Looks like im a little late in posting!

If you want another lady's perspective here's mine:

Never been with an uncircumcised guy so I don't really have both perspectives here but given the choice...I'd choose circumcised by a LANDSLIDE.

Good Luck!

If I were you I'd have one of those Jewish ceremonies, but just cause for some reason I see humor in it.

We had one of these ceremonies (they're called a Bris) for my son several years ago. Trust me when I say there is nothing humorous about them.

If you are going to circumcise your son, see if you can find a pediatric urologist to do it.

Find a reference that shows pictures, if possible, so you can see what would actually be done to your son. Anesthetic is not always used.


If you do not circumcise your son, and he decides, later in life, that he really does not like it, he can always have it done later if he decides that it's worth it. But it will be HIS decision.

Let's remember that the infant will not remember the pain. Have the procedure later in life and that is PAIN (and no sex) for at least a week.

no sex for a week? wow, what will the guys of OOT ever do??

Default Re: POV from somebody that\'s performed circumcisions

[ QUOTE ]
Irie - Thanks for your expert opinion.

Are you seeing an increase in the percentage of parents who are choosing to not circumcise their boys? Or can we assume that when our child is grown, there will be the same ratio of circumcised/uncircumsised males?

[/ QUOTE ]

No, this is an old debate and the anti-circumcision movement is not as hot now as it was in the 70s.

Again, when I counsel patients I give them non-directed counseling and try to make sure that they understand that it is OK to not circumcise their son.

But more than 90% of males born in the U.S. are circumcised and it is not likely that this number will change much over the next generation.

I am uncut- and I voted to cut the kid. This is exactly a reflection of my own hang-ups about my penis being "different" and I'm not sure it's logical, but it just feels like an area where you spare some potential grief by conforming to the norm.

Dex,

I have extreme doubts about the integrity of information coming from the "International Coalition of Genital Integrity" and a website called "circumstitions".

Don't have time to research this right now.

work to do,

Are you serious? What problems could you have possibly had? Did some chick refuse to go down on you? I state again for the record - no trouble, ever. Sort of a "conversation piece."

It's nothing about what I've experienced, just my own hang-ups. I just think that given the choice, it's not something I would put my kid through if I had the choice, seeing as how I see minimal negatives to getting it done and potential negatives to not.
