Answer 3

I completely agree

If people could take a step back and really look at what it is they would never choose it for their baby

Answer 4

The link didn't work, but as far as circumcision goes I would definetly do it.

I'd save him the embarassment in the locker room.

I think he'd really appreciate it.  :]

Edit: Oh god, no. I'd rather not watch it.

I know it sounds painful. h**l, it probably is painful.  But the baby is so young that he won't remember that pain in the future.

Edit: How were you not okay with it? You had no idea what was going on! You were just a baby.

Edit: Well you have your opinion and I have mine.

You seem very against circumcision, and I'm not going to try to change your mind. I was just stating my opinion.

Edit: It doesn't matter if animals have problems or not. It's the parent's choice.

Jane, this post is for you... circumcision rates have dropped quite abit from what they once were, to nearly 50%.  Seeing intact is fairly common now.  Besides, everyone will have a different opinion of what is cosmetically better... he has to live with his body, not you.  If he wants it changed, he can do it.

So, it is ok to inflict pain if it isn't remembered?  Isn't the experience of pain the worst part?  The only time remembering the pain sucks is when it causes psychological damage... ie from not having a choice about what is done with your body and having to live with the permanent decision.

So, he didn't remember the pain and that means he cannot be psychologically damaged by it?  What about seeing the scar as a reminder of what was done?  Seeing it every day, a constant reminder of what was done.  Wondering what it would have been like during s*x, masturbation, and just plain daily life if you had been left intact.  I think you need to take a step back and think about how you would feel about a permanent cosmetic procedure that changed how your genitals function.

Galileo, they can only use minimal pain prevention, any of the "good stuff" would be dangerous to infants.

Jane, too bad the baby boy isn't entitled to his opinion... well I guess he is, but not after being forced to be the way you prefer.

Answer 6

Where I come from you have to do it.It doesn't matter whether you like it ir not.

Answer 7

No, I think it's a cruel and disgusting welcome into the world. I can't believe people still do it - and all for stupid reasons.

I also find it appalling that there are is a women posting here who wants to do it for her own shallow reasons, completely ignoring the fact that circumcised guys here including yourself are upset about it! Maybe some guys are happy, but why take the risk? Who would know more, you or her? It's horrible.

Answer 8

I agree with you, i would never do it to my child against his will. btw the link doesnt work..

edit: HOLY **** this video just confirms my first statement!!.

Answer 9

Noone should ever have their genitals mutilated against their will, especially a helpless infant.

That is infant sexual abuse, assault and a violation of the basic human right to a whole and intact body.

Do parents have a moral right to cut off a part of their child's body simply because they don't like it?      Just because this archaic and barbaric practice became widespread in the past doesn't make it right.

Circumcision of female minors is illegal in the US.     It is genital mutilation, just as male circumcision is.     Where is equal protection under the law for males?    Isn't this sexist in the extreme?    Isn't this unconstitutional?

I'm restoring my f******n, and the sensitivity and orgasmic intensity have increased to a point that I never dreamed possible.    In my case, the mutilation caused more than the average nerve damage and loss of sensitivity.    I couldn't achieve o****m in normal s*x.

f******n restoration is a long and difficult process, and never restores 100% of the amputated and damaged nerve endings, but it will greatly enhance sensitivity.      It also gives a more natural and normal appearance.

Much of the American public has been brainwashed into thinking that there's something inherently wrong with a normal and natural part of the male body.    The medical profession has done much to foster these lies and old wive's tales, as they make money from it, and are frequently members of the religions that try to impose this mutilation on others.

At least in Europe, South America and Asia--most of the rest of the world in fact, they never fell victims to the greatest hoax against the male s*x---circumcision.

A f******n is not a birth defect; it is a birthright.

Answer 10

Jane, you are retarded. Embarrassment in the locker room? Idiots like you are the reason why the human race is disintegrating.

I am not circumcized, I have an elephant-sized c**k, and believe me, my hand doesn't care if I am circumcized or not, and neither do my locker partners or the girls I do it with.

Is it hard for people to understand that there is nothing wrong with being intact?

Answer 11

i would absolutely NEVER do that to my son.

Answer 12

dude, i totally wish i wasn't circumcised. my parents made the choice for me and i don't appreciate that.

it sucks that i cant ever have that back, and i will have to be this way for the rest of my life.

Answer 13

So, even if circumcision were beneficial is there some reason why they can't use a local anesthetic before they do it?  One quick injection and the kid would hardly know what happened.
