That is the question in my home lately. As many of you know, I am going to be a Grandma for the first time, and I am very excited about it. This weekend, we have had a discussion as to whether or not to Circumcise the baby if it's a boy. There are arguments for both sides. Would you, or did you circumcise your baby boy? If so , what was the deciding factor?
To Circumcise or not to Circumcise...

We had no troubles when my son was circumsized, and if this baby is a boy, we would again.
No real reason, either. Just what most people do now days.
I did have a neighboor, whose son was about 6 months older then ours, and she didn't circumsize. She had alot of problems with him having urinary tract infections which the doctor said was likely coming from improper cleaning around the penis. Now, that is just what the doc thought. Could be a problem other then that. If your son/daughter decide to go uncircumsized, just make sure they get shown proper cleaning techniques at the hospital, as they need to fold the skin back more. I tihnk.

Gilly, That was my argument. I know that uncircumcised boys tend to have more UTI's, and there is the issue of hygiene. But, I have been told that men who are not circumcised tend to have more sensitivity during sex. I would be interested in hearing if that is true from someone who was circumcised later in life. Was there a difference?

But fine to do to males......it is based in the jewish religion..
The only time I ever refused to stay and watch a procedure during my clinical rotations, was when we were watching a baby being circumcised. I can take seeing most things, things that would make most people pass out. But when I saw them clip that foreskin, and heard the baby scream, I looked at my instructor and said" Fail me, I'm out of here". They say it doesn't hurt the baby,..... tell that to the baby I saw..

No, I would not. Who am I to decide to remove the foreskin from the penis of another person? IMO, it's a body modification. There is just as much literature out there saying that it is unhealthy as there is saying it is perfectly fine. I'd much rather go with what Nature intended.
If he wants to modify himself in any way later in life that is his decision - not mine to make.
This is the year 2001 and we're pretty damn close to 2002. If we haven't figured out how to clean ourselves properly there's a problem.

I am not circumsized. I would never want to be circumsized nor would I want to circumsize my sons. I have no urinary infections.
By the way, tell me you don't do things because "everyone seems to be doing them nowadays." If that's true, the board has to close; nowhere near everyone is here.

Hi Shy, Grandma is doing great!
Had my daughter and her fiancee over tonight, and we put up the Christmas tree. I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet, but I have a heavy schedule coming up, so I'm doing it when I can. We got into a heavy discussion about this topic all weekend and I was curious as to what others did. I never had a boy, so I never had to make this decision. LOL, I can't seem to keep myself out of the baby department at all the stores. This baby will be spoiled rotten.

I voted yes because that is what I did with all three of my boys. I had no real reason to do it, I guess that is what just seemed "normal" to me. I'm not sure I would do it again though.
My oldest two boys were born in one hospital, while my youngest was born in another. The two hospitals had different policies concerning when the circumcision would be done. With my oldest two it was done immediately after birth. With my youngest it was done 5 days later in my doctors office.
I took my darling baby in to have this done. I had every intention of standing there beside him. I went into the room to wait for the doctor to come in. As I sat there I looked around the room. There was this metal plate with a baby shaped indentation and straps, on a table nearby there were varios clamps and instruments. I couldn't take my eyes off of these things....I began to hyperventilate. The nurse came in and apparently decided that I should not be there. She sent me out of the room to get the diaper bag out of the car. when I got back in I could hear him screaming....not crying....screaming. It just about killed me hearing this. Two nurses grabbed me and got me back into the lobby where they attempted to calm me down....it did not work. I felt so horrible for putting my son through that. I don't care what anyone says....that hurt him and it hurt bad. I would definately think that anyone planning to do this to their child should find out all the facts. If it doesn't help anything, why put your baby through it?

Obviously you don't know me, or you would know I don't follow the crowd.
I am simply interested in what decisions others made and why. This is utlimately up to them, but they did ask me and I always have an opinion. I had a nephew who was not circumcised, and he had multiple UTI's, and he was cleaned properly. But I do tend to agree with Angel, in that it is a type of body modification, and from what I saw at the hospital, very traumatic for the baby. Like Shy and Brat, I was raised where all boys were circumcised, and I think had I had a boy, I would have had it done back then. But not so sure I would now..

I think that you have to go with the medical advice on this, and there is enough to support circumcision. All of us guys cringe at that thought, but hell we get weak kneed at all sorts of medical practices. I'll bet there are more guys who faint over just a needle. I have! If a woman will endure the delivery of a baby, then I'd let her make that choice for the little guy.
If there is great pain in your penis but you were too young to rember did it happen? (they only cut a chunk off my sex organ, oh well, what the hell)
The sheath supposedly helps sensitivity so i could cum in 2.8 seconds instead of a shorter a time....maybe we should hit it with a hammer and then we could slow down the number of pre ejaculation situations...
At one time it was for sanitation/health, purposes don't think thats relavent any more.
Maybe its prettier cut...ya lets cut it...it's got to be pretty..
tomarrow we will do what is right...back to the future you say..
