Circumcision

i don’t have a son but i would only do it for medical purposes and ultimately leave it up to my husband. 😊

I agree with @Star I'm from Europe and there it's not usually even up for discussion. So no.

My way of thinking is that if they were born like that I don’t think it’s necessary. Just have to teach them proper hygiene

My boys all are. I left it up to my husband who wanted it done.

Agreed. It has a function, to protect.

It's an unnecessary risk. It's also mutilation and trauma for no reason. If they want it later for some reason that is their choice. There are alot of complications and even deaths from circumcision.

The way they feel everything because they’re too small for anesthesia 😣😣 idk I would feel so bad putting him thru that

Yeah I personally think it's barbaric. Just another messed up thing that's wrong in the US, sorry for criticizing y'all's country 😆

My boy is perfect the way he's born 🥺 I did change a circumcised baby for the first time yesterday and I'm ashamed to say I immediately took friendship points off his mom 😭😭😭

@Susie trust we know we suck 😅

@Star everyone does

Here is the only place I can critique the US, my in laws and husband are EXTREMELY patriotic to the point of "immigrants should get out if they wanna complain". And I'm...a recent immigrant 😩

Pregnant with our first boy and we won’t be circumcising him🤍 I had to convince my husband by showing him some research because he felt he had more say simply because he has a penis I guess😂 but I feel like it’s too big of a decision not to inform and advocate on and he quickly came around after seeing the evidence and hearing me out

I didn't do it because Florida Medicaid considers it cosmetic and I didn't feel the need to do that to them

my so and i both had opposite thoughts on it. i didn’t want to, he did. his reasonings seemed too superficial for me to fold so i j made a game day decision not to and he didn’t oppose it. we agree now he’s perfect the way he was made and it would only be necessary for medical reasons if they pop up in the future.

@Katrina that’s why we show them proper hygiene just the same as women should know proper hygiene or else we get infections. And that’s different because that is where it becomes a necessity compared to doing it when they’re born. I’m not arguing or judging you because at the end you’re doing what is best for your baby and ofc take proper care of it to let it heal properly. I just personally think it’s not necessary unless it’s an medical emergency

From Australia here. I decided not to circumcise both of my boys unless it was medically indicated (which it wasn’t). The reasons being: - Circumcisions destroy between 10-20 thousand nerve endings. - Circumcised penises are not “cleaner” or “less prone” to infection. My husband is a proud foreskin owner of 29 years and has never had hygiene issues or infection. - Whether circumcised or not, all penises are ugly so there’s no cosmetic reason. At the end of the day, my child is not old enough to understand the risks and benefits of having either a circumcised or uncircumcised penis and cannot make an informed choice. If he wants to circumcise his penis when he is older, I will absolutely support that decision. If it were a little girl in question, cutting off part of her genitals wouldn’t even be a consideration because of how absurd it is. That being said, I understand there are circumstances where a circumcision is medically necessary.

All penises are ugly 😂😂😂😂 ahahahaha

I've also heard from men I've had sex with that sex hurts because too much of the foreskin was cut off. Or on the other hand not being able to ejaculate during sex because of a lack of sensation. Never had an issue with uncircumcised men (which is most of what I had) or a dirty one, they all knew how to wash 🤷‍♀️

I have enjoyed all these comments! YOU GO LADIES! ❤️ I love the quality of education, & the advocacy you guys took for your sons even if your SO was opposed. Just because we don’t have a penis doesn’t mean we can’t fend for our boys that do!
