Circumcision

[Mrs. Disney 0]

Agreed, I wouldn't let anyone but a doctor circumcise my kid.

How about this guy?

I meant it - I think it is barbaric.

You musta been all foreskin as a child.

Bravo Marc. Presumably when the doctors tried to cut yours away they couldn't tell which way was up.

Might be common in the US but not everywhere else.

The NHS no longer covers those procedures unless they are for religious reason in Aus.

Who cares?

It never occurred to me to even consider having my kid circumsised and I am certainly not going to inflict that upon him now. If this is such a social taboo in the US though, to be uncircumsised, I might have to tell him to go live in the UK - unless he can find someone like Amby who bucks the social trends

It sure isn't an issue around here, least not as much as having your dogs hind "thumbs" clipped off or his tail. Ear piercing is more of an issue plus stabbing your face with all that hardware.

My understanding is that circumcision is done medically for cleanliness, a good dark warm place for mold to grow, and if the thing turns green, can fall off. In my case, was highly recommended it was done, but still my decision, and was fully covered by my health plan. Now if the doctor said, maybe, and would cost me $10,000.00 more, probably would have said, let it turn green and fall off, had enough bills with all those kids.

Seriously. I love my #######, even if no one else does!

Do you sit on your hands till their numb and then fantisize about it being a stranger?

You'd probably like to give it a stroke or two.

It's an interesting social comment spooky. In my travels I have only ever come across circumcision as a religious rite outside of the US. Here in the US it seems to be more of a cultural phenomena which I personally find peculiar. Why is it such a big thing here? What gives?

Girls here don't like uncircumcised penises.

[Peikko 1,575]

Well, clearly some do (look up).

Good point Rogue. Don't want to be an eunuch.

ummmm...if you have mold growing on your #######, I think you have bigger problems than needing to be circumcised

Spooky they don't turn me off. I don't even understand why women care either way.
