Father Tries Circumcision On 8-Year-Old Son

[DurocShark]

My son isn't circumcised. I am. I figured that foreskins were evolved for a reason so why make a little baby suffer?

Ding ding ding, we have a winner!

EVERY girl I've talked to about the subject, save for one, has said that when they've seen a guy with a uncut penis they've been scared off.

in our culture, circumcision is more of a 'coming of age' thing than it is a religious thing.

boys are circumsized on the average age of 10-12 years old (sometimes a bit older) on their own request. no pressure from parents or anything like that, although of course there are obvious peer pressure by friends (you know how boys are) who are already going through the 'maturing process' (or so we've told).

when i look back, it's actually kind of fun. you know, we actually believed that circumcision is necessary in our growing up process. of course we were afraid, plus the pain after a few days after (these days with technology it's probably only one day) is not exactly something that you want to memorize. but the feeling of pride when you come to school (we usually do it on school break, to have it completely healed before going back to school) and realize that you are now a 'man' (or so we thought) was just priceless. 🙂

i know most people on this forum are against circumcision, and i'm not trying to convince you to believe otherwise. just trying to share a story from the other side of the world.

just wondering, what culture are you? I thought most cultures did a cirumcision during infancy.

i am from indonesia. in my post i said 'in our culture' instead of 'in my country' because we have hundreds of different cultures and some twenty or so religious beliefs.

anyway, i have never even heard of circumcision during infancy until i got here in the US in 1999. all i know is how circumcision being the process that marks a boy's way into adulthood, and nobody can know better than the boy himself when exactly he's ready and willing to go through the process.

I don't think we have a winner. This girl isn't scared of penises, cut or not. I've had partners cut and uncut. The difference visually when the penis is erect is very subtle. I would have to say that since the % of circumcised men is dropping, the whole argument about teasing in the locker room will become moot. Anyone who wants to tease someone else will always find something to use to make fun of someone else. If it's not his foreskin, it'll be the size of his dick, or how many or few pubes. All stupid male posturing. As more women experience uncut penises, fewer will be shocked by them. And the few who are are the ones with the problems, not the guys.

And to address the whole absurd "why does my penis look different from yours, Daddy?" notion, you've got to ask yourself if a child's penis resembles an adult male's penis. No, it does not. If you're afraid of questions, then you're in for a shock when your kid notices that your dick is about fifty times bigger and is surrounded by hair.

As you can imagine, my son's penis was not surgically damaged. I don't get why someone would want to cause harm to the sex organ of a baby. His future sexuality is not something you should involve yourself with in that way.

That was pretty much my conclusion as well. No medical benefit to removing it so why subject my baby to that trauma for no good reason. If he decides later in life that he wants it removed then fine.

I am circumcised BTW.

Hey thanks for answering, and I'm glad you had a choice in the matter. this may be too personal but maybe you can answer the sensitivity argument. Did you notice any change pre/post cc?

:roll: All of those body parts provide a certain beneficial function, whereas the foreskin does not (you COULD say eroticism and sensitivity, but I can vouch from experience that my penis is extremely sensitive and functions very well in that department, and again, most girls I've talked to... 😉) So in short... you fail at having a point.

I'm happy with my streamlined penis, and you're happy with your penis+skinflap. So we're all happy. There, end of argument. 🙂

I have no trouble seeing his point. You're not aware of the beneficial function of having the foreskin because it was taken from you before you had a chance to know the difference.

A man who had his little finger cut off in an accident as an infant has grown his entire life without it and has learned to function without it. He doesn't miss it becuase he doesn't remember ever having it, but that doesn't mean he hasn't lost some functionality to his hand.

And he doesn't know what it's like to NOT have a foreskin because he's always had it, and yet he dismisses the idea completely, what's your point? I am not dismissing anything.

The man has lost no functionality to his hand, because that functionality never existed for him in the first place. You are simply using a juxtapose with the mechanics of human anatomy.

And hey, I said ARGUMENT OVER! I like crew-neck you like turtle-neck. Just as long as we have shirts, we're okay, you know? :beer:

First of all, since the medical benefits have been disproven now, can you agree that there are no medical benefits?

Secondly, i think i can give you a better analogy, the appendix, you don't need that but only a moron would suggest that it is wise to remove it if not neccessary.

ANY surgery poses a significant health risk and if it is not needed (and thus not beneficial) then it is stupid to do it.

Let it go on record that I am not arguing with you, simply showing you why you make no sense.

1. Nothing has been 'disproven'. I can throw a barrage of links and documents back at you that disprove what you disprove and so on and so forth and vice versa. Once again, medical standpoint is extremely swayed by dates.

2. To remove the appendix would require internal mass vestigial surgery. Far more of a difficulty than a small amount of superficial tissue.

"ANY surgery poses a significant health risk and if it is not needed (and thus not beneficial) then it is stupid to do it. " is entirely uneducated opinion and holds no ground.... in an argument.... FVCK! See what you made me do?

</argue>

After one of my instructors informed me off a condition called phimosis, which he developed at 7yrs old, and the several weeks of pain involved with recovering from surgery - I'll opt to have my son circumcised.

Unless your culture or religion is against it I fail to see the logic in NOT circumcising. I've witnessed this procedure 2 times &amp; both times the baby was calmed within minutes. No trauma, no infection, no brainer.

And for the record I don't care if you penis is cut or not.

Those who commit crimes based on a religious principle should have FUNDIE tattooed on their foreheads and released.
