Willoughby said:This is interesting. i think its probably just a tradition. in the uk we have a tradition of not circumcising and anyway uncut looks so much better
aps said:Uncircumsized penises are UGLY. I'm sorry, but it's true. Yuck.
talloulou said:But maybe that's just because you are used to seeing it one way vs the other.
americanwoman said:From a woman's point of view I don't know what difference it makes. I guess since it's not a health risk anymore it should not be done. I just feel sorry for the little baby having a part of his skin cut off. As for looks I have never seen a circumcised member in person so I couldn't judge on looks.
Deegan said:I still remember as kids we use to pick on my cousin who was not circumsized, we called him "cheeto weenie". He died on us about three years later of a liver disease, and we will never forgive ourselves, but that's another story. I think it has many benefits, yes, one is that it looks better, but more importantly, I think it is certainly a hygentic issue to be sure. I really think it's up to the parent, but they also must think of the child, it's something he will have to live with, not you.
I can't believe I'm discussing this of all things!:3oops: :shock:

aps said:I just adore your openness, Deegan. It is what endeared me to you.
Well, I have to agree that it looks like a cheeto. :shock:
When it's done at birth, the kid will NEVER know what it's like to have the extra skin.
Deegan said:Thank you aps, and it's the very thing I love about you as well.
I agree with you, my son had it, and I would do it again in a heart beat, it's served my well thus far, and I think it is not as attractive undone.
aps said:Awww shucks. :blushing:
:cheers:
Anytime a female friend has talked about seeing an uncircumsized one, they have said they think it's ugly and they don't want to do anything to it if you know what I mean......
I had a friend who circumsized her first but not her second because the first screamed so much. Oh brother.
Now, I know it's a Jewish tradition, but the whole circumsizing in front of a group of people is too weird to me.
Captain America said:Ugly is subjective. For example, I think the genitalia on a woman is one of the sexiest things in the world. But my old pappy used to say that, "There's only one thing that can look at it and it pukes."
reaganburch said:Dammit, I just spewed my coffee all over my keyboard! Cheeto Weenie? That's hil-f'ing-larious... sorry
Anyways, I'm going to be having my first child, a son, in like 4 weeks and I guess I'll be having him circumsized. My in-laws are full of nurses who just swear to the fact that it needs to be done. Why? I don't know... Health reasons are what they tell me. I work in IT, they work in the health industry... They know more than me...
talloulou said:Why is male circumcision still so commonly done in the US? What's the main reason for this socially acceptable genital mutilation?
Thinker said:So far, the only "reason" that's been given here is that women would be turned
off by a non-mutilated penis. Funny, that sounds so much like the reason given
by the people in other parts of the world who like to slice to the labia and clitoris
off young girls.
talloulou said:I always find it funny that women cringe at the idea of female circumcision in other parts of the world but they have no problem mutilating their very own sons here in the US. They always say yeah but THOSE countries are barbaric:rofl I really see circumcision as a left over barbaric practice.....but I guess old habits die hard.
Navy Pride said:For some reason the hospital my son was born in did not do the procedure at birth and my wife had to take him in 3 months later to get it done............She was waiting outside the operating room and could hear him screaming when the doctor was cutting the foreskin............My wife started crying and wanted to go into the operating room and take my son out of there.......She felt the procedure was barbaric..........
Finally, I review medical records from people who were in the military. I would say that of the men who enter service without being circumsized will undergo one during their active duty.
