Look up intactivism. :-)

@wifeofmrsuarez, sorry but I'm not gonna sit back and let people think that genital mutilation is okay or should be the norm. And I'm not "bashing" anybody, but if you don't do research on something as serious as strapping your infant to a board and removing a part of your child's most private body part, then I probably wouldn't associate with you in real life. I'll do me, you do you. It may be their child but it doesn't make it right. It's literally illegal in other countries and is the same thing as female genital circumcision, which is illegal here. So it's my baby I should be able to tattoo them? Cut their finger off? Pierce their tongue? Change their body for the rest of their life by causing physical pain for my own selfish reasons ? Okay thanks for the tip :-)

whatever we want to look up but we decide what's best for our kids.

@bria.k, we can look up the vaccinations researches, ear pierced researches. in the end of the day we make the decision. don't bash others who want to do it. it's their child not yours.

I have to agree with @bria.k on this one. I have 2 boys, their father was uncircumcised and we didn't circumcise the boys. My mother had a fit, but I read alit aboutnit and felt it wasn't necessary to put my boys thru that kind of pain or discomfort (even if they "don't" remember) We taught them proper hygiene and how to clean it. I notice they are more sensitive when they pull the skin back and wash but Dr. said it is perfectly normal.

& when they get older they can decide to get the procedure done themselves.

my husband has cried over being circumcised...That's not a joke. I really think that's something that should be a personal choice of your child later in life....less and less people are doing it nowadays and no one in any other country does. its a useless surgery.

I was there too... I researched it then talked to my dr. I'm never gonna be 100% comfortable with it but I think it's best

@bria.k, He did it for medical reason NOT TO make his dick look pretty. Now I can say maybe he didn't clean his stuff right and that's why he had to have the surgery done. But I don't think he did it to impress the females. Mother in law even told me it was something he was dealing w for a while and he didn't want to get it done but he had no choice.

@faithfulness88, people legit make fun of men's uncircumcised dicks. Say they're gross or ugly. I'm sure he felt pressure to have a prettier penis. The extra skin is his foreskin and it's supposed to be there. He was born with it for a reason lol.

I ultimately left it up to dad. He decided against circumcision even though he himself is. If our son ever questions it, it'll just enforce the concept that individual bodies are different and it's normal. Baby is born with it, it's completely natural and more moms are opting to forgo circumcision these day. Unless it's needed for whatever reason LATER in life, we choose to forgo it. You need to do your own research on it though. I just wouldn't feel right doing that to my newborn, same thing with piercing. It's not mine to alter to my liking. Kind of weird tbh.

I let dad have the final say because he's the one who's lived with a penis lol

People do it to keep bacteria from happening. My brother in law had it done at the age of 24 because of the extra skin. @bria.k

@mamalamadingdong, the amount of people who still circumcise baffles me!!! It's so easy to read up on before you make decisions like that and people just go for it because it looks better or it's something their family does. I'm so glad my honey is on the same page as me, too. It would've been a big issue if he wasn't! I'm very passionate about it too.

I think it's a personal choice because ppl are so torn on it like vaccinations and piercing little girls ears...research it and decide for yourself....I did it

@mamalamadingdong, 🙏🙏🙏

My son had it done and this one will too.

@bria.k, ^

@beia.k, you and I are totally on the same page, girl. I didn't pierce my daughter's ears either. I don't believe it's my right to alter or mutilate my children for cosmetic reasons.

Very passionately AGAINST circumcision. I've done more than my share of research and nope, no way.

I did with our son. There is science to prove both sides... really just a personal choice

It's not hard to teach a kid with foreskin how to keep it clean. It's not necessary to mutilate your child's genitals, so I mean, I wouldn't do it. It has no reason other than that it's become the norm. It doesn't stop infections or any type of issues (this has been proven scientifically.) you should do actual research though, and not listen to what other people are doing. I also don't agree with piercing a baby girls ears. Both cause them physical pain for nothing other than aesthetics and taking away their right to choose whether or not they want to go through unnecessary pain. Also foreskin has 20,000 nerve endings in it and by taking it away it takes away all of that feeling, and not having anything to protect the sulcus (where the shaft meets the tip) completely desensitizes it. A lot of circumcised men don't know this, and a lot that do are upset with their parents for choosing to take away sexual pleasure from them. But most people who decide to circumcise don't have an actual reason other than its what the dad has and it's prettier, they don't learn the cons of it. It's the same thing as female circumcision in other countries. It's the norm for them but it's crazy to us.

my son is circumcised it only took like 10 mins if that and he didn't hurt or anything just clean and apply Vaseline. its your decision but I personally would do it

Isn't circumcised, is circumcised

I would. My doctor told me when we talked about it that normally if dad is done its best for baby to be done also. The reason is because if a dad isn't he can teach his son how to properly clean, if he isn't he won't know how to teach his son how to properly clean.

Your choice. I think you should consider dads choice also. I got my baby circumcised. Dad wanted him to be.

If I have a boy, he will be getting it done.

I had my 2 boys done and this one will be as well.

We are

i got.both my boys done and will be getting this one done also
