Dont listen to bullshit…get it done…takes a couple of minutes…what does his father say? sure he would want it done. dont put through that embarrassment he will have later on…maybe religion is why people say not too…get it done while ur still in hospital. people are nuts who dont…
Circumcising is not necessary. I choose not to circumcise my little boy for 2 reasons
- I’m not Jewish, and circumcising was the Covenant between God and the Jews
- it’s not medically necessary as it was many years ago when sanitation and hygiene were under developed per say.
Now I ended up having to circumcise my little boy as he was born with Cordee, Hypospadious, and hooded foreskin. So we used his foreskin to rebuild his penis at 6mnths old he’s now 7. I’m currently pregnant and if the baby is a boy I will not circumcise unless he needs It done. It’s a preference… and never feel bad about making a decision you feel is best for your baby
I let my sons dad decide since he has a penis and I do not and he chose to have it done and will probably chose the same thing with our second son when he gets here in March but the only 2 people that should get a say or opinion in the matter is you and the child’s father
Your biggest mistake is talking to anyone about your son’s penis, that is not his parent or his doctor

Please join the Whole Baby page. These cutters that don’t know how to clean a penis are scary.
Without the protective foreskin the glans callousus up and kerantizes. Looks like sandpaper or elbow skin.I’d be concerned if my clitoral glans looked like that. That’s what happens when you force the glans to be an external organ. It would be like leaving your tongue out of your mouth. The glans of the clitoris or penis is supposed to be soft, shiny, and sensitive. Not calloused and rough.

Circumcision is GENITAL MUTILATION. It’s good that your family doesn’t want you to. It’s harmful and damages the penis.
Crazy it even became normalized.

My uncircumcised 21 year old son has had zero problems. My 42 year old uncircumcised boyfriend has had zero problems. My 75 year old uncircumcised father has had zero problems. Tell your family to mind their biz! Female parts are WAY more susceptible to both bacterial and fungal infections… like guaranteed to happen multiple times during her life. Nobody is advising surgery to prevent them . It’s fucking stupid!! Stand your ground momma!
I went thru the same thing when my twins were born. I adamantly refused to have them circumcised and their father felt the same way. No medical reason for the procedure.
They are 10 now with no issues. We had a very candid discussion with their pediatrician regarding proper care of the foreskin and penis.
He is your child. Not theirs.
Your responsibility, not theirs.
You decide what is best for him.
My sons are all whole and 2 are adults and never had any issues. Ur gut is telling u wats right. I had to tell my own grampa to leave me alone about it my family pressured me too as all my brothers and cousins were cut. One of my brothers had pain from birth til he was like 4 and it healed to where he has like, a permanent erection. So he has always peed straight up. My cousin had the supposedly safer ring method done and not only almost lost the tip of his penis, but he went septic and almost died. They still cut 3 more sons! These are the people pressuring u, those that have seen their sons go thru hell, and STILL DID IT AGAIN! people that refuse to learn and have compassion for their sons! U tell them all to shove it! Tell them ur son is not dirty, or too stupid to wash or have safe sex. That ur perfectly able to care for his whole body, and to teach him to do the same. Ur job is to protect him! Dont listen to people who literally FAILED their jobs as parents to protect their sons from this sick crap, and now they want to force u to do the same, so they dont have to admit wat they did was wrong! Thats the only reason they want u to do it, to validate their own failure.
U got this. Dont let anyone shame ur sons body.
I wish I hadn’t… but his dad wanted him to be and he didnt have a whole lot of say during my pregnancy or my birthing plan so I let that be his decision. But it does serve a purpose. Keeps bad shit outta the way also the healing process was not kind to my little. He was in agony, and it took longer than it should have. It made me miserable to see him so miserable
Watch a video of it being done. You won’t doubt you decision not having it don’t after that. Teach your boy(s) personal hygiene and how to care for their penis and there shouldn’t be an issue.
There’s no reason for it.
80% of the WORLD is INTACT
UTI? antibiotics
Do you really think HIV is going to choice between a circumcised penis and a intact penis? NO
Women don’t get circumcised in America why boys?
We get a UTI we take antibiotics or stick a plastic tube with cream or a small bag with the cream inside it up our vaginas.
Cleaning a intact baby penis? just wipe it like a finger.
once they are older teach them proper cleaning care (do your research)
Aussie here. I’m assuming this is an American based page? Because America is one of the only few countries who still so heavily circumcise. Most of the rest of the world have outdated the practice.
- America push for circumcision thanks to the COSMETIC industry. They turn foreskins into skin creams for aging insecure women who want to look younger.
- babies are NOT given pain relief or aneastethic when it’s done, meaning it’s literally torture for them.
- quite a few babies still die each year in America from circumcision related issues.
- women are MORE prone to infections than men, are we to go back circumcising females too? Or should we simply stop being embarrassed to teach our babies proper hygiene and health care?
- studies are now showing that circumcision PERMANENTLY alters the brain and brain chemistry. Why? Because a newborn is literally strapped to a plastic cold device where they have their most sensitive body part ripped apart and off, which causes massive trauma, and that’s now been found to alter their brain development, and even cause emotional disassociation.
- they have crash gear on site when they circumcise. It’s not uncommon for babies to go into cardiac arrest during the procedures.
- the clitoris contains roughly 8,000 nerve endings. The foreskin alone has more than 20,000 nerve endings. And those are sliced straight into and severed during circumcision.
- circumcision should be the decision of MEN. As in, your son when he is a MAN. It’s his penis, let him decide how he wants it altered. Adult men are at least put under and given proper pain relief after the procedure, unlike babies.
- there is a growing number of men now working hard to regrow their foreskins and reverse the physical and psychological damage circumcisions caused them.
- like the vagina, the foreskin is self cleaning. Yes, gunk gets under there when it’s not cleaned, no different from how we can get build up around our labia, but with proper hygiene, care and bacterial balance, like the vagina, it’s a self cleaning organ and the natural bacteria under the foreskin is there to help provide protection from infection.
- for the first 5-7years of a boys life, their foreskin is fused to their shaft. Retracting it back prior to it detaching causes injury and can result in the need for a medical circumcision.
- not so great to think about now, but one day your son will have sex. As a woman who has slept with both cut and natural men, I actually won’t sleep with a guy anymore if he’s cut. In my experience, it’s not very comfortable. The foreskin is designed to rub and glide along the vaginal walls which in turn helps to provide natural lubrication. When there’s no foreskin, the penis jabs and doesn’t glide within the vaginal canal, which can be sensitive - painful.
Cut men will last longer typically when it comes to sex, but that’s unsurprising when a ridiculous amount of nerve endings have been cut and severed.
I could go on and on.
I’m a single mum of 3 boys. I have taught all my boys proper care and to wash their penis’ from young ages. My two year old knows to wash his penis and bottom in the shower, which already has him in the habit of doing it.
When my eldest sons foreskin began to detach, we spoke about the new sensations he was feeling and how is was a bit different now. I taught him how to gently retract the skin back but never more than what was comfortable, and to wash around the knob/head.
None of my boys have ever had an infection other than a UTI which was easily treatable with a day’s worth of cranberry juice.

You will need to know how to retract the foreskin in order to clean around the penis if you choose not to circumcise. Bacteria accumulates under the foreskin and can cause health problems.
Medically speaking, a circumcised penis is cleaner and less likely to develop bacterial infections. It’s also easier for little boys learning to potty train as there is no loose skin in the way. Regardless of what you choose, you aren’t wrong and the decision is only yours to make. You both will learn how to adapt circumcised or uncircumcised. Best of luck with your new little one. 
It’s his penis. Let him decide if he wants to have it cut.
It is a personal choice. As an RN in a maternity hospital I can tell you that there is no medical reason that makes a circumcision NECESSARY. However, many people feel that it is easier for cleaning purposes to have a circumcised penis. When I had my son I left the decision up to my husband because I figured he’d be the one doing the majority of teaching in that department since he has the same equipment. It can also be a cultural as well as religious reason. Frankly, not all of your friends and family are ever going to see your sons penis so just tell them you made the best decision for your son & family and leave it at that. You own NO ONE an explanation for whatever you decide.

Do whatever the fuck u want is your kid!!!
I have 3 boys. Only one is natural.
I wish I never cut my boys. They screamed and cried so hard😩 and things like soap, sand, rough clothing irritate them.
Foreskin keeps bacteria away. It lessens a males chance of getting an sti, std.
It makes intercourse more pleasurable for them (and women as well, although some can’t tell)
It’s a part of his own body.
Would you circumcise your daughter?
Many of my cut friends have horror stories of their penis skin ripping during sex, dancing (grinding), sports, etc. None of my natural friends do.
It’s as easy to keep it clean as a cut penis.
Every lover I’ve had that was natural was way cleaner (and gentler with his member) than those that weren’t.
Your boy is perfect the way he is. Your family needs to mind their own business. Why do they know anyway?
Honestly, coming from a mom who has one circumcised and one not… tell your family to stop worrying about your sons penis. I felt like we were bullied into it with our oldest. I did my OWN research and spoke to MULTIPLE doctors about it and chose not to do it for my second son. I have SERIOUS regret overlong doing it for my first. Like, almost makes me wanna puke for doing it to him. Just do your research. Ask your DOCTORS questions, not family members. And decide then. It’s no cleaner to have a cut penis or an uncut penis. They have to learn to clean the damn things anyways and if they don’t clean them properly, that’s on you for not teaching them. An uncut penis makes it own natural bacteria (like a vagina) to keep it clean. All you have to do is wipe it like you wipe dirty off the tip of your finger. With a cut penis, you have to retract and clean under the skin. Like I said, do your research and make a decision that’s best for your family.
Be informed!
It was put there for a reason. No need to mess with a natural creation! They shouldnt even be concerned with your son’s penis!
NO the body naturally kills bad bacteria, it reduces size, reduces sexual pleasure and causes a shit ton of pain. It was a religious practice to keep sex as a procreation purpose not pleasure. No good reason to circumsize

I’m sorry to say that they are probably so concerned for two reasons:
-
They believe the cultural myths that the foreskin is harmful, prone to infection, and will be more trouble than its worth. Those myths cause thousands of boys every day to be strapped down and their genitals surgically altered for no reason.
-
They may have chosen to circumcise their own sons, and they do not want to deal with fact that they made a bad choice, especially since it is a permanent one that affects their children for the rest of their lives. If they can convince you to circumcise your son, then it validates their decision to circumcise theirs.
Do not listen to them. Foreskin is normal, healthy, and functional. We are all born with one for a reason. Not to mention it is unethical to force a child to endure a surgery that they do not medically need, especially since the biggest risk of it is death. Bring your whole baby home, and tell all the naysayers that their constant nagging for you to cut up your son’s penis is strange and disgusting.

The Dr put a plastic ring on the tip of my son’s penis and said it would fall off with the foreskin. It fell of but somehow the tip got a nick in it. The nick was still there at 2 but I haven’t seen his penis since and assume the nick is still there.
I have 2 sons both circumsized, my mother chose not to have my 3 brothers circumsized and 2 of them needed it later in life due to infection and tightening of the skin. Make sure if you’re not doing it that you obsess about a thoroughly clean penis his whole life, men tend not to wash well enough to fend off infections and can also carry bacteria in the foreskin that can be passed along to sexual partners later in life.

I’d be asking them all why they’re all so interested in my son’s penis and call them pedophiles. What concern is it of theirs?
There are zero reasons to cut off part of your baby boy’s penis. The vast overwhelming majority of men on the planet are not genitally mutilated and doing just fine. I am certain that the ones urging you to mutilate your son have never seen a proper, whole penis and have no idea what they’re talking about. Civilized countries think the U.S. is a baby-torturing shithole because of this.
Not making a mistake. People told me the same. My intact child was just fine. The only mistake I made was having my first two circumcised. That was horrific, painful and caused tons of issues even years later. My second actually had to have a meteoplasty because of scar tissue from the circumcision when he was 5. Tell your family it isn’t their penis and to back off.
Nope, you are protecting your baby

Did you know a circumcision can have so many complications??
Complications include but are not limited to the following:
• Excessive Bleeding
• Infection
• Insufficient Foreskin Removed
• Excessive Foreskin Removed
• Adhesion / Skin Bridges
• Inclusion Cysts
• Abnormal Healing
• Meatitis
• Meatal Stenosis
• Urinary Retention
• Phimosis
• Chordee
• Hypospadias
• Epispadias
• Urethrocutaneous Fistula
• Necrosis of the Penis
• Amputation of the Glans
• Death
Seems like so many complications ranging in severity for such a “minor” procedure doesn’t it? Think twice before you risk subjecting your perfect child to a potential lifetime of pain and problems.
Be Wise, Don’t Circumcise. Leave him be problem free!!!

From someone who has 2 family members that weren’t done at birth, get it done. It can cause problems later in their life. And since my family members were 13 and 48 years old when they had to get it done, they have been very vocal about it’s the right thing to do at birth. It’s much harder to heal the older they are.

I got my son circumcised. To me in MY OPINION it’s gross. One I would feel weird trying to wiggle it about to clean it and two BOYS ARE DISGUSTING and lazy when it comes to hygiene for roughly the first 13 years of there life. I couldn’t even begin to imagine having to go into the bathroom when my son will shower to clean his penis for him. How embarrassing. 3 (which this one people will call me sick for) I could never go down on an uncut guy. It grosses me out. And 99 percent of women I’ve ever had this discussion with feel the same way. To each there own but those are my reasons on why my son is circumcised.
What does the male foreskin do? Foreskin…
- Protects the infant from contaminants, infection, and meatal stenosis.
- The foreskin is fused to the head of the penis in infancy, providing protection. The preputial sphincter at the tip specifically serves as a simple barrier that keeps out environmental contamination. It is not designed to be pulled back in infancy or childhood. Meatal stenosis (narrowing or closing of the urethral hole) occurs in approximately 10% of circumcised boys and sometimes requires painful corrective surgery.
- Protects the adult glans from chafing and loss of feeling.
- When the mucosa of the glans are exposed to chafing, the glans protects itself by keratinizing (similar to a callous). Foreskin keeps the glans internal, as it is supposed to be. The more the glans keratinizes, the less it can feel.
- Stores and releases natural lubricants.
- With natural lubricant, men with foreskin generally do not need lotion or lubricant for sexual activity. Women benefit from the lower risk of friction and dryness that a man’s foreskin provides. It also serves to seal in the female sexual partner’s lubrication, preventing it from losing its effectiveness.
- Feels good for its owner with specialized pleasure nerves.
- The foreskin is densely innervated with multiple types of nerves. These nerves respond to stretch, fine touch detail, temperature, and more. Foreskin feels really good.
- Delivers pleasure to the male’s partner.
- The presence of the male foreskin is inherently pleasurable in intercourse. In particular, it stimulates the female clitoris in certain sexual positions.
- Rolls/glides rather than rubs. This helps prevent friction and dryness, eases penetration, and provides pleasure.
- The mechanics of sexual activity are changed dramatically with circumcision, from rolling to rubbing. Circumcised males “tend to thrust harder and deeper, using elongated strokes,” but intact males tend “to thrust more gently, to have shorter strokes, and tended to be in contact with the mons pubis and clitoris more.” Also, the sliding/gliding motion of the foreskin over the glans and corona is deeply pleasurable for the male and makes initial insertion of the penis easier and more comfortable for both partners.
- Keeps the head of the penis warm, moist, and comfortable.
- Like the eyeball, inside of the cheek, and vagina, the glans is designed to be a protected internal organ.
- Provides sensory feedback, giving the man greater control of the sexual experience.
- The structures of the foreskin provide full, natural levels of neurological feedback, which allow robust control over erection, arousal, and orgasm.
- Facilitates erection and ejaculation when wanted.
- The foreskin contains the most pleasurable parts of the penis. This complete sensation, elimination of friction and pain, and other functions reduce the risk of erectile and ejaculatory problems.
- Helps prevent erection and ejaculation when unwanted.
- The foreskin protects the glans from being aroused at inappropriate times, reducing involuntary erections. Feedback helps prevent premature ejaculation.
- Maximizes penile length and thickness.
- It’s common sense: if you cut part of something off, you make it smaller. This has been observed by professional journals, including one which found that the penises of circumcised males were an average of almost 1 centimeter shorter.
- Feels details as well as the fingertips can.
- The specialized nerves don’t just feel good - they feel well.
- Increases sexual arousal.
- Apocrine glands in the foreskin may release pheromones, signal chemicals that help encourage sexual arousal in the man’s partner. The foreskin also prevents discoloration of the red/purple/pink head of the penis, preserving the sexual signal conveyed by this natural coloration.
- Defends against harmful germs.
- Specialized cells provide defense against unhealthy microbes. As long as the man washes occasionally with water, not soap, the microbial balance of the area remains healthy and infections are prevented.
- Prevents painful erections.
- An intact man is safe from “not enough skin” erection problems. The foreskin is a part of a whole penile skin system – it expands and moves along with erection. In addition, the frenar band massages the glans during sliding/gliding, regulating blood flow and preventing the erection from becoming “too hard,” which can happen with some men.
- Prevents pain after orgasm.
- Without correct protection and mechanical function, some men experience a burning or other pain after ejaculation.
The foreskin has various other sexual, cosmetic, neurological, and other functions. For example, it provides protection from cold, burns, and trauma, and it contains a rich network of blood vessels to support good penile function.
The foreskin is supposed to be there, for many reasons.
The evidence of harm to sexual pleasure and function of both the male and his female partner caused by male circumcision is now conclusive and irrefutable.

Do what you feel is right
Foreskin sucks. Too easy to have problems. A penis looks gross anyway and foreskin looks even worse. Lol
I circumcised. 
It’s up to YOU as the mother. Don’t listen to your family. It’s your decision.
Tell your family to shut the fuck up and mind their business. YOU are his mother and get to make those decisions
I think you should ask an uncircumcised MALE and a circumcised MALE. Not one of us have a penis, we have no idea what they go through…
It’s your kid! Do whatever you want! Why they care so much!? It’s his penis not theirs! … however, I do believe circumcised is the best, better hygiene, and when he gets older it affects his sex life…
But again it’s your choice don’t ever let anyone make you feel guilty about the decisions you make regarding your child
Reasons parents choose to circumcise their sons and why they’re incorrect:
-
“Its cleaner.” - Actually no, its not. Never retract and just clean from base to tip with warm water. Easy. The foreskin is fused to the glans until puberty leaving nothing to clean whatsoever until around 10-12 (but each boy is different, this is just a generalized time frame) When it does detach around that , you wash it like the rest of your body.
-
“It reduces the risk of uti’s.” - The risk reduction is LESS than 1%. Not significant enough to amputate healthy functioning tissue. Not to mention, that reduction only applies to infancy. Not adulthood. As adults, intact and circumcised males have the same risk of developing urinary tract infections.
*Allowing a circumcised bleeding penis to heal in a diaper full of urine and feces actually increases risk of infection.
-
“It reduces the risk of penile cancer.” -Aside from the fact that the American Cancer Society has already spoken out about that not being true, let’s pretend for a minute that it is. Penile cancer is already so rare, that your son has a better chance of developing breast cancer than he does of ever developing penile cancer. Penile cancer includes the shaft and glans. The foreskin makes absolutely no difference.
-
“It reduces the risk of STDs and HIV” - The only thing that prevents STDs are CONDOMS. Not circumcision. In actuality, the foreskin has been shown to have cells that act as part of the immune system in protecting against STDs.
-
“His penis should match his dad’s.” - Ew. No it shouldn’t. Your son will never notice a difference in his and his dad’s penis unless your family is keen on whipping it out at thanksgiving and comparing.
-
“Circumcised penises just look better.” - All penises look the same when erect, intact or not. Aside from the fact that the glans on a circumcised male is keratinized and “dried out” therefore looking smaller than it really should. Not to mention pushing your own sexual preference on your own son is very distasteful.
Now let’s look at the facts:
A baby boy dies every 2 days as a direct result of a non medically necessary circumcision.
Thousands of men will suffer long term complications including meatitis, erectile dysfunction, painful erections, diminished sexual pleasure, rough jack-hammering sex on their partners to achieve orgasm and more.
Over 250,000 men in the US are currently restoring their foreskin and wish they had been left intact from birth.
Countless men as adults have sued their parents and practitioners for performing their circumcision without their consent as babies.
The lack of foreskin will effect every circumcised male and their partner’s intimate life. The glans is supposed to be moist and covered, not dried out and keratinized.
Still think it’s a good idea? If anyone has any questions and would like more information, feel free to message us.
This post is not meant to shame circumcised males or parents that made the decision to do so. It is meant to raise awareness & inform others of the risks. You can regret making the decision and share what you have learned so the cycle stops.
Also don’t take my word for it. Learn what is involved with the procedure, watch some videos of it on YouTube. Research the lack of appropriate pain meds and a sugar soaked pacifier is all they give them. Read up on medical journals and statistics, take a college course. Or even ask your pediatrician.
There is no legitimate medical reason for routine circumcision of newborns, no medical organization or association recommends it.

If your uncircumcised boy(s) are getting infections, then you aren’t cleaning it properly/didn’t teach them to. Sorry not sorry. The foreskin is where most of the penis pleasure censors are so it’s kind of fucked up to take that from them, they’ll be a sexually active man some day.
I dont have a penis. I left that decision up to my husband and both of ours got circumcised.

Okay so… I left my son intact. I had so many reasons and I researched and read all the articles I interviewed doctors and more. I decided for myself and my family that I wasn’t gonna do it. At age 2 my son began to cry anytime he developed an erection. And little boys get many many erections. I took him to a urologist who said his for skin was so tight when he got erect it was cause tears in his urethra. This caused scare tissue to build. We put him on a steroid cream to loosen the for skin. Found out 1 in 3 boys left intact will face this same issue and it is extremely painful. The steroid worked and all was good. Then he suffered a Paraphimosis while cleaning himself. His scream still haunts me. 1 in 4 boys left intact will at some point face this. We rushed to the er. They had to sedate him. Then we got a referral for surgery because after it happens once it will happen again and they can lose their penis. Literally it can die.
If I knew then what my 4yo boy would face I never would have made that choice.
Research it please. They recover faster and face less complications long term. They face a lesser risk of std/sti, uti and other infections as well once older.

Your sons penis is quite frankly none of their concern. He deserves the right to his own healthy intact genitals.
80% of men worldwide are not circumcised, and the majority of those who are circumcised were circumcised for religious reasons. The United States is the only nation on earth where routine neonatal circumcision is performed as preventive medicine. The evidence for medical “benefits” to circumcision is weak, and the conditions it supposedly prevents are preventable and treatable by other, far less invasive means. Meanwhile, neonatal circumcision carries its own risks, which include hemorrhaging, infection, sexual debilitation, painful erections, meatal stenosis, total loss of penis, and death.
The foreskin is a healthy, functioning body part. It provides lubrication and sexual stimulation during sexual intercourse and masturbation by way of a gliding action. The foreskin also protects the glans from callousing which leads to loss of sexual sensation over time. These are all functions lost to circumcision.
Neonatal circumcision is extremely painful. The penis is a highly sensitive organ, studies show that babies have a low pain tolerance, and every form of anesthesia used during the procedure is insufficient to eliminate sensation.
Doctors and medical organizations worldwide have spoken out against routine neonatal circumcision. (Link below.)
The laws and culture being what they are, circumcision is an option parents can choose for their infant sons. However, an unbiased examination of the facts will reveal that it is a BAD option, and that neonatal circumcision is unnecessary, harmful, and unethical.
I think she was asking more about should she or shouldn’t she? My thought is this…as long as you keep his penis clean… no big deal… look I’m blunt so … if the father isn’t then the son won’t be… always exceptions… if the father is the son is… it looks a little different when it’s soft but there is no differance when it’s hard… I watched Donahue… years and years ago… uncircumcised have more sensation due to being protected by the extra skin… but on that same show I watched the actual procedure done and there was NO way in hell I would EXER put my child through that!!! For what? Good lick honey… your child your choice!

How do I put this nicely? Your son’s penis is not their business.
Why are they worried about YOUR sons penis? If they really care about you and your son, they’ll respect your decisions.
I talked with my father about this when I had boys, he was uncircumcised then when he got married, he got a few infections so his doctor said it would be easier for him just to get circumcised, so he did. He wished he never did, not because of the pain of surgery, you can live through that, but his penis was much less sensitive during intercourse. The doctor explained that the foreskin leaves the penis more sensitive, but most men don’t know the difference because they have it done at birth. So I did not have my son’s done, I wanted to leave that choice to them.
You need to do what you feel is best, because that will work for you.

My first son was circumcised. I regret it terribly as he had many problems as an infant and toddler in which his doctor had to pull the skin back because it grew together. My second son is not circumcised. He has absolutely no issues with his penis, no odor, or infection, or problems keeping clean.
Tell them to worry about their own penis and carry on with your life

Tell them to mind their own penis.
It’s your son. My boys are circumcised. My oldest had no issues. My now 4 year old wasn’t circumcised correctly so it’s still like have there. His pediatrician says it like that because he’s chubby. I know that’s not true. I’ve babysat plenty of little boys to know what it SHOULD look like. So he got sore under his leftover foreskin and there’s little pus pockets in there. I take him to the pediatrician to see about getting it fixed. He pulls the skin back super hard and made my son cry and bleed. I was pissed! He said that’s all you gotta do and make sure you clean it. Yea right!!! Now my son doesn’t even like to wash his penis area at all because he’s terrified it’s going to hurt. Once in awhile we have to hold him down and pull the skin back and clean it. I’m in the process of looking for a new pediatrician. The entire ordeal has been traumatic for my son. If I would ever have another son I’d get him circumcised and make sure it was a highly rated dr who knew what they were doing. I feel so bad for him now.

3 boys none of them were done. Personally I’d ask them why they’re so interested in his penis to begin with. It is none of their business. Do what your comfortable with
I circumcised my son. I definitely know I made the right decision. Especially after hearing horrible stories about the skin ripping and because skin can not be pulled all the way back from attached to the head of the penis. I was told because water, soap and dirt can get in and hide it can cause all kinds of issues. And I also saw what could happen later in life as a CNA. Watching an adult male with staples around the head isn’t fun… I say circumcise… but that would be your decision nobody else’s even your family…
Ask them why your son’s penis is any of their concern… That should shut them up
Nooo it’s unnecessary!!
Totally unnecessary.
Women are suseptible to infections, STDs ect but we don’t cut off a normal part of our anatomy for cleanliness. We just clean ourselves and take precautions, use medication if needed. They used to circumcise for religious reasons, it reduces the feeling in the penis and was supposed to keep boys from masturbating.
As a medical nurse there are a lot of reasons to get your son circumcised.no I have spoken with men that were circumcised and some that were not.out of 10 men eight have went ahead and done the surgery as they have grown up. They said that the feeling sometimes is in two sensitive that their functions of sexual contact they would ejaculate to quickly because their tip of their penis was so sensitive because the foreskin does protect the head of the penis.
the whole reason they were going through with the circumcision is because they wanted to be able to last longer sexually.
Scientifically I don’t know if that is ever been proven. I’m just going off of older gentlemen who have spoken about it themselves to me especially being in the nursing sector a lot of them had come into the ER with complications because they pulled stitches and had to have things fixed.
No I circumcised all of my children I had two boys. They haven’t had a single problem just make sure you do use a surgeon that is very capable of performing the surgery.
There are some doctors that have messed up so like I said it’s up to you and your research whatever you’d like to do that is your choice as a mom.
Nope, both my boys 11 And 2 are both not. That to me is mutilation and for stupid religious reasons…

If you don’t do it just remember NOT to retract the foreskin when changing diapers, clean it like a finger and eventually it will retract on its own as they grow and you can teach them care at that point. The skin is fused to the head of the penis and you are creating scar tissue and greater chance for immediate and future issues and infection with every retraction. Lots of medical professional give the opposite/outdated advice which can cause some of the issues associated with negative thoughts on the topic.

My mother in law gave me shit too. She’s Canadian and in canada its not medically needed you have to pay for it there. I told her my insurance covered it and she said I was crazy for not. I didn’t snip either of my boys they are 2 and 4 no issues . Im glad I made my decision. Watch the documentary circumcision on Netflix 
Do what you want with your own child.fuck all other advice. Do what’s best for you. If you do it. Itll be cleaner I guess. You wont have to teach him to pull back the forskin and if you dont well I’ve rarly seen an uncircumcised and they kinda smell either way. A penis is still a penis in the end
Your child. Who. Gives. A shit. What. Anyone. Else. Says. 
It’s really no ones business if your boys are circumcised or not. Tell them to fuck off and not worry about your kids genitals

It’s cleaner and healthier. I have been with 2 uncircumcised guys and it was DISGUSTING. It’ll be better for your son in short and longterm.
I edited my comment because I misread.
But you should get him cut for sure.

Because lots of people do it because that’s what others do if you do research there’s no medical evidence that it’s “better” or “cleaner” it started as a religious practice then became mainstream. There is however stories upon stories of botched circumcisions and problems with erections later because you’re literally chopping of nerves from their penis at the end of the day it’s YOUR BABY YOUR DECISION don’t let people bully into doing something you don’t want to
I left it up to my husband. I don’t have a penis. I don’t know what it feels like to have a penis. So I asked their father for his recommendation.
Don’t listen to anyone and tell them it’s none of their business. If they bring it up “<insert person’s name>, I don’t know why you’re so concerned about my son’s penis. I find it quite creepy and I’m concerned that you might have an issue.” That should shut them up, and if it doesn’t then you should cut that person off.
I did it because the dad was. I had no idea a penis didnt actually come like that. My ex had to explain it (I rather innocent and sheltered) I am glad i did though with my son being autistic. What if something happened and it got infected? I cant imagine having to help with it as he got older. I suppose u gotta clean it? I would hate trying to show him if that makes sense. He still has problems wiping after pooping.
I think its up to u though. U should do what i think is right for ur child!
Why is his penis their business?
It’s none of their business what is done with your sons genitals.
MYTH #1 it is easier to clean.
-It is literally no different than an intact penis. Do not retract.
MYTH #2 it lessens the chance if stds.
-Wrong again. It has zero baring in any std. There is zero evidence to support this claim.
MYTH #3 It lessens the chance of uti
-Wrong again. Don’t retract the foreskin, zero issues.
MYTH #4 Baby doesn’t feel pain and falls asleep during the procedure.
-WRONG!! It is incredibly traumatic to them. They often stop crying because they go into catatonic shock!
There is mounting evidence about why it is not good to circumcise.
1- It is a part of the penis that houses hundreds of thousands of nerve endings.
2- Retraction is a sexual function. Should never be done prior to it being done naturally typically between 7-10 years old.

Ok I have 2 boys and both were circumcised before I left the hospital no longer is it for religious reasons later in life a non circumsized penis causes problems and if a man should decide to get circumcised I guess it’s pretty intense most say it’s safer to be circumsized for like infections and ect! As far as the severity in pain it’s over before they know it so I wouldn’t let that hinder your judgement! Also I was told 99% of today’s females expect a circumcised penis and if it’s not sometimes it’s Ahmm awkward and quietly makes the man feel Ahmm not complete but that’s later on in life your baby will go fine with whatever you decide but please don’t let others tell you what to do
I didn’t circumcise my kid, I think that’s so fucking gross. Imagine if we did that to little girls.
