****** I realized I didn't put 'maybe' on the poll...just use 'what is this' as maybe*****
What do you think of this?
Fh and I have had a few heated deabtes over the circumcison issue, and we don't even plan to have kids for years.
The reason it came up again recently is because on our favorite show (penn and teller bullsh--), they had an episode on it, and they actually showed circumcisons taking place. EW. It was SO scary.
My take on it is that it's barbaric, it's completely uneccesary and it causes under strain on a baby. They're now saying that there's no medical reason for it (just take a shower!), and I just can't see removing it for no reason. I'm not going to go into surgery to have my appendix out if it isn't enflamed. Should I also have my newbors undergo tonsilectemies? I mean ONE DAY it MIGHT be a problem....To me I don't understand the purpose of it. Also, some people say it removes 25% of highly sensitive skin, so it also takes away ptential sexual pleasure, etc etc.
I know this has been a long standing religious tradition for some 'cutting' the covenant. However, there is a LOT of really barbaric stuff in the old testament, and we're better off having left it behind, maybe this is one of those things that western culture should wake up and realize is barbaric and uneccesary...
What are your thoughts?

I just have a question though... NO FLAMES HERE.. But when potty training does you hubby actually show your son his thingy?
I have an even better question. How many men are actually active in potty training exercises at all?

Re: Kind of a parenting questions, but CIRCUMCISON
I know that this is a little late int he post, but I have 'dated' both men with & without being circumsized. None of the men that were not circumsized had a propblem with the way they looked, and form personal experience, enjoyed sex on a much different level.......less 'work' involved for both parties.
DH agrees. He wishes that he was not circumsized.
I would not circumsize. JMHO

I think anyone who has witnessed an act with and un cut man can see the obvious difference. It is a sensational sleeve that is there for a reason.

This is very very true!!! While I've only dated 2 guys who were not circumsized I could definitly see there was a big difference between them and men who were.

My dh is old school Italian and he is not circumcised and neither is ANY male in his family. At first I want our son to be circumcised but after reading up on it and talking with dh ALOT about the issue we decided not to do it.
I think it is a personal choice. I notice most people will do whatever their husband is as so they do not look 'different' when being potty trained and having to explain why their penis looks different from dads.
I just have a question though... NO FLAMES HERE.. But when potty training does you hubby actually show your son his thingy?
Well we havent potty trained our son yet, BUT as almost anyone with a toddler will tell you... they dont really let you do much by yourself. Our son CONSTANTLY will follow you when you go into the bathroom, and when one of us is home alone with the baby and we need to shower we leave the door open so if something happens when can hear what is going on. So he also sees us in the shower from time to time. So yes he sees my DH's thingy.

We're having our son in a month and we have decided to circumcise him. Daddy wants his little boy to look the same as him. The doctor says they will give him a local anesthesia so there will be little pain.
