POll: Did you circumcise your son, if he was born in the past 5 years?

[FireChicken]

Just wanted to see what ATOTers current views on circumcision are.

EDIT: or would you circumcise him if you had a boy.

 

[bignateyk]

I don't have a son, and I wasn't born in the last 5 years, so I can't answer your poll.

I feel left out.

 

[Abe Froman]

I was about to say, someone circumcised your poll

 

[Abe Froman]

I would circumcise him, and will when I have him.

Havent yet, but would if I had a boy.

 

[nakedfrog]

This will end well.

 

[lokiju]

Yes.

Son was born on 6/21 and he was snipped on 6/22.

 

[AstroManLuca]

If I were to have a son, I would not.

 

[GodlessAstronomer]

I see mutilation of innocent babies is still alive and well.

 

[SlitheryDee]

I'd have to do some research into it. If the chance of complications is low without circumcision these days I would leave him intact. I think it was originally people's bad personal cleanliness and the resulting infections that caused circumcision to become mainstream in the first place, right? If it's not necessary in an age of daily bathing then why do it?

I've lived through both ways. I way prefer circumcised.

I had a son on 12/30 and saw absolutely no need to circumcise my son. What reason would there be to put him through that kind of pain? If he wants it done later, I will let it be his choice.

Mutilation or maiming is an act or physical injury that degrades the appearance or function of any living body, usually without causing death.

Well, it's an upgrade to the appearance, and does not significantly degrade function, so I don't think it qualifies as mutilation.

That's great, I have no problem with circumcision. I have a problem with mutilating innocent children without giving them a choice.

Me too. I was uncircumcised until my mid teens. I prefer it circumcised. I like the way it looks and I always felt squeamish pulling the foreskin up to clean.

Upgrade in appearance is a matter of opinion. Effect on function is up for debate. Many claim that it does harm by reducing sensitivity.

I don't really see any reason to perform it, but Godless's original post is blatant trolling.

Says who?

 

[JohnMarshall12]

Why would you not circumcise in this day and age? If you do not, you are just begging for your child to feel self conscious about it during his teenage years. Why not save him the hassle?

How am I trolling? I'm not allowed to express my opinion?
