If you’re not willing to cut your daughter to prevent UTIs, yeast, cancer, etc… then don’t cut your son. Both genders are born with a retractable prepuce.
Uncircumcised boys are prone to infection in the excess skin. Men who are uncircumcised have a greater chance of contracting STDs. It’s easier to get it done when they’re babies.
Yea, most of the world doesnt circumcise their kids. Check out “American circumcision” - lots of info . Over 100 boys die from it every year

Do what you do, only because you and his father chose to. Not because you felt guilted into it. I refused to have my son circumcised. But I am not judging anyone for doing so.
No, you are NOT making a mistake! Educate yourself, then educate everyone around you! Learn the facts!! People will have their opinions, but facts will always win! Circumcision rates are dropping in the US. The US is the only country that has Routine Infant Circumcision. You made the best choice. You are protecting him, his basic rights and his decision. He will be a man one day, and as that man he deserves protection from birth. His Body, His Choice. Men are born perfect too!

When American boys are first born, they’re often subjected to ritualistic sexual abuse in the form of genital mutilation. The proponents all show signs of Stockholm syndrome, and like most abused children, they go on to abuse children themselves.
The procedure itself is quite profitable for the small collection of fetishists that perform it, as the pieces of skin are often ground into a paste and sold as cosmetics to be injected into women’s faces ( to undo wrinkles and age related damage). This is the reason Oprah looks as young as she does.
To break a man, you have to strap an otherwise perfectly fine baby boy onto a restraint device so he can’t stop it from happening (can only scream out in terror for relief that never comes).
Circumcised men are basically all brain damaged childhood sex abuse survivors. Their brains carry the trauma forever. This leads to psychological problems. Most people, cut or not, are cowards and will back down if it means avoiding confrontation with hostile actors.
So, rather than confront it, they double down and rally around child sexual abuse torture and genital mutilation as if 3000 years of failing your children and following herd mentality like a herd of sheep is something to be proud of!
Why do they even know this information is a better question.
My son is circumcised. Make the best decision for you and your family bc other people will always have an opinion.

Your choice. I as a nurse have known far too many men who didn’t care for their foreskin and ended up getting infections, some having to have part or all of their penises amputated.
I circumcised my sons, my oldest watched his uncle have to have part of his amputated due to a foreskin mrsa Infection, he thanked me for making that choice for him as a kid.

I circumcised. But I don’t care for the “ring” which is the way they did it 7 years ago for my son. Old fashioned blade or laser removal are better.
I have no regrets. If not kept very clean infections and things can happen. My son is special needs and still needs help cleaning, wiping, etc. I made the right choice for my son. I am sad you made the decision for your son without educating yourself on the subject first, but nobody else has any right to tell you what to do with your children besides their father.
Mine arent circumcised either
Good don’t do it, it’s a barbaric outdated practice and genital mutation. The foreskin is there for a reason and has many functions and benefits, so many Americans are ignorant on this topic and the male anatomy. You wouldn’t circumcise you daughter so give your son the same courtesy.

I have 3 boys and i decided to have them circumcised. You do what you feel is right for you and your child. There is no right or wrong. Its your preference and decision. Dont let anyone sway you either way. You’ll make the best decision for you and baby 
For a few reasons: medically, men without circumcisions are more prone to infections from yeast and bacteria from not getting clean under the foreskin. This can travel up the urethra a d cause bladder and kidney issues. For some reason, uncircumcised men are also more likely to develop prostate cancer.
Socially, most men are circumcised. Your son will be ostracized-to some degree-in school once he reaches the age where he uses urinals in the open or showers for PE class. Kids are stupid and rude. Even if he attends a religious school, it WILL happen. It could also prove to be a problem when he is dating a wants to become sexually active. Many women do not want to deal with it.
Religious beliefs should be taken into account. I won’t go into that.
I will say that it is quick and that I’ve seen quite a few done and babies often don’t even notice. Some even sleep through. It is very quick and has few complications. My son did have a small complication. He grew adhesions. We had his circumcision revised at about 2 months at the doctors office.

I’m a momma and a nurse, I say circumcize only because I have taken care of elderly men who aren’t and they get very nasty yeast infections and other problems due to poor hygiene. When they become elderly, forgetful, and aren’t unable to care for themselfs it’s a major issue. I’ve also seen where men have forgotten to pull the skin back after urinating and it causes strangulation to the head of their penis. Just my input, but it’s always a personal choice.
You are not making a mistake. It is way better to leave your child natural… And don’t believe the quackery saying he will have issues later. Just don’t forcefully retract the foreskin. It is simple, wash his penis like a finger, from bottom to top. Clean what is seen. Retraction will come later ( some start retacting earlier some later) before puberty.
We didn’t circumcise. Really no need too. They are born with it that way for a reason. The skin is fused to the head of the penis until puberty to protect it. You don’t retract it until it naturally retracts on its own. But I also don’t look down on those that chose to do otherwise. Just personally what we believe and did.
Think it’s mostly a religious thing and supposed to be more hygienic and much lower risk of getting cancer of the penis my son not been done
I let Dad choose what he wanted since I don’t have a penis 
I also didn’t really feel strongly about it one way or another.
Here’s my personal opinion your son is going to grow up he’s going to get into relationships he is going to be sticking his penis in people‘s mouth‘s that being said they will go other places as well. The upkeep of foreskin during sexual intercourse in any fashion it’s fucking tedious as hell not to mention you get infections a whole hell of a lot easier as you grow upHand during their teenagers they don’t take care of it as well as they should and they will not tell you until something is extremely wrong. I’m not saying anything to be weird But honestly you got a look at this in the long run plus half the time when you go down on someone that’s uncircumcised they have that gross stuff in their foreskin whether it’s from sweating or the fuzz that’s in their underwear or their jeans or some thing and it’s fucking gross but that’s just my opinion you got a think about the fact that yes that’s what you want as a parent but it also affects your child in more ways than you would like to think about. And he can’t get it done when he’s older because by the time he’s older he’s going to be getting erections and when you have foreskin Taken off as an adult which I have had multiple friends have to go through It is the most excruciating process in the world because surprise you’re not allowed to have boners because it ripped the stitches out as a baby they don’t have that issue so I don’t know if you’re gonna read this and honestly I don’t care who reads this. And on top of that removal of the foreskin intensifies what they feel during any type of intercourse but that being said again you can think about it for cosmetic reasons instead of how it’s actually going to affect your son as he grows up but that’s on you dude it is what it is Unfortunately I have an overwhelming insight on what my friends have told me as well as an ex that have gone through the situation.
Dont circumcise unless its medical. Fuck the family
Circumcise him please
Raehana Judkins would you like to voice your opinion?
Not your penis not your choice.
I had my child circumcised and I totally regretted it after. They don’t tell you in some boys the skin can regrow or grow on the penis head and has be pulled back at least once a day. It was painful for my son for months. I wish I had not done that too him period.
Circumcision impares the penis
GET THAT BABY CIRCUMCISED!!! Uncircumcised penis are UGLY, they give women Bacteria Vaginosis, men have to pull the skin back to clean. Yuck. Get him circumcised!
I am a female, and as ridiculous as this may sound I’ll say it anyway…I’m about to have a baby boy myself, and I remember when my friends and I were becoming sexually active, seeing a penis for the first few times was SCARY! Lol, but seeing and trying to deal with an uncircumcised penis was literally traumatizing for me! So I’m circumcising my son based on my own experiences, and I just really hope and pray that little Donnie over here feels I made the right decision when hes older

Then it gets gross . Also I think and this is just my opinion and experience that women find a Circumcise penis more attractive. Hes still a baby but think about his future.
Nothing wrong with foreskin. It should be considered normal. I wish I had mine still. But with the majority being circumcised you can expect that some girls will find it strange when they see an uncircumcised penis for the first time. I know I did. I didnt even know circumcised penis’s weren’t natural until I saw my friends when I was 6. Lol
no mistake dont do it
Yes get it done. If not you have to keep it clean or the extra skin that covers it will make the penis get infected also better in the long run

"Just a few instructions (and a dash of common sense) are all that’s needed to know how to care for your son’s intact penis: Just wash off the outside and never forcibly retract the foreskin.
Or as we like to say: ‘Only clean what is seen!’ and ‘I’m intact – don’t retract!’"
And to that section that says, " … never forcibly retract the foreskin.“, I would instead say, " … never forcibly retract - or retract at ALL - the foreskin.”
Intact care is so easy.
Myth: a widely held but false belief or idea.
That’s what all of these issues are. Just myths.
Cleanliness, Cancer, UTIs … all myths.
And on top of that, circumcision can cause death. Don’t hurt your baby.

Ok, my thought, (for what it’s worth) as a nurse AND mother of a boy…before I went to nursing school I was a CNA in a nursing home, at one point I took care of a man who was uncircumcised. The CNAs that had been taking care of him had not been doing as they should and cleaning his penis appropriately (he was a total care patient who was unable to do anything or speak). We where trying to give him a shower one day and he would clinch his legs together an scream, come to figure out he had green, infected puss in the foreskin. I decided then and there that IF I ever had a son (which I did a year later) he would be circumcised because while, yes I could and would teach him to take care of himself, what happens if God forbid he ever has to rely on someone else to do for him? I didn’t ever want to think of my baby (who’s now 21) ever going through what that patient did. I have also recently had a patient whom was uncircumcised (20 something y.o) whose foreskin continues to try to grow over and close the opening, HAD to have an emergency circumcision because it was causing him to be unable to urinate and was very painful.
Thank you Rose Rucinski

a great conversation
That is a big yes !!!
This is not an issue of parents’ rights. This is a human rights issue. Do you have any idea what the circumcision procedure is - how it is “performed”? First, the doctor manipulates the baby’s genitals to get him a little hard, so the doctor will know where to cut. Then, the baby receives a shot of lidocaine. The doctor NEVER waits for the lidocaine (pain relief) to take effect. The doctor is too impatient. So after the doctor gives the baby a shot at several locations on the penis, the doctor begins by inserting an instrument between the foreskin and the glans penis. The biological construction of the foreskin and glans is similar to that of the fingernail and the nailbed. They are fused, and they are supposed to be fused, and they are supposed to stay fused. We already have several violations of the law. 1) fondling a child. 2) inserting a sharp object into the genitals, i.e., rape with an object. Then, the doctor cuts down a length of the foreskin to the coronal ridge of the penis, and cuts around to remove the entire foreskin. This is an extremely basic description. You should know that there are already laws in place in the US that should protect boys from this absolutely barbaric human rights violation.
Girls were protected from circumcision, but after the Michigan case a couple of years ago, our medical and legal systems were so insistent on maintaining male circumcision, that a federal judge struck down the 1996 or 97 law outlawing female circumcision.
It was pointed out that banning female circumcision while not banning male circumcision was a violation of the 14th Amendment (equal protection). Instead of doing the right thing, the federal judge instead maintained male circumcision by striking the law outlawing female circumcision.
For more information, take a look at Peter Adler’s legal paper, Is Circumcision Legal?

Circumcision of children is an entirely unnecessary cosmetic procedure that comes with a laundry list of side effects. He’s better off with his whole penis
I’m a mom of 2 boys and really the only reason I did it was so they wouldn’t feel singled out in like locker rooms and such, and, my oldest didn’t get it done til he was 6 days old, and I noticed, it also made cleaning the poop off of it much easier when they were in diapers lol its definitely not something that has to be done, whatever you choose is the right decision, just do what you feel is right and tell everyone else your baby’s penis is no one else’s concern but yours.
that’s… weird. just tell them it’s not their penis and to mind their own business

Think you know about infant circumcision?
It is…
Unnecessary…A baby boys foreskin is fused to the glans/head of the penis to keep out bacteria and infection. The penis is to be cleaned like a finger from base to tip, never being retracted until the owner of the penis retracts it. This sometimes doesn’t occur until puberty. Phimosis or a ‘tight foreskin’ is natural and normal in little boys. During separation you may notice the foreskin ‘ballooning’ this is when the foreskin has started to separate from the head but the opening is still narrow. The urine will slowly pool underneath and then release. Ballooning ONLY becomes an issue when the boy can no longer urinate or there is pain or the inability to fully retract past the point of puberty. When retractable the owner of the penis can retract, rinse & recover. With proper hygiene practice the rate of infection is very low (even lower than the possible risks of a circumcision procedure).
Painful…During a traditional circumcision the baby is strapped to a plastic board with his arms and legs bound. The doctor will then manually stimulate the infants penis in order to administer a numbing injection that will not take away the pain that is about to be felt. A probe is taken and inserted under the foreskin to break the bond between the foreskin and glans (the same bond holding your fingernail to your finger). The doctor now clamps down on the foreskin with a Gomco or Mogen clamp, crushing nerves and healthy tissue. The infant is usually screaming now, until he succumbs to the shock and slips into unconsciousness. The doctor will tell you he slept. After crushing, the tissue is sliced off with a scalpel. Would it shock you to know it is still performed this way today? Also, the plastibell method, whilst they claim is cut free is not.
Cruel…Bodily Autonomy is the basic human right of having the final say of what YOU do with YOUR body. Infant circumcision directly neglects this BASIC RIGHT! The penis is not diseased, it does not sport any ‘extra’ tissue. The foreskin has 16+ functions, sexual and non sexual. It also contains fine touch nerves, the same fine touch nerves as in your fingertips…so loss of sensation is impossible to deny.
Dangerous…Whilst we have potential evidence to show the limited benefits of infant circumcision the risks far outweigh the benefit. The benefits include lowering the risk of UTI, some STI’s and penile cancer. The issue with these benefits not being enough to warrant preventative amputation is due to the fact only approximately 1.2% being the risk intact males will acquire a UTI. Compared to the rate of females at approximately 9.2% risk, of which are treated with common antibiotics. STI’s can be minimised by practicing safe sex. Lastly the lifetime risk of penile cancer is approximately 1/600 whereas breast cancer falls at just 1/300, DOUBLE the risk but we aren’t removing breasts simply to reduce risk. Therefore using circumcision to lower the risk of already uncommon risks isn’t a justifiable benefit.
Your son faces a NO to LOW risk of potential problems when keeping him intact. However when circumcised he has nerves and healthy tissue permanently removed leading to the potential complications such as, bleeding, infection, insufficient or excessive removal, adhesions, inclusion cysts, abnormal healing, meatitis, meatal stenosis, urinary retention, pathological phimosis, chordee, hypospadias, epispadias, urethrocutaneous fistula, necrosis of the penis, amputation of the glans and death.
Is it really worth the risk?
You’re not making a mistake. Tell them its not their body or yours, and therefore not your or their choice. Intact penis’s are normal 
Circumcision Facts and Science
In Australia we don’t do that. It’s been banned as routine in hospitals for over 22yrs and seen a massive decline in infection rates. removing the ridge band from the penis and cutting the dorsal nerve shorter is linked to early pre ejaculation and erectile dysfunction issues as stated in medical journals. As a nurse I’ve never seen any man with an issue because he has his natural foreskin but I have seen men who were cut having to learn how to do viagra injections into the shaft of the penis to be able to have sex. Not to mention the amount of buried penis and scar tissue I’ve seen with the older generation who were cut. Now it’s basically child abuse. We have running water and teach basic simple hygiene as you would with a girl child. Girls have a clit hood that also needs to be washed when older but we don’t recommend cutting it off because the child is stupid and can’t wash their own body part. Trust me if taught right boys can manage to take care of their penis the one thing they are proud about when older. It’s an outdated procedure for a reason.
Family don’t own this baby. He does at 18. To choose how much penis he may want. As once get phone and find what the foreskin is about. Maybe not be ok about it
I studied the topic extensively in college for a class. It is medically unnecessary for most penis-havers and there is a greater risk of infection, damage, and other negative outcomes than there is risk when uncut. In other words, don’t cut unless there’s a medical purpose for doing so.

Ii didn’t have my son circumcised when he was born but when he was about 3 we had to have it done because the foreskin became too tight and was cutting circulation off to the head of his penis.

As long as it is kept clean and no complications, there is nothing wrong with him being uncircumcised.

Please let your son make this choice for himself once he’s old enough to consent…after all, it is HIS penis. Best wishes to you guys.
I did not circumcise my three boys. Unless you are a nomad living in the desert, unable to clean your penis daily there is no reason to do it. The Jewish faith circumcises still because of the covenant they made with God but if you are christian then Jesus’ death was our new covenant. My father in law was a doctor and he approved my choose not to circumcise. Later in life it could cause reduced feeling in the penis. Also, it is very painful for the child and can cause trauma.would you want your clitoris cut off?
Nope you are not making a mistake. I got all sorts of hell from folks in my life for not having my 7yo done at birth. The things they tell you are complete scare tactics. I go with “Not my penis, not my choice.”

We left the decision up to our son. Also, there are many functions of foreskin. We didn’t feel it was our choice to deprive him of that or take the choice away from him. After all, it’s HIS penis.

No i think your making the right choice. Not circumcising can cause so many problems and infections. Plus your son is goingnto have to continue to keep it so so clean to avoid that situation. And its your kid your decision . Its not for your family to decide what do they care what happeneds to his penis anyways thats not really somthing they should be putting their two sence in about
AMERICAN DOCTORS have convinced naive parents that it’s normal to cut off part of a baby’s penis. THE UNITED STATES is the only English-speaking nation whose doctors routinely tie down babies and cut off part of their penis. These doctors use crude propaganda to persuade American parents that it’s in their child’s best interest. In the rest of the world, where parents know better, the men grow to adulthood with intact genitals and scoff at any suggestion they cut part of it off. Let your son be a free man with a choice that is NOT yours to make.
Most circumcision damage doesn’t show up until the boy becomes a sexually active man, and he may not know that amputation of part of his sex organ caused the damage. In either case, he most likely will not tell his parents.
