To circumcise or not to

[hockeyfan]

This question is for both genders.

If u had a son would u have him cut? Y or y not?

[PinkFloyd]

I would not because it's his body and it belongs to him, not me.

I mean obviously if the operation was absolutely necessary, then I would do it. Overall, I think circumcision without consent is not right unless there is a valid reason other than looks, clenliness, etc.

[Shadow08200]

As I am uncut, i'd probably have my son become uncut as well. Unless it had to be done, that's the way i'd want it to be. Whenever he gets older, he can always get it cut if he wants.

[connorftw]

im cut and dont really mind but if i did have a son i probably would leave him uncut and let him make the decision when hes old enough to

[ksdnfkfr]

I would not have him cut. Its a weird mostly American tradition that serves
no real purpose whatsoever. I'm surprised so many kids born in 2000 were
still getting cut.

[AlexOnToast]

NO! I would let him decide for himself. At the end of the day, you are forcibly removing a functional, very personal piece of anatomy from a person who can't say no. It violates so many human rights. I think it's a horrible thing to do that to an innocent child

[Saint of Sinners]

Don't think I will. Don't see the point, plus it's his body, and I have no right to 'Mutilate it' for lack of a better term.

[Jay2daZ]

Noooooo way he gets what's he's given...

[john.doe1111]

I wouldn't coz I am not and It is so much better that way

[Harizu]

I wouldn't unless there were some medical problems (like phismosis) because I think it's the person's choise and if he wants to get circumcised he will decide to get himself circumcised when he'll be old enough to decide. Also if he didn't like his forced circumcision and found out I decided to make it to him he might hate me afterwards.

[workingatperfect]

I won't because I just don't see the point. It seems like a waste of money.

[Arsenalfan123]

No Theres no point

[nklarke]

Yeah, no doubt about it.

[Eurasian guy]

Definitely not.

[Leon03]

I'd leave him intact. If he wanted to have it done later in life though.
I'd be supportive to him.

[JamesJB]

noooo

[BeyondOne]

Yes. It's cleaner

[deregisterme]

I'd leave it and let him choose (unless there's a medical requirement to do so)

[Sandra Main]

No i wouldn't because i don't see a reason to have. it done.
My brorhers are uncut and they have no problems.

[thermid]

I dont think there's a reason to. In some countries doctors have said they dont support the practice and i think even germany banned all circumcision

To people who think it's cleaner to be cut, when you're uncut all you have to do is pull back the foreskin when you're in the shower

[Stuey1]

no, i feel sory for eveyone who is cut unless they wanted it

[WHTaft09]

I certainly would not. There's no point.

[Plasma]

No, I wouldn't. I personally never got the option because I was so young, and I really wish that I had at least gotten to make the decision for myself.

[Duke96]

I probably would.

[airjordan97]

This question is for both genders.

If u had a son would u have him cut? Y or y not?


If and when I do have a son or sons, then I would get them circumsized because I find it more pleasurable when I j/o or have sex, and it's a healthier option; as well as it being what Americans have done so yeah.

[jen698]

I would leave it and let him choose for him self. only way I would have it done is if there is something wrong with it

[elmoc]

Absolutely not. There is no valid reason, outside of a rare phimosis, for circumcision. Why should you let him keep it? Because it contains thousands of wonderful nerve endings!

[Shailene]

have been with 3 boys - all uncut - never had a problem

[janiceturner]

No I won't have my son circumcised

I don't know why American parents do it to be honest, everywhere on the body gets dirty eventually, so by that logic we should also have our ears, our noses and our butts cut off. Haha. And it's got absolutely nothing to do with "looks" at all. The penis ain't supposed to look "nice", it's just a sexual organ that doubles up as a thing that dumps waste... Why should you be the decider of what your son's penis looks like? While you might prefer the looks of a circumcised penis, your son might not.

[katief]

I probably wouldn't. It's not that common where I come from. If the father wanted it done, I suppose I would have to consider it. It's not that big of a deal really.

[AlexOnToast]

If and when I do have a son or sons, then I would get them circumsized because I have been and it looks gross to not be circumsized.

That's not really a valid reason, you would deprive your son(s) of a functional, important and healthy part of his own body for no reason other than you want his genitals to look the same as your own?

[KellyNC]

I wouldn't. Nothing to do with looks, pleasure, personal preference or anything like that, I just don't see it was something it as something i have any reason to feel like I need control over. If he did decide he wanted it done that'd be fine and I'd support that, but not circumcising is the only real way I could allow him to make that decision for himself

[nino51300]

I wouldn't. Im cut and it sucks. Its his decision. Come age 13-15 if he wants ti get cut fine but i wont mess with my son's body like that unless absolute need be

[trustn01]

I'd definitely would not because IMHO it is just terrible to do it.

[JollyToes]

I don't think it would.

I have justified me reason better

[AlexOnToast]

I have justified me reason better

1. Were you circumcised at birth? If yes, then there is no way you could know what is more pleasurable.
2. Circumcision makes the penis more clean the way Arm Amputation makes the armpits cleaner. It has been scientifically proven that Circumcision isn't a healthier option, good hygene is. If you wash everyday, like you should, there is no difference. If it was "unhealthy" to have a foreskin then we would not have evolved one. Simple logic. The foreskin plays an important part in the function of the penis and removing it might make it easier to clean by the fraction of a second it takes to retract the foreskin, but does that justify sacrificing a relatively important and functional part of the male anatomy? Of course not.

At the end of the day it is removing a piece normal, healthy and functional body part from a person who cant say no. At least have enough respect for your own child to allow him to choose whether or not to keep part of his own body. By your logic, it should be perfectly fine to give a newborn tattoos as well.

In short, no, you have not really justified mutilating a child for essentially no reason other than your own personal preference.

It's all a matter of opinion. And no it's not mutilation so shut up. You obviously have no respect for the opinions of others and traditions that they hold. So at the end of the day you lose, I win.

[AlexOnToast]

"I have the right to remove a part if my childs own body because I personally prefer it" ... I'm afraid that's not a "Tradition" I agree with.
And yes, I have all the respect for other cultures and traditions, so long as they don't contravene basic human rights, which unnecessary neonatal circumcision blatantly does. I have not a single thing against circumcised people, but it is just morally wrong to subject an innocent child to a procedure that desecrates their personal rights, be it legal or not. And telling me to "shut up" really just makes your argument look very dumb.

And btw, if you were just "sharing an opinion", why did you feel the need to quote everybody who is against circumcision and point blanc tell them they are wrong? That's whats known as hypocrisy my friend...

[Harley Quinn]

Keep this on topic and keep all personal insults and or comments out of it. If you want to do that, take it up in PM.

[hockeyfan]

I agree with this post:

[BJustinT]

Nup I wouldn't

[Waleedbt]

yeah, my son (if i get one) will get circumsiced at birth.

I should add: when my son is 7 days old, so not exactly at birth.

[Tendencies]

Yea, I would. Mainly because I am and if my parents thought it was best for me I'd think it'd be best for him.

[kinger]

Yes because im cut and i love it so im sure he would to

[hockeyfan]

yeah, my son (if i get one) will get circumsiced at birth.

Is this for religious reasons?

[hockeyfan]

I'm curious, do u want ur son to look like u? Is that wat this is about?

[Shoebox12]

No opinion on the matter really as i don't intend on having children of any sort. Just wanted to point it out that circumcision (or "mutilation" as the more politically incorrect people call it) doesn't actually contravene any human right that I'm aware of. (otherwise there would be many jewish and american parents brought upon charges)

It is no more of a violation than a parent having say a child's cleft palate repaired, a condition with no real purpose other than to normalize the child's appearance?

If you're going to wait until a child is old enough to consent themselves for medical treatment your child is going to miss out on vaccinations and any non-emergent treatment.

[elmoc]

Absolutely not! Why remove 10,000+ nerves that are solely there for pleasure. I am cut, but I will not cut my son.

The old argument about circumcision being cleaner- any guy can get nasty down there with poor hygiene. I imagine an intact guy has just as much fun washing his penis as I have washing mine! Love that shower wand...

[killerrockyroad]

Yes i would

[Voodo]

no. Most people in the UK are not so

[Gopher]

Its another one of these topics, my question for everyone is would you perform female circumcision on your new born daughter? If you agree to circumcise your son then circumcise your daughter as well.

For those that don't know basic female circumcision is the removal of part or all of the clitoral hood (sound familiar?) It happens at varying scales in some African and middle eastern countries.

Food For Thought.

[Baseball1999]

I would cut my son. I'm personally cut and I like it. Although being cut doesn't serve a medical purpose, it is easier to maintain. I personally think its how you are raised. If you are cut then most likely you will cut your son, visa versa.

[Zachary G]

i would because its easier to keep clean

[Gopher]

I would cut my son. I'm personally cut and I like it. Although being cut doesn't serve a medical purpose, it is easier to maintain. I personally think its how you are raised. If you are cut then most likely you will cut your son, visa versa.

I was left intact by my father who was cut at birth.

Many parents are leaving their sons intact because of the new studies concerning the reality of the operation. Such as the baby being able to feel pain and there being many possible health complications due to the operation.

[sparkles]

I'm honestly not sure what I would do. If I had to decide right now I would probably have him circumcised.

[Erotic cake]

I would not because it's his body and it belongs to him, not me.

I mean obviously if the operation was absolutely necessary, then I would do it. Overall, I think circumcision without consent is not right unless there is a valid reason other than looks, clenliness, etc.

I completely agree

[JonBarleyCorn]

I would only if there is a ton of loose skin -- but not all the way. I am like "half cut." When soft helmet is always covered so it is sensitive but when hard skin peels back by itself. Not a water faucet!

[jjj8995]

yes. b/c its better

[AlexOnToast]

yes. b/c its better

How is it better? And you don't think your son should have the right to make the choice for himself?

[jjj8995]

How is it better? And you don't think your son should have the right to make the choice for himself?

less chance of hiv

[AlexOnToast]

less chance of hiv

That has more or less been debunked as common myth. Even if it was true, contraception would eliminate the need for it.

[DarkHorse4eva]

I would not, both because it's his decision and his body, but also because I prefer to be uncut

[Ben101]

I would NOT get him cut, Unless it was due to a medical reason.

[Lisa R]

If I have a baby boy I would probably leave the decision up to the father of the baby.
I can see both sides of the pros and cons of haveing it done and to my views are both are even.

[Dark Hatred]

I would. Its cleaner and easier to deal with. I am cut and he might as well be too.

[hermanthefish]

Since I am jewish, and will raise Jewish children, they will be circumcised. That has nothing to do with cleanliness, preference of other people. It is solely a religious thing

[lynncharlie]

yes I would. I think it looks better and is healthier in the long run....

[Ethan]

No, I would not get him cut unless it had to be done for a medical reason and there was no other choice. I think that doing it just because I’m cut and so it’s easier to keep clean are not very good reasons. A foreskin has a lot of nerves and it keeps the head more sensitive, so why just cut it off? It doesn’t make any sense.

[Karkat]

I would not because it's his body and it belongs to him, not me.

I mean obviously if the operation was absolutely necessary, then I would do it. Overall, I think circumcision without consent is not right unless there is a valid reason other than looks, clenliness, etc.

These are my feelings as well. Sometimes medical reasons come up, some guys just want to be circumcised, but it should be their choice.

[Hanson]

Yes. It's cleaner
Agree with you as it is cleaner . However it's his body and he has his own right to decide. If you have him cut, what if he prefer to be uncut in future ?

[Hanson]

Let him decide when he is mature enough. My dad had me cut but I prefer to be uncut. Especially for wanking

[SciMassKid]

I like being cut

[Ethe14]

I'd leave him intact unless there was a medical reason for it.

[BillyTheKid96]

I would because it's cleaner and can prevent infections in the future.

[phuckphace]

absolutely not, circumcision when there is no medical justification is stupid and pointless

[Sminkelaks]

No way. I don't see the point.

[Zanman11]

I'm uncut and okay with it, so I would definitely leaver my son intact because corcumcising him is a permanent alteration to the body, that he may not be happy with. Not to mention, he would have no say in the alteration of his body. If he wants to get cut when he's older, all the power to him but he's coming home
From the hospital uncut

[Forsakenbymyself]

Absolutely not. There's no valid reason for that.

[CabbageMedul]

yes I would. I think it looks better and is healthier in the long run....

That's merely a myth. In reality, it can actually increase risk to diseases, damage to skin, etc.

[Bboy35]

no. Most people in the UK are not so

I'm also uncut and I love it.

[tom17]

I wouldn't. It's his body, so, if when he gets older he wants to get cut, I'd approve it and understand him.

[jeremy96]

I'm cut and I like it, it's not like it's fully taking your manhood a way but its only taking 25% off your manhood and putting you at 75% manhood

[Aajj333]

Uncut: i wish i was uncut, masturbation would feel better, and it is pointless unless its for your religion.

[Boar]

I don't know. I think I would get them both circumcised. Especially since I am.
