circumcision vs. non circumcision

[wanda_walls]

Im having a boy but im debating whether to get my little man circumcised or not what are the pros and cons? Ftm

Well you should discuss this with the baby daddy. Cause he has a right to have his say. If he's circumcised then he may be for it. If he's not circumcised then why? I'm not going to circumcise my baby. My Dr said if the baby appears healthy and if the penis isn't infected or if there's no complications with the penis then there's no need for it. I won't do it unless it's for medical reasons

Before u decide u should watch how it's done! I think it's so unnecessary my husband nor my son are circumcised n my husband has never had an infection or std, up to u thou

I have heard several different pros and cons to this, but from many horror stories of men who are older and needed to have it done for medical purposes, they said it was the absolute worst pain of their lives and wished their moms would have just had it done as a baby... after tons of research and questions to other moms I have decided to go ahead and do it....

Honestly, it should be your son's choice. There are NO medical benefits, it is NOT easier to clean than an uncircumcised penis, and it is a very painful process. Many argue that that fact doesn't matter because he won't remember the act, but consider a few things: (ignoring the fact that using that argument is **** parenting in my opinion) as a sexually active adult, he will be plenty aware of the  fact that he was robbed of sexual sensation as an infant. He will be aware that he was forced to undergo a purely cosmetic procedure as an infant. Unless the procedure is medically necessary or it is performed for religious reasons, he should be able to make those decisions - it is his body after all.

Its much healthIer to have it done. Less likely for infection uti stds and more.  it isnt just a religious thing... It is a health thing. And it doesnt bleed much or hurt much or affect the baby tramaticlly later in life if you circumcise him when he is 8 days old... Proven fact. No bad mental effects or traumatic memories.
To not get it done... Is fine too. Just later on itculd be dr recommended to get it done and if hes a kid it could be traumatic

Its so much Cheaper to have them Circumcised at Birth. Plus they Grow up to be more Confident as teenagers and Men. Their Future is in your hands as their Mothers.

I'm having my 3rd son and all my Boys are Circumcised. I can't imagine having to violate my 3year by pulling his foreskin back.

At what age do women with uncircumcised sons start to teach them to pull it back? It looks Painful, and do you pull the skin back every time they poop?Or eevery time you Bathe them?

Its easier to wash and and Go, the penis heals faster than the umbilical cord. The Baby doesn't even know it.
