are you circumsized

[Jennifer1]

I was just talking with a guy from here on MSN, and he told me something that i found hard to believe i was hoping that you americans here could confirm if you think its true or not

The conversation came to circumsision.

Matt says:
well the time I was born there was a thing in the US where they thought it was a health risk if you weren't

Matt says:
almost everyone in the USA gets circumsized

Matt says:
well In the USA if your not circumsized then most women don't like you

Matt says:
almost everyone is as far as I know

Tell me is this true? DO you really mutilate your little baby boys like that, makes me cringe and i dont even have a penis to have it mutilated.

[Petrus]

Jennifer, unfortunately it would seem in the US that the majority of boys are circumcised soon after birth. In the UK we are more civilised and it is a minority that are mutilated and I believe getting less all the time. I agree with you that it is truly a barbaric practice. I was lucky and my mother told me that she was not going to have her baby operated on for no reason!

[JayFromFLA]

If you're asking if more people are, than not, then yes. I think about 80% of American men are circumsized.

Someone correct me, if I am wrong.

[DoctorSurferDude]

That sounds about right Jay.....

I guess that's the END of this topic. Yay

[nudist C]

No I'm am not circumsized my parent did not belive in it and my boys are not.My wife like me the way I'm.

*sigh* Wishful thinking, Doc, wishful thinking...

[Jennifer1]

oh thats sick, seriously, chopping off such a sensitive part of the body, causing the baby so much pain.

[clothesareuseless]

What they said is basically true, though the percentage has declined considerably since the late 60's when I was born and was left intact because I was very premature.

While in High school, (O levels), out of 200 boys in my class, 3 of us weren't circumcised.

Women in the US are very ignorant of the differences and consider being uncut grounds to end a relationship. Or they want you to get circumcised before they will consummate the relationship.

People, please! It is just circumcision; it's not brain transplants. A lot of babies are cut. I was, and i like it better. From what I have read and heard, many men with forskin say it aches to pull it back to wash your penis and an infection can occur if it isn't cleaned properly. But i digress. It is the parent's choice; no one makes them do it. But Jewish people have been doing it for YEARS and they are still cool with it. So it can't be entirely that bad if an entire race of people have done it since the days of Moses. Be easy.

Maybe we should do a poll, or is it necessary It is only circumsion, and if you are, then good for you, if your not, so its a little more work, in either case I do believe it still works the same, right?

Here we go again!!!!

FireProf has left the building!!! Well at least this topic!

Here in Canada they stopped circumsizing in the late 70s early 80s. Now they only do it for religion or medical needs.

[Mosquito_Bait]

I vaguely recall that only one boy in my junior high school gym class was not circumcised. I remember a friend pointing at him in the locker room and explaining, "He was born in Spain."

[sw1sweendog]

jennifer,as a woman, how do you know that the foreskin is the most sensitive part of the body.my guess is that only a man,who had one growing up,and got it cut later in life could explain that one.as far as im concerned the balls hurt the most when hit

Wow, it's a parent's choice? Are children property for parents to do whatever the want with them? Why can't it be the child's choice? That's like piercing a babies ears. If the infant had the choice, do you think it would choose the pain just so Mom & Dad would think it was prettier or look more like a girl? I think if you want to have your son circumsized, then you should be the one to hold him down and you should have to watch. Circumcision is as barbaric as female circumcision.
