Circumcision Vs. Non-circumcision

And here it is.

I, personally, don't think I'll be circumcising my kid. No real medical reason to, frankly.

Nope, no reason except a severe case of phimosis. Now watch no one take the bait and come into the thread. Cut vs. uncut is always a fun debate.

Well this thread will end well.

I think it's a bad idea to mutilate children, but I'm not gonna try to stop parents who do so. In this modern era, it's rather pointless to circumcise a boy.

I had to google that.

I wish I hadn't.....

Agreed. Any modification of genital areas should be left to the owner!! There are still practicing African cultures that today support the removal of the labia and clitoris from female children, rendering them unable to experience orgasm. Circumcison is just another form of such barbarism. If the guy thinks it's that necessary to be close/acceptable to his god, he can do it when he comes of age!!

MoulinRouge dreams of ant eaters!

Speaking as someone who is uncircumsized, I think it's better.

On the other hand... no, there's no downside.

Pretty much. I think generally circumcision makes little sense, but there is some value in a boy being able to look at his penis and not see it as being different from his father's. My boys are not circumcised, but probably half of the reasoning was that I am not. If I were circumcised, I might not have made the same choice.

Honestly, I can't think of any time that I ever saw my dad's penis.

I see no reason to hide from my kids when I step out of the shower.

Ahh, but did you shave your pubes off?

That's it... I can't come in this thread any more.

Wrist got tired, huh?

No. I feel like I'm interrupting a sausage fest.

He never hid, I just never went in the bathroom while he was showering. not trying to be critical, it's just something I never considered before.

I couldn't resist, it was just so easy...

And it's been done. Moulin why don't you go find what has been hashed out in great detail before. We could just read it a not have to go through this shit again.

Cleanliness is next to godliness.

At the zoo with the ex GF's 5 y.o. son a few years back. We're wandering by the elephants and he says "What's that?"

I tell him it's an elephant.

He points at the elephant's head and says "what's that?"

I tell him it's the elephant's trunk.

he moves his hand to the right a bit and says "what's that?"

I tell him it's the elephant's tusks.

This goes on for a while and eventually, well, he points to the elephant's nethers and says "what's that?"

I think a second and tell him the truth. "That is the elephant's penis," says I.

"Why does Mommy say it's nothing?" he asks.

"Well Owen, your mother has been spoiled..."

What, your opposed to new voices? As if everything here isn't a retread of what's gone on before? Oh look, Flashlight is bitching about marijuana again! Hey look, Darkstryke's bitching about democrats! Oh, there's Mewa, going on about life in NYC. And of course, Uncle Albert making the usual ass of himself.

Topics are repeated ad nauseum here. It's par for the course. If you're tired of it, then please, kindly just leave.

We could easily go, find it and put more to it. I never said when it was brought back up that it couldn't have more posts put to it.

A long revival... worthy of Necromancer?

But if you were circumcised, and then circumcised your boys so they'd look like you, and then they might have the same do to their sons, and their sons do it to their sons, and then a ridiculous needless practice is perpetuated ad infinitum.

I an cut, but I didn't have my son cut, because I saw no need to perpetuate the practice.

Break the chain, I figure. And my son has told me he's glad he's uncircumcised. Most his friends are uncut, and all his cousins 'cept one, so he fits in.

Try this one, then.

Only before my vasectomy.

True. And in fact, my dad cut (so to speak) the cycle with me. And it was no big deal most of the time, but sometimes I felt like I was the only guy in the world with a foreskin. Fortunately, my sons know otherwise.

I'm cut, and my son is going to be.

Your son and his friends compare their penises often...?

You want to protect kids from violent video games, but you would willingly have your son tortured and mutilated?

I used to work as a moyle assistant, helping out with circumcisions.
Lousy pay, but I got to keep the tips.

Keep...the...tips, people. Thank you, you've been a great audience.

Anyway, everyone I know is circumsized (yes, public shower areas in the gym). WhenI first saw someone who wasn't, it was shocking.

I prefer my fireman's helmet.
