How do you get one as a baby?

How do they do in now?

I think the 2 methods are the Gomco clamp, which fits over the top of the penis and seperates the foreskin from the head, and in one swift movement snips it off.

The other way is with a PlastiBell, which works basically the same way, seperating the foreskin from the head, and the doctor snips the skin off with a scapel. The bell part that goes over the head stays in place for a few days to promote healing/prevent bleeding.

You can tell which one was used, the Gomco leaves a fairly round line around the penis, the PlastiBell, leaves the same brown line, but on the underside, there's a little 'V' the extends up from the middle, where the frenulum was.

It's a scary thought how they did it in the 1800's, without anesthetics, (I think that most civilized pediatricians and Obstretcians use Novocain now), without proper sterilization, and without those gizmos to minimize risk.

Circumsision has been around for hundreds of years, its a Jewish right of passage. Its been around for quite a while!!! And nowadays the parents decide right after birth, and it is done almost immediatly. No long-lasting pain.

ok this is what i've heard. If its going to be cut for a religous reason as in if you are jewish they will get the local rabi to pay a trip to your house and they cut the person when they are a baby im pretty sure they use a specail type of scissors...

its basicly a doctor pulls back the foreskin and cuts it with whatever a scalpel or whateve they used in the 1800s
