There has been much debate about this medical procedure in recent years. Some medical experts are now questioning the need for this procedure. Most baby boys in the U.S. are circumcised. However, fewer circumcisions are being done each year. It's the parents choice. The reason that parents choose to have the procedure done varies. Some have it done for health and hygienic reasons. It's easier to keep clean and lowers the risk of certain diseases, infections and conditions in men. It also lowers the risk of cervical cancer in women who have sex with these men. Others have it done for religious reasons. Some just like the way it looks, or want their son to fit in with the other boys. Ladies, what do you think of this? Do you like a man who has been circumcised or not? If you had a son, would you have him circumcised or not? Men, how do you feel about this? Are you for or against circumcision?

I agree with you. I believe that every baby boy should be circumcised. It just makes sense. The parents are doing the boy a favor by having it done. If I ever have a son, he will be circumcised. There is an argument against it. Some medical experts see it as an unnecessary risk to the child. Some of the risks are pain, bleeding, infection, irritation of the glans (the head), increased risk of meatitis (inflammation of the opening) and injury. However, the risk is low.

In Europe men are not circumcised unless for religious reasons. The feedback I have got from men that are circumcised are that they are a lot less sensitive when having a BJ. I guess the reason for that is that non circumcised men are naturally "covered up" and protected when wearing clothes and circumcised men are "hardened" since childhood from the clothes and therefore less sensitive to the touch.

Not so fast there my friends. The links to health conditions are scientifically, highly questionable at best. Any adverse conditions associated with the foreskin in adults or adolescents are directly attributable to poor hygiene, and thus poor parenting. The Italians, French, Spanish and Swedish all have well documented reviews of infant male circumcision, which are sadly lacking in the US and British journals.


The US is the only country where circumcision is practiced as a default, which is now widely challenged. There are reasons for not performing circumcision, and the European communities are very aware of those. a) The foreskin protects the glans for a reason -- I'll allow you to look those up at your leisure. b) Into maturity the sensitivity of the glans diminishes for the circumcised, reducing male sexual sensation and female stimulation. c) Circumcision is not reversable. d) The infant has no say in the matter. One of the great artistic faux pas is the David is not circumcised. It never occured to Michaelangelo that David was in fact Jewish.


The only intrisic values to circumcision stem from religious or cultural expectations, not substantive medical research. We have in fact pressed all peoples to stop the circumcision of women, and rightly so. This barbaric practice is abhorant. Infant male circumcision also needs to be stopped as routine practice in our medical community, and it should be a parent's choice.


Having said that, I pass along concerns to the parents who choose poorly, based on old urban legends and myths. My stance is that parents need to get the facts about a child's physiology.

As a man who chose to be circumsized in his adult life.... 29. I am very happy with the fact that I did. As the previous post has stated, most of the problems now being questioned as related to an uncircumsized organ really do just stem from poor heygene therefor men who are uncut and practice good habits are not in danger of such problems. For me the question was to increase function as the amount of foreskin on males can contribute to irritation of the glans during sexual function especially when condoms are itroduced. This is a well known fact so widely acknowleged that this is the one reason why insurence covers the operation which would otherwise be thought of as only cosmetic. The organ does become decensitized but still serves its function well with only effect being prolonged use.... and I have yet to hear a woman complain about men experiencing need for longer sexual activity. In the case where too much skin is present, women usually experience less stimulation as friction is greatly reduced, therefore in certain cases stimulation to the woman is greatly enhanced when the organ is circumsized. My procedure was not without sacrifice. It was quite a painful healing process over about two months but overall very worth it at least to me. When I have a child I will definately have him circumsised as I would have appreciated having been when the pain and healing time would have been minimal and without need for deliberation. I had thought about getting circumsized since I was young but it took me 12 years to finally commit and go through with it. I am happy with my choice.

Wow... BGood!!!!


How on earthdid you get this topic. It is really a good one though. Well if you need to know my opinion regarding your topic.... I am difenitely up for circumcision. My son was circumsized a week after he was born. I am pretty sure he will be happy that he was circumsized.


I just remember when we lived in China and hegoes to International school in china. One time when he came home he had ask me that everytime he goes to the bathroom all chinese boys are asking him why his "thing" is different than all of thechines boys "thing".


I laugh at loud..... and I can't explain to my son onthat timesince he was just afirst grader.... All I had said to him is that his circumsized not like the chinese boys are not circumsized.


Funny!!!! So I am difinately UP for the circumcision. It is more healthier and cleaner especially when you do sex to some one.


I work with all doctors and they all recomend that boys should be circumsized.

As a nurse I have been present when a baby was circumcized. To say the least it was barbaric. As one who is circumsized I would love to get my hands on the butcher who did me. If I have sex with a girl who is tight or not lubed up good then I end up with tears right under the head. These tears take several days to heal up and eventually end up becoming scar tissue.

Wow, some really honest answers here.


I have two sons one (22) who was circumcised as a newborn and the other who is now 17 who was not (no need to get into why). Well, came to me and told me this year he wanted to have it done. It was pretty brave of him to come to me about it and fortunately the timing was right that we were able to have it done right when the Christmas holiday started so he didn't have to take time off school. Insurance covered it mostly too. It was good for him to be able to do it while he was covered by my insurance too. Must have been his youth but he also recovered extremely quickly too with very little discomfort. I was more worried than he was!
