Circumsized or uncircumsized? (pg. 3)

| Well my dad is a doctor, and he thinks it's retarded to circumcize (so no, I'm not). He's told me that it's also very risky, as sometimes, it's extremely hard to do it properly on a newborn (paraphrasing: "I mean it's really frikkin' small at times, it doesn't take much to screw up and accidentally knick off part of or the whole damn glans"). |

i thought they stretched it and cut it (at least the jewish, told by a jewish friend)
PS: i'm talking about newly born babies, not later. |

| Babies penises can be really small, especially in cold clinical conditions, so the margin for error is quite large. If you weigh up the benefits (better desert survival potential, aesthetic appeal?) with the risks (having a penis that is permanently inverted/bent/has a chunk missing)... I'd say its not worth it. |

So basically, yeah, lol... They are, after all, newborns. btw afaik, there's a metal ring thing or something they put around it to keep the glans at bay, I think (I'm sorta assuming from subconscious knowledge, or maybe assumption). |

| I have a turtle neck. The knob is very sensitive though. I would rather be circumsized due to some problems that i have...nothing nasty or ill, just some problems when pulling the skin off. |

If it's too tight, you can fix that without circumcision. :)
It's not actually too hard to stretch oneself, you just need to do it when soft with your fingers.
You can also go to a doctor and get some steroidal cream that works 90% of the time to loosen it.
And if none of that works, you can get a little snip at the bottom that'll loosen it. :)

wow, you seem to be very informed, lol
btw, I personally would hate going to the doc for weird problems like that ("below the belt" problems). Way too embarassing, and the "dropping your pants" part is just not right... |

Yep...it can be a problem for some. Historians speculate that this was the reason for why circumcision ever began in the first place...someone in power had bad phimosis, then decided that everyone else should have it done on them to prevent it....though, it was very rare in asian cultures...
Infections are not very common, though phimosis, in some form, which occurs in about 1:40 to 1:15 or so guys is. The more radical and endangering forms are more rare.
In any case, people seem to be working on better and less harsh ways to deal with today instead of circumcision, which I think is a positive thing. :)
And to the comment about dropping your pants in front of a doctor...most girls do it every year, and then some more intrusive stuff. It's not that bad, and it's a common problem anyhow. |

I wish i had my foreskin back.
I think its really wrong to make a decision like that for someone. Let them decide that when they grow up.
