I recently read something online wrote by a guy who said he wishes he hadn't been circumcised .. as it wasn't his choice.

I'll repeat it for those like @hannah_sweg

"If society think its fine to circumcise an infant because they don't remember it , is it ok for me to rape a woman - as long as she doesn't remember it? "

Hannah, just because they are a baby doesn't mean they don't feel pain. Just because they don't remember it when they are older doesn't make it okay either.

My friends midwife strongly recommends against routine infant circumcision because she watched a baby go into shock and pass away (from hemorrhage) after his circumcision.

Babies are born with foreskin because it serves many purposes in conjunction with the part it goes with. This is not just extra skin...This is a natural, functioning body part parents are consenting to cutting off. It's crazy.

People who claim it hurts the baby. No. It doesn't.
Ask some one who was circumcised as a baby if they remember it.
Then ask a man who got it done later in life whether it be at 3 or 4 or even 20;
THEY remember it. It heals different as you get older so if you do decide to do it please dont wait. When they're babies is heals 3938383944 times as fast and being circumcised really is cleaner and more people like it.
If you're having trouble, ask an unbiased midwife to explain both sides to you.

It is easier to clean an intact penis than a circumcised one. Fact.

Also, it does not protect from infections nor does circumcising keep women from getting bacterial infections. That is all lies.

It protects from infections also. Even though nobody wants to think about their little boy having sex but he could give females bacterial infection.  I agree with what someone said earlier. We're doing it because hubby is circumcised and we don't know jow to clean one that's not.
