Don't men deserve to be celebrated just as nature intended them to be...just like women?

Of course they do, I still haven't the foggiest clue how it all came about to begin with and I know that my mother, my sister, and I have vastly different bodies just from initial clothed sightings.

To say that you want your boy to be like his dad, I think is some sort of a knee-jerk reaction that is based in fear. It's like an uncirc'd dad can teach an uncirc'd kid the right way and wrong way of things, but would a cut dad be able to teach the proper way to his kid? WITHOUT having to ask someone (you know how men can be)...

I think I know one thing for sure - it will be a debate and an issue for all eternity until someone can produce hardcore evidence in favor of one over the other.

And this is slightly off topic and kind of abstract, but if we continue to remove the foreskin would evolution take the hint and stop producing the cells responsible or would it indeed prove its existence to be wholly necessary?

Probably not since we still have pinky toenails and vestigial tails. Only when something is truly not needed does nature do away with it.

I dunno how it is in most households but for my family Mama teaches potty habits...I guess it could be a bit daunting for cut men to think about.
Perhaps Kindred could field this? I have the benefit of Arch's Mom to ask how she trained him. Is it harder for a cut man to potty train an uncut son? Sexually speaking there isn't much difference between putting a condom on a cut or uncut penis. We've tried both pulling the foreskin back fully and leaving it natural and the condom seemed to slide off his penis easier if we retracted the foreskin.

I simply believe in nature and the way things are naturally done. The human body is a complex and truly amazing machine. A healthy body works perfectly exactly as it was made and every fine tuning detail has its reason to be. That's just my personal opinion...

Plain and simple: It's my dick. Don't cut off a piece of it without my permission. Done.

Males who keep their foreskin have more neurons and better stimulation in the area. Cutting it is cutting precious sensitive tissue.

My guy is cut, but if we have kids, we're leaving them natural.

See I have no children , but as a sexual woman, I just really enjoy a nice fat head, and I think its much sexier circumsized..

Personally, while I do find circumcised penises more attractive, I really feel circumcision should be a decision that should be made by the owner of the penis in question once they're old enough to know if they want it or not.

I know if I ever have male children I'm going to leave that decision to them unless it somehow becomes medically necessary (as in: if the child would die or suffer if it were left on, which I doubt would ever happen) for the foreskin to be removed.

I have seen a few television shows on this matter, as well as read a few articles and been involved in a few face to face talks with people on the matter.
Firstly, I am un-cut. I rather like it because I have the foreskin protecting the sensitive area of my pecker which I believe greatly increases my ability to wear whatever pants, jeans, or shorts I want with no underwear underneath. Plus with a foreskin covering the head of my pecker as it does, I retain sensitivity which makes sex feel great.
I also know there are a few different degrees in which a foreskin can be present. Mine is fully retractable, however my stepson who is uncut has his foreskin partially fused to his penis head...(I don't want anyone thinking that my knowing this is a sign I have an unhealthy relationship with the kid. I know these things because I was the main parental figure who aided in his potty training and taught him to take his own showers). I feel so bad for him from the bottom of his heart because he tells me whenever he tries to pull his skin back it feels like it's being ripped off and it makes him scream. I was not in his life when he was born so I don't know if he ever had the possibility to be circumcised.
And there is also the presence of foreskin which is open at the end, but not enough so that it may be fully pulled back to expose the head of the penis....I have seen this in a few porn movies.

Anyway, as being an uncut male; I see absolutely no health benefits to having the foreskin removed. Yes, it requires a bit extra cleaning, but so what. I learned early on that there are always certain areas of my body that require a bit more attention and that helped me gain responsibility for myself.

I do not believe one bit that circumcision is needed and must be forced upon a baby boy...because in fact the operation itself can be risky and can lead to nasty infection.
As I said before, having a foreskin is nice. I am not alone in this because I have seen on a few TV programs that there are men who grew up circumcised and chose during adulthood to have a foreskin surgically replaced....mostly because they felt robbed of their right of choice to have it growing up, and learned that the benefits of having the foreskin outweighed the risks of the procedure later in life.

And most importantly....in response to a section of the post....
"I have a son. Should I tell him to wash under his foreskin when he takes a bath?
Quick answer: No. Lightly longer answer: Hell, no."

If that is a parents' answer to this issue then they don't have business parenting a young boy. How could a responsible parent not emphasize personal hygiene to their child. I say shame on you.

I think it's like anything else we do in life, we learn by doing. Being as these are my first two boys, I've had no prior experience in teaching potty training to a boy whether circumcised or not. It's like changing your first diaper or giving baby's first bath. You have a general idea of what to do, but until you actually do it you don't know what works best. Whether I am circumcised or not has little bearing since I don't recall my own potty training.

We chose to circumcise our son, and to be perfectly honest there wasn't much thought or decision that went into it. Part of me now is a little sad about it because he was "whole" and now he's not. But at the same time, the surgery as an adult is much more of an ordeal.

Jesse,

Because foreskins should NEVER be forcibly retracted in children. The foreskin remains attached to the penis shaft for a period of time - during this period of time IT SHOULD NOT BE RETRACTED or it can damage the penis severely. Therefore, during this period of time, NO DIRT or germs or ick can build up underneath it - it's like a fingernail growing on a finger. This period of time (in which the foreskin SHOULD NOT BE RETRACTED and does not need to be cleaned under) is from birth up to whatever age it naturally retracts on its own. (Anytime ranging from 10 years all the way to 20 years of age.)

Pre-adolescent boys NEED NO INTERNAL CLEANING whatsoever and should NEVER be taught to forcibly retract their own foreskin during bathing.

A good rule of thumb with intact penises: ONLY CLEAN WHAT IS SEEN. No forcing, no yanking, no peeling, no ouch! It should not hurt. If something hurts, something is being done wrong.

I do not know the age of your stepson, but if he is young, it is quite likely that his foreskin has not retracted entirely yet. This is normal. The process should NOT be sped along through forcible retraction, it will likely retract itself with time and patience. Now, if he is already in his 20's and still experiencing pain with retraction he may need to see a doctor. But my educated guess is that he's young, and not at the age yet when foreskin naturally retracts on its own.

Funny, one of my teachers just used circumcision as an example of why Inheretance of acquired characteristics is false last week.

I don't understand why mutilating a baby's genitals is "standard procedure" in the US. It's disturbing to me. I would be pretty mad if I found out a vital piece of myself was removed without my consent.

I would love to have been a part of that lecture that day. Sounds fascinating.

I was always led to believe that the practice of circumcision in the U.S. wasn't something that was ever discussed, it was just the norm. I know European countries and indigenous people do not practice circumcision on a regular basis. Why the huge shift from their cultures to American culture...your guess is as good as mine.

I'm a Brit (now living in the US) and am uncut. I'm 42 now but I don't remember ever coming across anyone through school, college or whatever who was circumcised back home or when travelling through various parts of Europe. The big exception for us is if you're Jewish and I've known one or two European girls who had said that that was their first thought if they'd been with a cut guy.

I read a non-fiction book some years ago about British Special Forces in Iraq (around 1991). They got captured and were about to be put to death as Isrealis when one of them had the bright idea of dropping his pants to show he had a foreskin and therefore wasn't Jewish! The Iraqis were happy with that as proof and the soldiers were spared execution.

I am not sure if you speak from experience or if you have a doctorate which gives you the emphasis in which you say the foreskin must never be retracted.
I grew up through childhood just fine with retracting and cleaning under my foreskin. I never suffered from cleaning under my foreskin, my pecker did not shrivel up nor did my face fall off or anything. Doing so is not such a no-no that it would hold any dire consequences.
Yes my step-son is young, but you are wrong in figuring that I ever had forcibly retracted his foreskin....it happened when I was bathing him and he told me it hurt when he did it and I told him not to do it, simple as that.

My husband is circumcised, and if we have male children, I've told him I do not want them circumcised. His brother was not circumcised as a baby, and for a reason unknown to me, he had it done when he was 12 or so. I boil it down, basically, that I don't want what is essentially a cosmetic procedure performed on my child. It can wait til he's older, if it's something he wants to do. I also won't be piercing any ears until it's asked for, either

My hubby is intact(with foreskin) and he can hold out long enough for me to finish, he has never finished in under 10 minutes with me (been together for 10 years). yet it does make him more sensitive then circumcised men I knew, he doesn't like those lubed up hand jobs that circumcised guys like they have the extra skin you use to rub with .

I also have 2 boys and kept their skin on, I believe it's up to them to choose. it's not fair to take the choice away from them, plus there is always a chance of infection or something going wrong with the procedure. If they need to get rid of it when they get older because of some issue then they can do that, at least they have the choice.

my hubby is intact and is more sensitive then circumcised guys I've known but I've never had any complaints about him finishing too soon. he can finish me first or even at the same time, so cuming too soon is up to guy him self mentally.

My first boyfriend was uncircumcised, but he was not clean! That experience made me think that all guys with foreskins were dirty. My latest boyfriend is uncircumcised too, but he's super clean and has actually made me love it! If your boy is unclean try to make him understand and clean it, or walk and find someone who cares for their hygiene.
