Q: Inquiring About Circumcisions

1) anyone happy with what they have, or don't have?

2) if you have it done, do you wish you didn't?

3) if you didn't have it done, do you wish you had?

4) for those who had infection because of not being circumcised, did you have to have it removed later in life?

Thanks for your time :)

1. I'm totally happy being circumsized.
2. No, i'm so glad that the doctors cut me.
3. N/a
4. N/a

i was circumsized when I was a baby, which is when most males do have it (save for the jewish boys who recieve it later in life). It's not a hassle to clean (other then just washing with soap) and I don't have any pain, ever. I am not capable of getting the same kind of infections that men with their penis uncircumsized do.

If I ever have children and have boys, they will be circumsized. No question about it.

Hell even my g/f thinks uncircumsized penis's are uglier than circumsized penis's! That is telling you something!! Heh.

Thank you!

It's just a little debate on the teen forum. Both my boys are circumcised as well as my husband!

My opinion on this is just as you put it.. Thank you again :)


anyone else?

Personally I feel that infant circumcision is wrong. I feel that a child should have the right to an intact body, and that they should be able to decide to be circumcised when they are old enough to do so. (unless its a religious requirement)

i think that the process of infant circumcision if much more cruel than adult circumcision.

To answer you questions:

i am happy with the way my penis looks, however I wish I had foreskin because I find the constant rubbing of my glands to my underwear very painful at times.

If I was not cut as a child, I would never decide to be. Keeping it clean is not that hard.



New studies show that circumcision does not prevent penile cancer, cirvical cancer or a greater risk of std's like doctors once thought. Also, keeping the foreskin clean will prevent uti's.

circumcision
like it or not being circumcised is a dying fad. the american pediatric association no longer rcommend it, it is hardly never covered by insurance companies, and for the responder who said it would never hurt, why is the baby screaming during the procedure??? as i said earlier in another forum, to follow the same line of reasoning, does this mean that all babies shuld have their tonsils yanked out at birth in order to prevent tonsilitis in later life.
p.s.
for the bibical responder, at one time this practice was outlawed by the christian church because it was a sign of judeaism and it was not done in later childhood among jews, the law states 7 days after birth which is why catholics honor Jan. 1 as a holy day it being "the circumcision" of christ. it is the muslims who have it done around 10 or 11 years old---i see muslims guys ion my job and believe me they are not unconsciuous when it happens and no they are not given a sedative!

foreskin
i had it done at 23 years and regret it to this day. sex was much more enjoyable. let your kids make these decisions when they grow up. nowadays thiis procedure is not recommended by doctors and most insurance companies do not cover it.

2nd day of adult circumcision
This the the second time i have had to be operated on. The first dr. messed up bad with horrable results. This time was not much better with them not taking enough skin and producing a half circ. I really don't understand why they mess up so much. As for why. Diebeties produce excess sugar in the urine and cause yeast infections the scaring causes phimoses. But getting an adult circumcision is a very bad choice. I have had nothing but bad experiences , disfigurement to the point of impotence, and having to do it all over again. DO NOT get circumcised unless it is ablolute necessary and then pray for a surgeon that want just "wack the skin off".
