Circumcision.

My son is uncut and I would never do it. I think it is wrong to do it. He has never had a problem keeping it clean whatsoever. Also, it is about 50/50 of parents deciding to do it nowdays especially since many insurance companies are no longer covering it as it is an elective surgury.

No, we didn't have our son cut. It's not endorsed by the medical community where I live anymore (western Canada). If you want it done, you have to find someone in your religious community to perform it, and you get piles of handouts at the hospital recommending that you don't do it, and cautioning you as to what could go wrong.

nope i wouldnt,not unless there was a medical reason for it.my oldest son who is 4 was born with hypospadia where the hole he wees out of was in the wrong place,nature had also made him born ready circumcised,he could have had one or both kidneys missing aswell but thank god they were both there.he had surgery to correct the wee problem but he still wont ever have to worry about circumsision.i have a 2 year old son,he is fine and i dont see any need to even go there.

My son was born five and a half months ago and not once did I even consider getting him circumsised. I think it is a totally barbaric, archaic, unneccessary and intolerably cruel practice that should be made illegal. If there was a medical reason that it had to be done, then that is acceptable, but to do it solely for cosmetic purposes is sickening. Religious, social and cultural traditions do not warrant the maiming of a child. If it wasn't supposed to be there, children wouldn't be born with it... Whats your opinion?

I would have my baby boy circumcised. I wouldn't reject a guy that I liked for not being circumcised, but it's not my preferance by far.

i had my son cut i think the benefits out weight the negative but there are some cases that the cut is too agresive that it causes more bad than good its just a personal choice

my 3 boys did

Yes, in our country it is a must for all men.

Well I think its really up to the children, but me and my bf have decided to circumsize our son when he's born.. my bf isn't circumsised, and i guess it always bothered him al ittle since most 'everyone' is.. i guess he feels almost ashamed of it. or something.. i dunno.

I'm in America. We decided to have our son circumcised for personal hygiene reasons. Also - One of my friends is having to have her son circumsised because he has fibrosis. So it is a medical necessity.

It was never an issue with us. We have two sons and they both were circumsized.

Well, I dont have a son, I have 2 little girls. I am uncut but if I had a boy, I would want him circumsized. Its easier to keep clean and I wouldnt want him going through some of the embarassments I went through as a kid. Being uncircumsized is natural, however, other children can be relentless and sometimes you have to think about that when it comes to your own children.

I was wondering if you feel so adamently against this in every post and continuously asking "What country are you from?" why bother posting it. If you didnt honestly want to openly accept other peoples opinions on the issue, did you merely want to start a fight. You made it seem like you were insulting the intelligence of people, you asked they answered. Just because they didnt respond the way you wanted them to, doesnt give you the right to disown their opinions. Theres always good and bad to both sides of an issue. Im not for or against circumsision in any respect. My brother is circumsized and is fine, my boyfriend is uncircumsized and likewise is fine. Neither choice makes a child less "manly", however many boys with their foreskin do feel embarrassed escpecially in high school.Why would your children ever tell you if its a problem for them? Its likely hard enough for them to deal with humility, regardless of it not mattering, kids are cruel at any age in school. Many of them feel like they are different from the other boys, even though when they grow up it doesnt matter. I guess your a much older man who has forgotten what its like to be a teenager,otherwise youd remember the ackwardness in a boys room and changing rooms, ect. Why doesnt your post just say "I hate Circumcision" rather than.. "Circumcision. What is your opinion on this? Would you have your baby son cut?" dont bother asking people what they think if your not man enough to accept it.

I knew someone who got a horrible infection from not being circumcised as a young kid so definately do it!

we had that discussion when i was pregnant if we had a boy. I would have him circumcized. it might hurt when they`re a baby but they`ll never remember and its healthier.

yes, I would, and I did have my son circumcisized, because if they have to have it done later on in life, they say it's worser on them.

just out of curiosity. What country are you from? what are your beliefs? Are you cicumcized? how was your childhood? were you ever teased? or were you the one doing the teasing? oh and by the way how do you feel about being backed into a corner and interregated?

Yes, do it. It is a health issue. It's cleaner for them.

My husband and I will have this done to our son if we have one. The reason we believe in it is because we feel like we are upholding the covenant with God. The Hebrew people performed circumcision on infants to signify their responsibility to serve as the holy people whom God called as HIs special servants in the midst of a pagan world. In the Bible's first mention of this God instructed Abraham to circumcise every male child in his household including servants (Genesis 17:11). The custom was performed on the 8th day after birth (Genesis 17:12, Genesis 21:4, and Philippians 3:5). At this time a name was given to the son (luke 1:59, and Luke 2:21). Circumcision of the Jewish male was required as a visible, physical sign of the covenant between the Lord and His people (Genesis 17:11) So we feel like we should uphold the covenant that Abraham made with God and God with Abraham. This is just our view and we respect others views if you respect ours. Thank you for starting this post and God Bless.

I would have my baby cut, yes. It is cleaner and it's better for thehygene I find. What do you think?
