Circumcision. Is it necessary?

Should I circumsize my child?

Ah, pish posh. The whole POINT of being a parent is that you're making choices for your child in which they have precisely ZERO say, and of which they have even less understanding. In the grand view of choices that my parents made for me before I got to the age of understanding, the decision to cut a bit of skin off the end of my dick rates pretty low on the scale of importance.

It's just more proof that society takes penises WAY too seriously. There are dozens of choices that parents make for their children that are FAR more important. Religion, exercise, nutrition, education, travel, etc.: all kinds of shit that has WAY more of an effect down the line than the appearance of their cock. When a parent overfeeds their child or lets them do nothing but sit around and play video games all day, it has a mutilating effect on both their physiology AND their psyche that makes the removal of a bit of flesh from their pecker look like a non-issue, but NOONE is up in arms about making it illegal for a parent to let their kid turn into a fat slob.

I don't see anybody arguing with you about the need to educate your kid about healthy lifestyles. :thumbup That's the most important thing parents can do - educate, so they can make INFORMED DECISIONS :thumbup

So where does preemptive mutilation fit in to this? What's so impossibly difficult for the pro-cut lobby to simply wait until their kid reaches puberty and then let him decide?

If pre-emptive mutilation is so important to you, why not remove your kids:

feet - lest they ever trip up?
ears - so they hear no evil?
eyes - so no harmful image disturbs them?

why not remove your infant daughter's breasts to save her from breast cancer?
 
If this procedure had not been going on for the last hundred years, we would all be freaking the fk out if we were reading an article about some parents who decided to cut their kid's weenis, no matter how logical their position was.

Old boy? Who you calling old? or boy? Or MGM'er? Even your insults don't make sense.

I'm not a MGM'er. I believe in freedom, so don't believe in Male Genital Mutilation being outlawed. So don't label me as you are wrong on all counts as usual.

It would be like me calling you a religious nut, for wanting to continue this barbaric tradition. I don't know if you are a religious nut. You just might be into hurting babies. Or maybe you are just scared that if this trend doesn't continue, you will be looked upon as 'different' ... 'mutilated as a child'.

But I really don't care what your reasoning is. Don't even care that you try and label me. It just shows you have nothing substantial to bring to the discussion. Other than flawed studies that suggest being circumcised prevents aids. Yeah, good luck with that one. :laughing

You really think you are safe having unprotected sex with diseased people because you were circumcised? If you really want to be safe, just cut your whole dick off.

If there is any question, I rather just wear a condom to be on the safe side. My sensitive nerve endings weren't butchered off, so it will still feel good. Maybe as good as your unprotected sex. :twofinger

I've had sex with a lot of women, and disease free so far. I'll stick with what works and gives me the most pleasure.
 
Sorry, Horse....

Condoms don't protect you against the skin infections like those two.

In order for barfettes or any future mom to make an informed decision, I will offer them a viewing of my magnificent penis. I really have heard nothing but raves about it my entire life. But only look, no touching. Unless I give the OK.

I can tell you the barfettes that have had my penis enjoyed it immensely, but haven't voted in this poll. It seems a mans penis can either give him a lot of confidence, or a lot of misery. That really is a shame, as it is such a small part of us. Be it a very important part. Mine has made me into a cocky bastard. :laughing
 
I researched this issue extensively before my son was born (20 years ago) and made the decision to leave his junk intact. I have never regretted that decision.

Bravo!

My dad was cut. It was my mom that wanted me intact. I thank her very much for it, as it wasn't the norm back then. Today is very different.

Circumcision rates by state.

Hardly, many are pretty well informed and understand how ridiculous it is to use extrapolate any meaning from 3rd world studies to make predictions here in the US.

There are sections of the US medical community which will cling to this money making atrocity despite all relevant data to the contrary. :thumbdown

Nowhere else in the Western world is this even an issue. :thumbup
 
Someone should really invite Horse to the Sausage Party in a few weeks.

I'm just glad that now I know why my cock is small.

Just another thing to hate my parents for.

Thanks Horse.
