WOW! Shallow much Tammy! Why don’t you cut your own folds of skin considering it harbors way more nastiness that a penis ever could :/

Why is it that only American men have so many problems with their foreskin when most of the rest of the world does not? Was he force retracted early? Doctors don’t know much about foreskin in the US, and many have either told parents they have to retract their kids foreskin and clean under it, or they do it themselves at the doctor appointment. Either way, its Not Proper Intact Care! It tears perfectly normal adhesions causing infections and scarring, and it can cause the wounded glans and foreskin to heal wrong, fusing together. Learn the facts, intact care is not rocket science. Wash what you see, wipe like a finger. It’s easy.

That’s not common sense, that’s ‘Murikan brainwashing! It’s not extra skin, it has 16 functions at least, and in a new born it is fused to the glans, like your fingernail to your finger. How many infections do you get under your nails? And if you get an infection do they treat it by peeling the fingernail off? I’ve lost an entire toenail once, it was horribly painful. But, hey, keep on being ignorant.

Only here in America are women so gullible to have this done to their precious babies.

80% of the world’s males are intact btw.

Hey ladies, female circ is done for the exact same reason as male circ. So, logic would suggest (if you aren’t sexist) that everyone should be circumcised.

And another thing. I didn’t say don’t do it (although I don’t think you should) I said KNOW WHY YOU ARE AND DON’T LIE TO YOURSELF AND OTHERS ABOUT WHY! Do NOT sit there and say you are doing it for health when it is PROVEN that there is no medical evidence that it must be done to prevent illness. You ARE disgusting if you’re doing it so your child “fits in” and if you’re comparing it to ear piercings. If you are doing it for religious reasons – that’s your choice – BUT JUST SAY THAT!!!! (and that’s not a good enough reason for ME to do it, which is MY OPINION). I never stated untrue medical facts in ANY of my posts and I never said men COULDN’T have an opinion I only said people who are not parents should not be on this website.

@Ann2323 – this is a PARENTING website! Asking that people who just enjoy debating don’t use a website dedicated to new parents learning and sharing information is not inappropriate. Also, I am in no-way a helicopter parent. That statement didn’t even make any sense as it did not relate to my post in any way. If you go to your doctors office, they will tell you to put baby on their back and not use bumper pads – dumbass.

Most of the people I’ve seen who are up-in-arms about the issue of circumcision are women. I think it would be worthwhile to get more input from the guys. My husband’s parents chose the procedure when he was a child, and he is glad they did. He’s never been angry with his parents about it.

The majority of infants do not react in that manner to circumcision and a relatively safe medical procedure is not remotely comparable to child abuse- apples to kiwis.
