrd? I make a valid point... Vagina cutting is no different from circumsizion.. why does your stupid ass not understand that?
It's mutilation either way
I had a boy and yes I did have him circumcised (I am as well). if you are going to do it, doing it at birth is much better/less painful.
For me it looks better and is easier to maintain (although I have never had to maintain an uncircumcised one, just my perception).

It should never be the parents choice
Yes, I wouldn’t want him getting potentially ostracized for not having a circumcised penis when he gets older.
Id make him get circumcised sooner than later
I won't control what My son does with his body, however depending on his choices will I like him or not. He's still my son but I can choose to dislike him
Circumcision is a Jewish trick, and I would not subject my son to it.
uhmmm stop being so anti cementic
@emmaaylalover19 You're from Turkey and telling me not to be anti-semetic?
@emmaaylalover19 semitic*
as a jew, im likely going to have him circumcised as a baby... i NEED to have a son too because im an only child, and male
it's a cosmetic thing. why would you cut skin like that off your baby unless you needed to for medical reasons. it is unnecessary
It is compulsory for Jews when they are babies. For Muslims, it is compulsory until a certain age.
It hurts like hell when done at an older age. Babies never know it.
On the contrary, babies feel pain as much as anyone.
@DevinAM I had both of my sons done as babies and neither of them cried. The process is very simple when done a few days after birth. Not so simple when done years later...
Circumcision is healthier
Circumcision isn't popular everywhere. In Europe, Central and South America most men aren't circumcised ( less than 20%) . I will not circumcised my son.
Toughy. Probably not. I’m personally glad to be circumsiced, but it should the persons choice.
I would circumcise my son
yes circumcised is better
yes, to circumcised, I am, my father was, and my son is, Little boys don't want to look diferent than "Daddy"
I am kind of double minded on that. It's easy to circumcise at younger age. And again I want it to be his decision.
