Children, Cut or Uncut

[jgibbsd]

When you have a child will you have him circumcised?

[bidude94]

yes, i will have him circumcised

[UnknownError]

I would never do that to my kid, even if I was whatever religion that does it.
I mean, I don't think it should be up to the parent in my opinion.
If when the kid is old enough to make his own sensible decisions, then he should be allowed to choose.

It's not the sort of thing you choose to do later in life...
Not usually anyway.

And it's Judaism that says boys should be circumcised.

I wouldn't circumcise my child, no.

[Hockeyplayer1]

I believe they can make their own decisions for themselves. I wont have it done when they are born. If they choose to do it later in life thats there decision. I dont think its right for parents to make that decision for you.

[Jerkface327]

nope

[Joshuaharris]

ill let them keep their body complete and they can get circumcised if they want to when they are older. i dont think i really should have the right to remove it from them.

[Trinity_15]

im not and i like it, and no i wouldn't

[Impact13]

Yes....i think it looks better, and easier to maintain.... i always read posts about guys with foreskin issues.

[Joshuaharris]

I read a lot of things about guys have circumcision problems too, for instance cutting off the whole penis, ( http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2009/04/lawsuit-claims-botched-circumcision.html ) . plus it really isnt hard to clean.

[adam1995]

Definitely.

[TopGear]

I'm am and I don't care either way for myself, as I don't know the other way. But I wouldn't have my son circumcised. Because I think that is his decision to make on his own, second if there is no reason to do so, then why put a child in pain for it. I can understand that if it is causing an issue down there, then hell cut it off. But for useless purposes, no. Also there is a reason its there, You think the human body would have things that were useless? Why do you have toes on your feet? Keep balance, Why do you have a foreskin?

(http://www.healthcentral.com/drdean/408/9987.html)
The foreskin has three known functions: protective, sensory, and sexual.

During infancy, the foreskin is attached to the glans and protects it from urine, feces, and abrasions from diapers. Throughout life, the foreskin keeps the glans soft and moist and protects it from trauma and injury. Without this protection, the glans becomes dry, calloused, and desensitized from exposure and chafing.

Specialized nerve endings in the foreskin enhance sexual pleasure.

The foreskin may have functions not yet recognized or understood.

[Hank Hill]

I will have my children curcumcised XD 100%

[Teenage Art]

I think they should be circumcised :) My opinion. Better to keep clean and stuff lol

[dwl8fl]

no way will i do that to my son

[Nancy Boy]

Haha, I still don't know if I'm gonna end up with a woman, or a man, xD (as you can see in the signature), And I don't know if I want kids :P

[Scarface]

Puberty For Boys:arrow:General Questions.

This is being moved because it could also be answered by girls as well. As a woman has the child and has a say.

I think if I were to ever "have" a kid, I would circumcise. Reasons being, it's just a cleaner and less complicated way in my opinion.

[NVerson]

no way......

[BlueBanana]

Never, ever would I maim my child like that!

[man with freaky plan]

nope

[Jenna.]

If I have a child, which is highly unlikely considering I don't like kids and even if I would have one it would be just that...one, I would not have him circumsized.

[anoymous94]

I said yes, but sort of depends on what my wife thinks?

[jason93]

My son will be, I am so he will be as well

[dahardy9]

...........................

[jen691]

when i have kids i will not get any of my sons circumcised i will let that up to them if they want it done or not

[closed]

I wouldn't. Religion = SHIT, besides, i don't want my child judged because of his dick.
If my boy (in a grown enough age) says the he wants ho cut his genital, i won't hold him back, but i will explain to him what are the cons, and if he still wants it i will support him. I don't think this decision is up to me.

[boosterboy]

no unless there is a medical reason for it

[usedtobejv]

I wouldn't

[SimplyTom]

I would leave them be unless they wanted to have it done i would explain what would happen and if he still wanted to go ahead with it i wouldn't stop him.

[coeur de lapin]

Tricky, I've grown up with the cut penises being the norm, but since I've moved to Europe cut penises are rare.

And my boyfriend is Jewish but he doesn't gives two shits about whether or not to circumcise a kid. I don't think he would want to though, and neither would I. But I'm not sure. I guess it'd be up to our kid whether or not he would want the skin off his penis.

[Fact]

I wouldn't - I don't see the point, other than hygiene which is easily taken care of, unless there's a medical issue involved.

[Ender]

It really depends on my wife's opinion..

But I say yes.

[Bluesman]

No... I don't really see any reason to fuck with your body unless its necessary...

[Patchy]

If I ever have children they would be uncut unless my partner insisted they should be cut.

[The Cali Kidd]

I would let my wife say yes or no

[Dark_Hellfire]

Personally I wouldn't have my son cut. But if my wife wanted to I would have a discussion and talk it over

[poindexter]

seeing as how I am. I don't want my kid being confused why we would be different looking.

[Theatheist of doom]

I won't get him circumsized, that way he can choose on his own when he's old enough.

[Lee_16]

im cut and My dad is cut 2

I will have my children curcumcised to 100%

my little 1 going 2 look like me 2

[brandon.t]

NO cuz it should be his choice, not mine.....there is just no way to get it back on there >_>

[Charleigh]

isnt that like chopping off their willy?

[JuJu92]

I'd have him cut only because I reside in Africa and it's healthier to be cut over here with all the diseases going around.

[jimmy-magic]

No uncut for me

[poindexter]

isnt that like chopping off their willy?

no, you just cut off the extra skin. think of turtle neck versus mushroom.

[Aaron1995]

I think I would probally have them cut just because I am.

[lambo420]

Yeah i want him to look good

[KnifeParty]

Yes I'll have him circumcised. They won't remember it, and if they are uncircumcised it'll be awkward for them in the shower room or whatever.

[thecanjump]

No, his internal organ (glans) should stay internal and not become dry and less sensitive over the time, and count for the nerves that are in the skin itself which aren't in the shaft skin. An intact penis looks much better and is NATURAL. No need to change what mother nature gave us at birth. Just a side note, I am circumcised and don't find it pleasing.

[Mattattack]

Most likely

[Neptune]

I will not have my son (if I have one) circumcised unless there is a medical reason to have it done, and, even then - it must be very severe to have it done. I will however, ask, him when he comes of age if he wants to be circumcised, and, if he says yes - then I will have it done.

[mrclutch1976]

i would from what i hear having more foreskin is worst because the skin contains more bacteria and can get infected

[awsomekid23]

nope never

[josh93]

No i wont have them cut.

[Spock]

i probably will cause what happens if he needs help or advice? i couldnt help him cause iam cut and it is like what if he sees me and wonders that is just my opinion

[abear_1999]

no circumcision for my boys when i have them

[thecanjump]

i probably will cause what happens if he needs help or advice? i couldnt help him cause iam cut and it is like what if he sees me and wonders that is just my opinion

It's could the internet and there really isn't anything to explain, most boys will figure it out on there own. And you just explain to him what happened to you and not to him, nothing hard.

[Teencuriosity]

Yes i would because one i dont want to have to make sure he pulls it back to clean under there and two when he is in highschool and has to take showers he wont feel embarrassed if hes the only one not cut.

[AncientCatastrophe]

I would just because circumcision is like a requirement in our country
His friends would tease him if he's not

[kuuliluuk]

Definitely no circumcision at birth!

[kryptonite]

"Only clean what is seen."

It is THAT simple to take care of a baby boy's intact penis. Look up circumcision care. You need to care for the wound, check for adhesions and make sure it doesn't re-attach, and a whole lot more.

The removal of a perfectly healthy part of someone else's body for cosmetic reasons is something I won't be doing, especially when they are absolutely no health reasons.

[BOSS]

I'm cut and I'm not to darn happy about it and I don't want my kids to suffer like that.

[obiwan94]

Yes...I had tight foreskin and had to get cut later. I don't want any of my sons to have to go through that. Better to just get it over with while they don't remember it. I've also talked to all my friends who were cut at birth and they are happy with it.

I obviously don't know your individual situation, but generally speaking, a lot of "tight foreskins" are mis-diagnosed. Seperation can happen anywhere up to (and even past) the start of puberty. There are a lot of steriod creams and other methods to loosen up a foreskin that don't require amputation.

This always makes me happy when someone knows what they are talking about =)

Circumcision is a cruel thing to do to a new born boy. Can we bring the whole baby home people?

[Vonn]

Suffer what? So your penis is missing some useless skin. I really don't see the big deal. It's just a matter of preference.

It's not a life-altering decision. A tiny bit of skin is being cut off, not a whole arm.

[thecanjump]

The skin is not really useless, it keep your internal organ (glans) covered; this keeps it wet which keeps sensitivity. Over time your penis loses sensitivity because of the glans rubbing against your underwear, sheets, diaper in your early days, ect. This is not suppose to happen hence the reason we are born with foreskin.

It's a sex life-altering decision.

Did you know if they mess up on a circumcision they will either leave a messed up penis or change the poor boy into girl. Why risk that?

So like a vagina.
that was a joke. go on and laugh.

In terms of sensitivity, I don't think the difference is too significant. It's not like you can experience both and then compare them. (Well, you can, but I personally don't think it's worth getting cut when you're older. If it's going to be done at all, it should be done to mindless babbies.)

I'm pretty sure they'll enjoy sex regardless.

I did know that. The chances of that happening are pretty low; otherwise it wouldn't be done so often. Besides, what is life without risks?

[SenorGrand]

No i wouldn't- you start out with it for a reason- and if they wanted to, when they were old enough to, i'd be fine to let them. it makes sense for them to choose themselves, and its a bad thing,having a foreskin

[thecanjump]

pointless to argue with you...

[Vonn]

Okay. It was nice talking to you. (Also, "mutilated" is quite the exaggeration.)

To be on topic: I don't care.

I feel that there are some exxaggerations.
First, for uncircumcised guys it is not a sensitive glans that gives more pleasure, it is foreskin itself. This is what makes a biggest difference. And too sensitive glans is not a pleasure at all. With being sexually active glans desensitises anyways even with foreskin.

Being circumcised does not alter your sex life as much as you may think. Certainly it changes your masturbation techniques, but not your masturbation or having sex frequency. And not so much pleasure you get from orgasm, as orgasm happens in your brain. What is most affected is what you feel during foreplay. It may take longer as you feel less.

But this I agree to, it is absolutely unneccessary to circumcise boys at birth and without their consent.

[joeyjorulz]

uncut looks better...

[DanielJoe]

cut or uncut i dont see the difference besides looks, i'm cut, and so is the rest of my faily i dont see why it would be so wring in doing so

[Smith98]

Personally I prefer cut but I'd leave it up to his dad to know what's better for him

[kryptonite]

maimed: having a part of the body crippled or disabled
Mutilation or maiming is an act or physical injury that degrades the appearance or function of any living body, usually without causing death

As far as the "mindless babies" comment, look up some photos. Look at those "mindless babies" howling in agony. Pretty "mindless", right?

Then again, you don't care, yet obviously do care enough to keep coming back in a weak attempt to troll. Which one is it?
