We’re your boys ever made fun of in preschool (or in later years) by any circumcised boys for having a foreskin? My husband isn’t cut, he says preschool he was made fun of at least two times, and that there was a kind of embarrassing moment in middle school when the boys in his class were changing for gym and his penis slipped out of the hole in his underwear so the other boys could see it, he tried to retract it quickly, but they had already seen his foreskin. I assured him that there were probably at least a few others in that group of boys who had foreskins, and that they were probably just laughing at the unfortunate slip up. He seems okay with his foreskin now, but he is kind of leaning toward circumcising our son who is due in a few months; he just doesn’t want him to be in that situation. I’m totally against it though and think he’s being a little too paranoid, and I know there’s a lot more little boys with foreskins than there were back then. I’ve heard the snip rate in the Midwest is still pretty high though, especially in Michigan where we live.

My infant had no idea what happened (my husband was in there with him). My father and uncles most definitely DID know what happened. You will never make me feel guilty about circumcising my so, just as I will never try to make you feel guilty about not circumcising. I am interested in those 16 documented functions though.

The foreskin has at Least 16 documented functions that are LOST due to infant circumcision.. Yes it IS a matter of Personal Opinion.. the opinion of the one ATTACHED to the penis.... NO ONE else.. ever.. It is NEVER a "parent's choice" to amputate a Healthy, Functional part of their child's body ..Ever.. end of story. "Hygiene" has Nothing to do with it.. it is a basic Human RIGHT to NOT have a healthy body part Removed based on "religion" or "parental preference"!..both female AND male. <br />Reggie.. I'm sorry you were most likely cut as an infant.. .please DO NOT allow that Mutilation to happen to other little boys by pretending it is a "parental choice"..

However I am in favor it, we know boys, especially tween/teen boys are not the most hygienic. Being circumcised can actually prohibit some nasty bacterial infections due to inefficient or non-existent washing. In the end its the parents choice. Religion based or hygeine based, don't let anyone tell you which way to sway.
