Why would parents chose to not circumsize their baby boys?!
Question: I think its cruel. They will get made fun of in school. A women really doesn't know what to do with all that extra skin, anyway

When my son was born, my doctor bullied me into leaving him uncircumcized. He said it was a cruel practice and he really made me feel badly about it. Stupidly I agreed even though my husband is also uncircumcized and he says that it frequently burns and tears during sex, and he is prone to infections.
When it came time for my son to learn to clean himself, my husband did not step in to help. I found it was very uncomfortable for me, because you have to teach your child to pull back the foreskin and clean underneath.
When my son was five I took him to a urologist for a bedwetting problem and he recommended circumcision. He said that my son would be very thankful later in life, although he would never tell me so. So we had it done at age five, and it was a horrible experience. I do think the urologist was right though.
If I had it to do all over again, I would have gotten a different doctor to do it right after the birth. Girls make fun of guys who are uncircumcized, and sometimes boys have to take communal showers when they are older (if they play hockey, for instance) and this must be difficult for boys who are not comfortable about being uncircumcized.
I also do not believe that male circumcision compares to female circumcision, which is mutilation of the genitalia to prevent sensation during sex. I think most circumcized men still get a lot of pleasure from sex!
I have three sons, none of them were circumcized....
My fiance is also uncircumsized, and it doesn't bother me one bit ; )
You don't mind the ripping off part of your child's penis and preventing him from having full feeling in it?
Good lord I hope you never have a male child.
You do know that removing that part of the penis actually does take away certain sensitivity and pleasure from him as an adult?
i think some religions don't allow it
I agree. It helps with sanitation as well.
Oh look, here come the thumb downs just for stating my opinion.
well why would you want to put them through the pain if it makes no difference
well what mother would get their little boy circumcised in the first place??? That is cruel and unusual punishment and it give the women in their lives more to play with anyway....
why would they be showing it at school anyway????
can't afford the procedure.
LMAO!!!!!
I argued with a woman once that told me it was torture and cruel. You ask ANY man if he remembers his circumcision... he'll tell you no. She was an idiot
pain
I think in some cultures/religions it's prohibited.
BTW, why would he get made fun of in school?! It's covered.
Some think it is painful to remove the end of their sons penis.
I can understand where they would get that idea.
HOwever, since the mother carried the child for 9 months I think that should be the parents decision.
I find it doubtful that anyone except their wife would ever see it.
Decide for yourself what is more cruel:

Watch the video midway down.
Not in pain, huh?
Here, a detailed description of what the baby endures:

I chose not to because my son's body is not mine to do with as I please..and certainly not for aesthetic reasons!
Outside the US, circumcision is not the "norm"..
most times the child isn't circumcised it part of tradition & the other maybe lack of funding. How is this kid going to be laughed @ @ school ? It's not like the guys have a secret I'll show u mine if you show me yours. Yes I'm aware of showering after gym but done respectively the guy has nothing to be ashamed of !! My husband wasn't circum.. so whats all this extra skin you talk about anyway I think you need to get all your facts straight before you start complaining about something you obviously know nothing about.
I had my son circumcised right after he was born (for reasons of cleanliness). Males who are circumcised have a lower risk (next to none) of contracting infections. The extra skin collects germs and makes it harder to clean. Thus, developing an infection.
Believe me, I cried my eyes out while waiting for the nurse to return him to my room, but I know it was for the best.
It was a hard decision I'm glad I went through with.
I am not circumcised and I can assure you that no one ever made fun of my penis not being mutilated. I have two son who are all grown up now and I can assure you that no one ever made fun of their non mutilated penis. Find a video of a baby boy being circumcised on the Internet and then tell me that you would have your son go threw that. it is absolutely horrid to watch a baby being mutilated like that. When we uncircumcised males have an erection there is no extra skin at all.
My ex-husband refused to let our son be circumcised, because he is not circumcised himself. In that case, it's a guy thing. However, some people don't circumcise their sons because of their religion. Sometimes it's just a personal choice.
As for being made fun of in school-- it's obvious when someone isn't circumcised, but not THAT obvious unless you are really staring hard-- then that's getting a little too personal, in my opinion. And I'm not really sure that guys care whether their friends are circumcised or not.
And you said women don't know what to do with the extra skin. lol An uncircumcised penis and a circumcised penis both work the same, so it really shouldn't be a concern.
I've answered a question on this subject before a while back. I don't remember exactly what I said but a few things I do know are:
My father and brother are circumsized, my son is circumsized, the few men I've had sex with are circumsized, any future man I have sex with will be circumsized. It's cleaner and waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more attractive than an uncircumsized one. I'm sure it hurts but it's temporary just like pretty much all pain we experience in life by choice or not. Babies experience trauma and pain during the birthing process.
