Aww, looks like Horse is still angry about his foreskin being cut off. Got to pass on the damage, after all, even if it means having your own sons mutilated.

Fear not, Horse! You still have hope!

I would say no because if it ain't broken don't **** with it. And the chances for defects are high. A good friend of mine has a defect that he wouldn't have gotten had he not gotten the unkindest cut.

I'm not sure if they still use this, but back in the day when my friend got cut they used a heated needle thing, hot knife through butter thing. Well anyway the doctor must have been drunk, and well his pee hole isn't just out the tip its up too, about 2 1/2 times as big as it should be. The doctor like, missed, or something and burned a larger pee hole into his penis. I'm not sure if affects his pissing but man, is having no foreskin worth having an XXL pee hole?

Also this is the 3rd circumcision thread I can remember, just some OT facts

On a related note, I took a sociology class where they explained the idea behind male and female circumcision. Basically it came down to that circumcision was suppose to do away with the part that most resembled the opposite organ. So the male foreskin most resembles the vagina and the clitoris most resembles a penis, thus they should both be removed. Thus being the most superficial explanation as to why circumcision is done. Which brings up an interesting point, if you had a little girl, would your husband ask that she be circumcised as well (the practice is about as common in middle eastern countries)?

My brother whose 4 years older then me was circumcised for medical reason, saying that it would prevent infection. When he got an infection anyway, my parents decided not to do the same to myself.

This is what I wanted to say, but in better English.

I had it done in my 20's for medical reasons. It hurt for about 4-6 weeks. There has been no noticebale difference to my sex life.
However if it was done to me when i was a kid for non medical reasons i would have been pissed off, its assault and shouldn't be allowed

Interesting post, Stinger.

So see? If he want's it to be HIS choice, later when he's older, then no problem. No big deal about waiting. Leave the choice to him. Power to the foreskinned!

I would add i didn't want it done, i didn't have much of a choice, it just wasn't as bad as i thought- although i did have a seizure due to the anasthetic.
Another reason not to have it really, surgery does have its risks.

Here in Portugal hardly ANYONE is circumsized. I've been swimming for years and in the locker rooms no one was circumcized.

As for your children, maybe one day when the US catches the non-circumcized fashion along the western world, they weill be glad they weren't butchered.

There's a reason for that. Its called anti semitism. That's why circumcision is unusual in Europe - historically noone wanted to be mistaken for a Jew.

Hmmm...butcher my son needlessly with a scalpel or leave him as god (or allah or whoever) made him?

Circumscision is mutilation. NO getting around it. Makes as much sense as cutting the poor little guys ear lobes or something off.

Anti-semitism AH? You're reaching there. Some people just prefer not to perform needless surgery. Not Anti-semitism, common sense.

Ouch! Every time there is a discussion about that in Apolyton, I feel shivers in my back. I am disgusted by all alterations of the natural form of our body, including tatoos and body piercings. Circumcision equals extreme anomaly in my book.

Plus it can't be undone. I bet that your son, if he remains untouched, would feel the same shivers if you ever were to tell him you are considering this.

Your train of thought is hopelessly perverted. The first reason that comes to mind when you're asked if you want a circumcision is that you want NOBODY mess with your willy and NOT that you might be mistaken for a Jew (or an Arab). It's common sense dammit!

In the very early stages of Christianity, there were discussions of uniting the two faiths (Old Testament and New Testament). The jews were ready to accept to be converted to christianity under one condition: that all christians would have to be circumcised. Of course the uncircumcised "ethnics" (Greeks, Romans, etc) flatly refused and discussions ended there.

Hmmm, let me see... 2000 years of bloodshed and violence for a few square cm of tissue...

Nooo.. as a man I have to say, don't do it. Let him decide if he wants to do it when he's older and all that. If there's no medical reason, don't do it, I know he will appreciate this and send you lovely christmas cards.

I saw that same episode of Sex and the city, and wondered why she said that about circumcitions.. I have seen only one penis like that in real life and believe me.. I have seen lots of penises! don't ask why though. I guess it's done more in the US.. practically no one does it here, only if it's medical, or if it's about religion.
