Would you circumcise your son(s)?

[Ezra_Pound]

I went on a French website and they seem more "for" it than I would have imagined. Must be the Islamic "influence", which of course isn't France-specific.

Please answer truthfully, give your reasons, and REMEMBER TO NOTE YOUR LOCATION, as it will be interesting to see how this varies with geography.

Thanks.

Is it too much effort to sign a name? I hate it when all we get is "Guest" posting over and over again. It's probably the same person.

Oh, and leave your gender, please.

it is more healthy (recent study shows a 50% reduction in STD transmission)

Nonsense. Show it to me. If it is true, enlighten me as to how the U.S., the most circumcised nation in the entire developed world, has the highest rates of STDs and HIV? Please try to be sensible.

Let's keep the nonsense out of the thread.

it looks better/sexier and girls will like it more

It saddens me to admit it, but this seems true. Proof that people are morons. It seems the majority of women DO think circumcised penises are "better", though not one has ever given a legitimate reason. A tyranny of the majority. Should one to be circumcised to appease the ignorant majority? A thinker indeed...

wont have the trouble it causes in old age

What trouble?

im from America

Colour me surprised.

as a muslim i should have my sons circumsised, but i dont think i will, as personsly i have been with circumsised guys n non-curcumsised and i have prefered guys with forskins as sex has been much better and alot more interesting. And im sure my sons will thank me when they are older and if they want to get circumsised then they can always do that too.

[Ezra_Pound]

Yes, I think that would be wise. I, personally, am not of the belief that parents are perfectly entitled to do as they please to the genitals of their children in order to appease their imaginary friend.

I'm curious as to why you prefer sex with intact males. Few women say this. Why do you think it more "interesting"? Spare no details.

Oh, and don't forget to note your location.

Thanks.

"You are entitled to kill the kid before he's born, but you can't cut off his foreskin. No way."

Curious logic.

[Ezra_Pound]

First off, SIGN UNDER A NAME. Or is that too strenuous an activity for you to do with just the one free hand? Sap-headed buffoon.

Who are you talking to? I don't believe I've made my abortion-related opinions, either pro- or contra-, public knowledge on these boards. Go talk about that elsewhere, you idiot.

And, technically, you can't "kill" something that hasn't been born.

[elliegirl]

im british. ive posted on the other thread in the sex issues board. my partner was circumcised due to a tight foreskin which was uncomfortable for him during sex. i dont see this a reason to have any future son of ours circumcised though. ill explain why his daddys penis looks different from his, and will let him make his own decision if he wants to be circumcised or not when hes old enough to understand.

[Ezra_Pound]

Did you feel a difference in sex? Some women I know say the way the foreskin rolls, and has a kind of "lubricating" effect, is really good for them. Did you notice that?

[Ezra_Pound]

Bump.

[Guest27]

I'm not going to comment because I know what any deviance from your personal opinion leads to and I'd rather not get into that again.

All I want to say is why not be civil? You catch more flies with honey, not vinegar, so what are you achieving? Belligerent diatribes, semantic battles, and hostility is all your threads ever are; ostensibly, they seem only to be your method for condemning a practice. For which you shouldn't post such a misleading subject line. Rather than ask a question where people can assume they can answer honestly, put a statement that lets other people know your position. Moreover, you should state your conviction on the matter since obviously it's going to eventually make itself known once they post something you don't condone.

I can understand where you're coming from and admire your passion for fighting what you believe in, but your approach is just wrong. Not only that, it's counterproductive. You're trying to change minds, right? Well what's going to work best: amiable discussion or terrorism?

haha

you sound desperate to sound right.

and no, i dont post a username or care about spelling or give a chunky nugget what you think.

girls will always like seeing a face on their cocks, its simple stats. i don't go by the rubbish i find here, i find my stats the only place you can trust and thats from ppl. every girl i ever talked to about it says skin there is like suckin down a worm or shoving a small elephants in her snatch. most are cool about it but still bothered by it. circed is better. medically i don't give a crap unless yur my doc.

the way you bash other practices is xenophobic and closeminded. I hope you choke on the fumes from having your head shoved so far up your anus you die facing up aphyxiated on your own vomit

oh, and "bump"

[Guest]

oops, meant elephants trunk.

good thing i caught that before you went on a rant about how im too dumb to have an opinion. XD

[John3543543]

No, because it decreases sensitivity meaning it takes more to orgasm. I would want my son to have a healthy sex life therefore would want him to keep his foreskin as he would enjoy sex more.

Also, in some schools, if its found out that you've been circumcised then you get bullied, called a Jew etc

[JennyT]

I'd never have my sons circumcised. If they want to get it done later in life (when they're old enough to understand and want to have it done, rather than be pressured into it), so be it, but I see no reason to mutilate them without their consent. Religion & tradition are no reasons to lop off sensitive parts of a childs anatomy! In fact, I don't think there have been any respectable studies done that claim benefits to circumcison. The new study is somewhat debatable by the sounds of it.

I always feel sorry for cirumcised guys. Their penises always look so... sad.
