My brother wasn’t circumcized when he was born much to his regret. It ended up closing around the end of his mister & he got to where he couldn’t pee. He was 13 when he got circumcized because of that. He was less then happy about that outcome let me tell ya. He’d kill me if he knew I was telling yall this.lol I had both my boys done because of this reason. I saw the pain he went thru with that & was not about to potentially subject my son’s to that. Some guys have had problems some haven’t. It’s a crap shoot on if something will come up later. It’s all up to u mama.
I did not circumcise my son when he was born. 8 years later he ended up having complications and had to be circumcised because of it. He’s fine now, but he had some complications for about a year due to the surgery. I also know of plenty of boys who aren’t circumcised and are totally fine.
They will not lose feeling or be tortured. Don’t do it!
My son and his dad are both intact. Never an issue. The foreskin is there for a reason.
I think go with what the dad is … i wish i had of

Personally, I prefer it. I did both of my sons. But I watched my grandfather have to get it done at 60 years old, because of diabetes and it was so hurtful to him. I watched the pain he endured and decided to get my sons done when they were born, just in case later in life it became a medical issue. But those are your kids. Nobody else decision.
Why do Americans cut an important functional part of a child’s body off for no reason?
So glad my boys were born in Europe 
Just had my son 12/21 and he’s circumcised. No issues and he healed well. It’s your decision and your child .
DON’T DO IT! There is no medical reasoning do it.

Your baby, your choice. Do not let anyone else tell you what to do with your child, especially in this case. There is no reason to unless medically necessary. I regret all the time that I let my exhusband choose for our 3 sons to get it done and I didn’t voice my opinion more to not to.
you are the Mother that means you make the decision, stop letting other people tell you what to do. Get him taken care of now, just think about the laughter in the locker room he will suffer from

My son is 45 … had him done when he was a few days old … slept right through it.
I am the mother of 2 boys. Both are in their 30’s now. My first was circumcised because I didn’t know any better. My second was not. They are both very happy and thriving in their lives.
I did it to both my sons.their dad is not. I made the decision based on the the fact that a circumcised penis looks a lot nicer.
I did my son, it’s just something I believe in. It also help from getting infections & bacteria under the skin. You will have to pull the skin up to keep it clean for non- circumcised babies & toddlers.
A friend of mine didn’t have her son circumcised and he alway got yeast infections and finally as a young man had go have that done. She said she wished she of done it when he was a baby

I did my son… but it’s because I saw what happened to my grandpa when he got older and needed one.
All the boys in my family are also done. It just depends on what you want. DO NOT LET ANYONE PUSH YOU!
If you teach him properly to clean it, you will have no problems. It doesn’t matter what your family think, it’s you and your husband’s child, it’s your choice.

There is no medical evidence to prove it is hygienic to circumcise. Just dumb religious ignorance. It is total nonsense and has no medical grounds. So definitely your decision is right.

You’re not making a mistake. He will be happy when he is older!!! Also fuck what anyone thinks. I got my kids done even though their dad isn’t, many men that aren’t wish they were. I have never heard of a man missing his foreskin.
Saving Our Sons is a great resource.
As long as he knows how to care for it, youre fine. I have 2 boys. 1 is circumsized. 1 is not. Ive done both ways. Really no difference.
My son isn’t. He’s 6 now and I never had one issue.
If he wants it done as an adult he can.
Look up the procedure on YouTube
The newborn is in so much agony he throws up. It’s the kind of cry that is so bad it turns silent.
It all begins with a 5 inch long needle straight into the abdomen… and they don’t even wait it for it to kick in.
It’s 100% pure mutilation. And 100% unnecessary.
It also dries out the tip and causes it to lose 40% sensitivity during sex once he’s an adult.
All this why? Cuz your man is too lazy to teach him to roll it back to clean it??
It’s totally your decision. I personally think you’re going to traumatize them when they become sexually active. There aren’t many guys that aren’t circumcised in the US. Not really a reason to make the decision, but I do think it’ll affect their confidence and their self-esteem when they realize they’re different from other guys.

We did our son but I left it completely up to my husband.
I really don’t think your friends and family need to know personally things like this.Its really just a cosmetic procedure. Ive worked for several doctors their main concern was cleanliness. Just teach your boys how to wash and clean themselves if you dont circumcise them. Their pediatrician can help teach them as well. They can decide for themselves when they are adults.

I’m an RN in a maternity ward and get asked this a lot. As long as you teach your son proper hygiene while he is young, there’s no health risk to your son not circumcision him.
Circumcision of a newborn is done with a band similar to the one uses on the umbilical cord. No pain and just falls of.
For an older child or adult it’s an extremely painful procedure.

I’m not sure why that would even be a thought to be honest! Unless it’s part of your religion. Although in my opinion it’s your child’s body and only he should be making that choice, also why is it anyone else’s business ?
My son is not circumcised and my husband is not either (non of the men in his family are). There is no reason for circumcision unless religious (and that would be up to you to make), but also what you want for your sons future. It is his body, and going and changing something that isn’t meant to be changed could end up causing more issue then leaving it be and having him make the decision later if he so chooses. Plus, there are more studies done on the cons of circumcision as well (infection from surgery, nerve ending issue, erectile dysfunction, etc).
I’ve decided that my boy will decide that for himself,if he want to do it he will do it himself.
Both of my sons are circumcised. Later in life if they want to make the choice it is much more painful. It’s easier for cleaning purposes and less chance of infections.
I think this is such a opinionated questions. Everyone will feel differently. Just follow what you think is best and forget what others have to say

As a Muslim, all
males HAVE TO BE circumcised. My grandson was 2 weeks when he was circumcised…
No. My son is fine without
Neither of my boys were circumcised. It’s not my decision to take a part of their body off for esthetic purposes. Neither have had problems. Theres a membrane that holds the skin to the glans. It’s there for a reason. You do not want to retract it. That’s when you run into problems. It will thin on it’s own. So dont let anyone convince you that its cleaner or healthier.
Yeah I have 3 grown sons and not a single one is not circumcised. I taught them proper cleaning and care and theyve always keep the area clean and healthy. No one should tell you, even tho they will, but it is a personal choice. Good luck
It’s really no big deal.
I’m a fan of the “wait and see if they choose to do it later” method.
I don’t think many males would choose circumcision on their own without a reason once they’re old enough to consent and understand the process.

This is something for you and hubby to decide… I wouldn’t say anything to the fam…
As for the whole do it don’t? From what I understand hygiene is the biggest issue… and that is easily solved by keeping it cleaned properly…
As for the hurting the baby? The body /brain doesn’t “remember” pain, we just remember it hurt like hell… its no traumatic and he will never remember the surgery… but he sure as hell will if he decides to do it as an adult…
As for the shallow comments about having and ugly penis… um. What penis ISN’T ugly… there is nothing “cute” about a penis. Seriously 
And every woman is taken back the first time the seen an uncircumcised penis…
There is a documentary on Netflix about circumcision that was pretty good… and some women say uncircumcised is more pleasurable…
But yeah the whole thing started because of religion… it is pretty much a cosmetic thing otherwise…
Just do what u and hubby feel is best… dont tell the fam…

Male circumcision is no different to female genital mutilation; unless there’s a ligitimate Medical reason to do so.
Cosmetic & cleanliness reasons are pathetic reasons to mutilate your son’s penis.
He deserves to choose himself with his own body autonomy.

My daughter is a CNA and all the older men keep getting infections because they can no longer properly clean themselves and by the time the CNA catches it it’s to late an infection. It’s very painful for them. As a young man their hygiene is not always a number 1 priority which gives his partner a nasty std or vaginosis. I just had my boy 2 weeks ago and he got circumcised its been a week and he’s already healed from it. Yes its traumatizing but it’s better for him in the long run.

My fiancé has two from a previous relationship and two with me, all four are circumcised. It’s easier to clean and manage. It heals quickly and doesn’t take much after the procedure to make sure that it doesn’t hurt them. In my opinion as someone who was with a man who wasn’t, it’s honestly gross. They get infected easily especially if you aren’t cleaning his penis properly as a baby-toddler.
It’s your child don’t let anyone pressure or make you feel like one way is right or wrong. We decided to circumcise no problems and is healthy and happy. Everyone has a different opinion on this. Good luck.
