circumsicion

[mommytobe97]

I'm not really sure where to put this, but wanted to get any help on this situation. My husband is uncircumcised and doesn't like it at all. We had both pretty much agreed that if we have a son he will be circumcised. Though I wonder about later on when our son is growing up and wonders/questions why he looks different than daddy, what do you tell him?? I'm not sure how to handle that conversation. Any ideas/suggestions?? thanks!

I agree with Limonada, that was very offensive. It is not gross to be intact it is NORMAL! That is the way a mans penis is SUPPOSED to look like. We as a society have really screwed up views on the way things are. Take women for instance we try every diet and every workout plan to become "beautiful" because society has decided that women should be bone thin. Our bodies are not made to be that skinny. We are SUPPOSED to have hips and thighs. My husband is circumcised and I let him watch the video of a circumcision and he said "no way are we doing that if we have a son" he even said that he wished he had the choice to be intact or not. Your son can wait IF he decides that he wants to be circumcised. Dont take the choice away from your son.

Why are people still posting there opinions on here?  she didnt ask for anyones opinions and she has made that clear a couple times.. She wanted help explaining it to her son if she were to have one..  EVERYONE is entiled to there opinion but that doesnt mean it has to be expressed. especially when no one asked for it.. be respectful please.  I will never regret getting my son circumsised.  and he will thank me later for it.  and dont say he wont cause he will.  where im from there isnt anyone that hasnt had it done.  and I know my son would be devastated if he was the one person that didnt have it done.

I don't know how anyone COULDN'T take offence to what you wrote - my husband isn't circuncised either and I definitely don't consider it "gross".  Neither of my sons are circumcised either (my husband's choice - I didn't have a strong opinion either way)....and if they end up hating us in future because they aren't, well, then so be it.

Honestly....you need to think before you post!!

I dont understand why people want to cut off babies parts that belong there. God made penises a certain way, that is the way he wants them. If the foreskin was supposed to be removed God would have made penises with out foreskin. There is NO need for circumcision.

watch this video and you will never again think about doing it to your baby boy.

i in all honesty think it should be left to your son to decide when he's older whether he want's circumsized or not, my partner has not been and it's not a subject that comes up much in Scotland but he is the cleanest person i have ever met, as long as your son is shown how to clean himself properly there shouldn't be any problems.

I also know of 2 guys who was circumsized one now has problems ejaculating during intercourse as he's lost a lot of feeling down there, but the other is perfectly healthy, and clean but i used to find it pretty difficult pleasuring him before i met my partner ( sorry TMI) i used to think i was hurting him.

i do agree with one of the other posts if your husband thinks not being circumsized is gross get him to try it out first and see how he feels getting a piece of his manhood cut off, i think i already know the answer.  But just think of your son's feelings and opinions before making any major and life changing decisions

I'm just saying it's not all hype. there have been studies done by some fairly reputable organizations that prove there ARE benefits to circumcision. that being said, it's a very personal decision and there's no reason to attack people here or call them ignorant. so stop, please. and summer...stating that "lack of parental involvement" is the reason for the rise in the trend of male circumcision is cruel, and completely your opinion. on the flip side...people who choose not to circumcise their children shouldn't be chastized either because it makes them out to be "freaks". just..let it go, guys. there's proof for both arguments.
