Mrs. and I will be having a baby in December… our first.
We don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl (Dr. knows but we don’t want to know) but if it is a boy…

Should we or should we not circumcise the baby?

Yes, many studies indicate it's much healthier to circumcise.

Nowadays there is not any benefit to having him cut, so long as he is taught proper hygiene all will be good, hell I hve managed the better part of 3 Decades without any problems whatsoever

Because there is a fanatical fringe group that  are rabid anti-circ.  All it takes is one posting and the thread goes to heck in a hand basket real fast.

IMO, circ.

I knew this old dude that  was diagnosed with penile cancer.  They whacked it off at the base.

So, cut now or later.

cut that bad boy off!

If for some reason he needs it cut off later, it will be much more painful and longer recovery.  I remember a guy in my platoon who had his cut off.   It sucked just watching him recover from that.

The reason circumcision became popular in the late 1800s is because Doctors thought that masturbation was very unhealthy, caused insanity, disease, etc.

There is no good reason to circumcise.  It's just a form of genital multilation and all this talk about it being cleaner is pure BS.

Interesting how people are outraged that girls are circumcised in africa but they take their own infant boy and get him chopped.

I was amazed when I found out about it.

Look it up if you don't believe me.

Yep.  The cosmetic reason is the only legitimate one, IMO.  There is no clear study that demonstrates health benefits.  And I'm sure God couldn't care less, regardless of which God you worship.

But then again, it's not like European guys get any less action compared to American guys.

First off, you and your wife need to make up your mind for yourselves. Just make sure you are the deciding factor here, not a bunch of people on an internet message board.

Read as much as you can about the subject and then make an informed decision. There are pros and cons to each solution.

Ya, but have you seen those hairy French chicks? And those goofy looking French dudes? The pickins are slim. A tall brawny cirumsized American would see alot more action overseas.

Genital mutilation? Who cares?

I see your one website and raise you an article from the New England Journal of Medicine using over 300+ medical studies references...

Medical Problems

Make sure and check out the PENIS CANCER pics, and here's something interesting...


In a recent large study published in the New England Journal of Medicine HPV was detected in 19.6% of 847 uncircumcised men, but only 5.5% of 292 circumcised men (overall odds ratio after adjusting for potential confounding factors = 0.37) [48].

As a female...I'm gonna agree on this...hopefully with no repercussions...I have 2 sons, and when the doc asked me if I wanted them cut or not I did not hesitate to say "do it."

I did not want their first experience with a woman to be one where they were made to feel ashamed (not that there is ANYTHING wrong with an uncut penis)...it's just that if the girl has never seen one before, she may get weirded out and make him feel badly. And we all know how important those things are to you men and how sensitive you are about them!

Right so god intended us to have wisdom teeth and tonsils but how many people keep those? That argument is BUNK and a load of crap. I had to have my tonsils removed at the age of 22 because of complications and it sucked. I can only imagine what getting a circumcision would be like at that age if something happened. I like to think there is a comparison to be made here. I'd say go with circumcision better to have it gone now than have to go through with it later in life. Not to mention many women will not go down on or even sometimes sleep with a guy that is uncircumcized. Women have posted on this board about their sons having trouble with "retraction." Sorry, I just think you're a lot better off in the longrun having it cut.

Studies have shown that women prefer circumcized units.

It's actually painful to the baby (but, I don't remember it...), but think how painful it will be if he waits until he's 24... OUCH!!!

FYI they don't cut anymore. They use this plastic ring. It's placed around, and after 2 weeks the foreskin has dried up and fallen off. If you keep it clean, there is considerably less pain then the old cut method..

I saw a prank in the army that was one of the funniest things ever.

One of the other sergeants did this (I forget the reason why - probably just to gross out some other guy - it was the army after all ).  

Being uncircumcised (as most Danes are) - he put a bunch of cream cheese under his foreskin - after a through cleaning, of course - before we sat down to lunch.  At the lunch, at some point (perhaps in response to some question, or prepared punch line - I was sitting to far away and couldn't hear) he jumped up, whipped it out, rolled back the foreskin, spread the "cheese" on a cracker and ate it!






I laughed so hard I thought I was going to barf.  Others just barfed.
