I'm getting my son circumcised!
That's why I stay off Google so I don't watch those videos!
I think it's the better choice! That's my personal opinion!

So many people keep saying "why risk it" and  they "fear that [MAYBE] their son will end up with an infection down the road". I'm thinking you should google circumcisions gone wrong! It's terrible. Plus, like one lady said, they will never know the full extent of pleasure during sex when older. There are so many guys that have been circumsised and they cut off too much and their penis was never able to grow to it's full potential and would either hook to the left or the right. My husband has friends that were cut too much and it would hurt them so bad when they would get an errection because the skin would pull so tight and in some cases their skin would tare and bleed! Honestly, it's a risk either way but I would rather risk a cureable infection rather than risk my son live in embarrassment or some sort of pain because an unnecessary surgery scared him for life. Plus, I've seen it done in person as well though clinical rotations and I don't know what that one girl is talking about when she said it wasn't bad to watch at all. It was terrible! They put what is equivalent to asprin cream on the peanis "for pain" while a nurse holds the baby down as it screams and cries. No it's not a long surgery but it does mess with the babies neurotransmitters causing them to go into shock and into a traumatized state. It's also a fact that babies who have been circumsised have more troubles with breastfeeding. Not saying thats the case for every baby but it is a proven statistic.

My husband actually decided to have our son clipped and I fully agree..I don't want to take the chance of infection or any other problems ..even though they may not happen I fear what would happen if they did. Its a personal parent choice but its less traumatic for it to be done as a newborn then when he's 12 and gets an infection and has to medically have it clipped so I'd rather him never remember it then be traumatized. But again every parent chooses what they believe is best for their children ...

Its safer for your son , if he doesnt clean it right when hes older than he can get an infection,  most me today dont even remember having it done to them its the best way to prevent anything wrong in the future .

I say leave your son alone, let him make the decision. If thats something he wants done, he could do it. After all it is his body.

Also thought videos are unrealistic. We all freaked in school watching though videos and when you see the real thing your like really.  Why they would put that fear into women who make that decision?

Im having my son circumcised I see nothing wrong with it. And all my brother are circumcised so to me I dont want my son to feel different then the other boys. Not only that but some boys dont keep up with their cleaning and i dont want to risk it. I say its the mothers choice.

I'm not against not getting but I got my first and will get my second. I beleive medically it's more than worth it and my husband sexual is very sensitive. Nothing was ruined for that man. Only one of my brother out of 6 of them was circumsized. The one at 11 almost had to get circumsized due to recurring infections. I also just go off the studies I have looked at as well as what I learned in school. Unfortunately it's not them as men that's the issue. From 9-13 little boys lack hygeine. You generally have to fight with them to even remember to put deodorant on. lol Everyone makes there own choices for what they think is best for their children. Doesn't make one grose or another not.

Almost nobody I've been with has been clipped. My first isn't clipped and neither will this one. Its unnecessary. And I don't think it looks gross. I love my bfs penis its sexy. But a lot of women are jerks who cares its natural to have it. I say don't do it. Its painful and unnecessary

I would never not get my son circumcised. I've seen too many kids with foreskin issues, but that's my personal choice. Also people will say "you just need to teach them to clean it" but there are things that can happen that have nothing to do with hygiene. Also I think sex is much better with someone who is snipped but that's just me.

A lot of men are frustrated because they were deprived of the way sex is actually meant to feel for them because they were circumcised. Theres no getting that back. Yes, meant to... because that is a man's natural anatomy, not man made, for lack of a better word. And ill leave it at that :) just my 2 cents.

A lot of ladies will say that they think uncircumcised is "gross". It smells, etc. Truth is thats just a man with bad hygiene. Cut or uncut, yes, bad hygiene is gross. Also uncircumcised is more comfortable for a woman during sex. I wont get into detail about it, but you can look it up.

Also i know this is something we dont often consider when thinking about circumcision, but one thing to consider is his future sexual experiences. Pros and cons of snipped vs unsnipped.

Just be careful watching those videos, a lot of them are old and are not performed the modern way it is done now. I have watched them too, and I hated seeing the babies legs strapped down and a lot of doctors using the clamps and scissors. Nowadays it is done using a plasti bell ring, a lot less painful and traumatic for the baby. Btw, I have 2 boys and I never circumsized them, but I wouldn't think twice about it if they started getting infections.
