ladies having boys
Did u guys do circumcision....I think I will but nervous about procedure. What is there to expect??
There are many nervendings that develope in the foreskin. By sexual age, it actually enhances a man's experience! I wouldn't cut my girl's clitoris, why would I cut my boy's foreskin? It's how nature made them. If you teach a child proper hygene, they won't have any issues with jock-itch or any of that fun stuff. Ofcourse it's a personal and/or religious choice, so to each their own. I personally just don't see enough reason to snip any body part off my baby. (my husband is jewish & cut - there just isn't any scientific data backing up it's necessity)
A penis should be natural and no guy would feel that way if they were taught the real way a penis should look. If the skin should not be there they would not be born with it, I also refuse to scar my son up for no reason. I am having a boy and I am choosing not to have it done. Weather or not really is a personal choice that a mother makes for someone else (her child). If my son feels strongly about it after growing up that the natural look is normal then he can get it done, if he got the procedure and grew up and did not like it he can't get it undone. I am ok with him doing it later but not ok with him not being able to undo it. Good luck, you can watch it on websites just Google or go to you tube. I am a nurse and I cried and vomited a little at the thought of my son going through that for nothing.
I had my son done. I know a couple men that are not. One had it done as an adult and said he wished his parents had it done BC it was to embarrassing for him as a man not to. The other couldn't afford to have it done and last I talked to him was still looking into it. He also was ashamed of the way it looked. In my very own opinion if its not done, its gross and just ugly. Any woman I know that we have had this convo thinks so also. In a sexual sense, its just a very big turn off. It may sound shallow but its the truth. Me personally would never put my son through the embarrassment of being ashamed of the way his penis looks.
I had planned to with my son who was born almost two years ago. I didn't care either way at first, but my boyfriend was circumcised and wanted his son to look like him. Once he was born though we opted not to have it done. He was perfect the way he was, and we didn't want to cause him any unnecessary pain.
I had both of my boys done, and have no regrets. My delivering doctor did it around 9 days old, and we had no issues. Just use lots of vaseline so the diaper never sticks to it while healing. We are having our third boy and will be getting it done again. A friend's little guy just had to get it done at 3 years old because he had excessive foreskin. I would not want to have to do it later in life!
That is not true. Lol!
My oldest son didn't get circumcised and I'm not doing it to this baby.
It is a simple procedure, and most of the time there are no complications. I definitely advise doing your own research. Fun fact: circumcision originally started to try and prevent boys/men from masturbating (which obviously didn't work). Hospitals made more money from this, so it continued.
When people realized it didn't prevent masturbation, doctors created other reasons to have it done. Now it's only standard procedure in the US. No other country does it.
It's all very interesting andeven though I'm having a girl I decided toget as much information about this as possible so that way if its a boy I will be fully educated

I had my son circumcised and I am having this one circumcised as well. The procedure is simple and you just have to make sure to apply the ointment so that the penis doesn't get stuck to the diaper.
@jmes..what happened when the skin grew back is what happened to my son and the complication from that is called penile adhesion. It took two weeks me pulling gently everyday to get his skin to unstick from the tip..
My doctor told me based where your at, you maay want or not want it done. Like here in MI most guys have it done. In CA i guess most guys dont have it done. My son had it done. Ive never seen a uncircumcised penis and aat the time when i googled it, it scared me lol but aall on what you want to do, make sure to put the vasolean on my mom warned me of that saying she stopped after a month with my brother and it grew back, that they haad to redo it when he was like 1 and it seemed a whole hell of a lot more painful. The tip of my sons was just red, and he didnt cry or scream when i haad to put stuff on it. It didnt seem to bother him but then again just being a day old he didnt know what was going on
We are. I was freaked out about doing it but my husband made some great points and him being a male I want my one and only son to be circumsized.
If our child is a boy he will have it done. It is still very common and some of the reasons to have it done are strong arguments. So are the ones to not. It really is your choice based on your beliefs and family traditions. Yes there is healing time and yes its a permanent choice. Don't feel as though you have to make a choice one way because people you know think a certain way.
It's not so much the procedure and pain you should worry about because that comes and goes quickly. Getting cut is actually becoming less and less popular over the past few years. People are realizing it's completely unnecessary, and a lot of males feel upset that the decision was made for them.
Make sure that you do plenty of research of your own before deciding, and even watch how the procedure is preformed. If you can't handle watching it.. maybe don't do it to your son

My son will be.
Yea, I was hesitant to get my this second one circumcised, but I'm going to do it. U just have to be careful and take care of it for much longer than des or anyone will u cuz of complications like penile adhesion which is what happened to my son. Luckily I read up on it and corrected it before his skin permanently fused to his glans. This was four or five mos after he got circumcised and he was not happy when I separated his skin. It took two weeks of gently pulling on him so as not to hurt my boy. That's y I was hesitant to get this one, but I know how to take care of it.
I'm not getting my son done. I think it's all based on your belief. One of my sisters had both her boy cercumsized and my other sister didn't with her son.
My first son had it done and this baby will also... They did it right at the hospital and it took 5 minutes... I hated changing his diaper while.it healed tho because you worry ur hurting him and it always seemed to stick to his diaper.... But after a week it was over and all is well
I had my son circ. But would suggest not letting an OB do it...request a urologist. My son had to have revision as well as 2 of my friends sons.
