Same, I feel like there is this weird stigma against a mother showing her son how to wash himself down there. Women I hang around with and I help my nephews and younger male cousins wash down there (by teaching them, of course), they tend to go "Really? You DO that?" as if it was a foreign concept, like babies will naturally know how to wash themselves.

My brothers are uncircumcised because my mother wanted them to make the choice for themselves. The problem with that, specifically in the case of the eldest brother, is that he doesn't even brush his teeth regularly and he's 24 now. I don't think he cleans himself well or often, so that's a problem from all perspectives.

You can't know when they are children if they'll be inherently lazy, but you could avoid a lot of worry as a parent that way, assuming you trust the doctor to do it right.

My husband is a doctor so he is in favor of circumcision for preventing penile cancer (he says it's horrendous, and he's had patients that had to lose their penis because of it), but he does admit if you keep yourself clean it's not as much of an issue. It also decreases urinary tract infections within the first year of life. He does think it prevents other STD transmission to an extent, but I didn't get the impression that he thought it was huge.

How do you get a guy in this lazy generation to care enough about personal hygiene? That would be my only concern. And yea, circumcision as a "cure" for masturbation is a bit sadistic, imo, but circumcising an infant doesn't have the same purpose.

Besides masturbation is completely healthy!

Ok, i know this is a pretty old thread. But i wanted to drop a line or two on it.

I don't think it's really healthy or sane to remove a part of the body that isn't diseased or gonna kill you.

I've been chopped and didn't even know it happened until I was around 12 or so. Later I find out i've lost about 50000 happy spots...I'm mad. Not really really mad at my parents, mad at the control issues that caused the whole damn thing to begin with. It's a religion thing really.

None of my kids, boys or girls, will get anything chopped off from between their legs. non-negotiable.

I just saw this and as far as fake foreskins go - can you get any more unhygienic? This is something I can seen worn for long periods of time and not taken care of properly. Plus it's made of "rubber latex". Wow. Just.. wow.

Yeah, not even silicone. Plus, unlike a real foreskin, you can't (or it doesn't appear) that you can pull it back to clean. Also, it covers the whole shaft which makes it unhygienic. I understand guys wanting their foreskin back, but I don't think this is the answer.

Feedings by bottle are held 2 hours prior. Its okay to breastfeed a newborn right before a circ (all he gets is colostrum)
They are given a sedative called Sweet-ease prior to the circ. They are injected at the foreskin with a needle finer than an insulin syringe's with lidocaine. They feel nothing till the first time they pee. After they pee,bacitracin and zinc is placed on the penis with gauze each diaper change.
I am not for or against circumcision, but after birth is the quickest and least painful option. Dad usually wants his son to have a penis similar to his own. (InHawaii, most male babies of all ethnicities are circumcised. The doctors perofming are also varying ethnicities-Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Hawaiian, Japanese, Fillipino and white. Tongans, Micronesians, Chuukese, Samoans often choose to have their sons circ'd even though it is not part of their culture because they like how it looks and its popular here. Believe it or not, men who are straight check out other men all the time.
The last time I assissted with a circumcision was yesterday (usually a few a day).

I don't really understand why all of you care so much about whether you are circumcised or not. As far as I'm concerned, you don't need a fancy sports car to impress me, you just have to know how to drive, if you get me. lol

Looks is about the only argument you have, I think that women who are willing to perform circumcisions on their sons should be willing to have their inner lips cut off. I have a foreskin and it's definitely the most sensitive skin on my entire body including the glans. It's a purely cosmetic procedure with detriments to sexual health. If an uncut man want to feel or look cut, he just needs a cock ring and it keeps the skin pulled back.

The only reason that it is furthered by the medical community is profit. Physicians and OB's used to fight like mad over it, a few hundred bucks for ten minutes work sounds good to anyone, except the kid getting half of his sexual pleasure system lopped off.

And who on this website is against more sexual pleasure?

Really interesting!

Just one more item in the growing stack of evidence that circumcision removes something valuable and should only be performed on willing adults, not helpless infants.

It seems like the main point of a foreskin is nerves...what would the prosthetic even do?
