Circumcision...ever given it any thought? Had you assumed you'd just "naturally" circumcise your son? Did you even realize there was an option here? I hope this page can be an enlightenment to you.
You may think this a touchy and personal topic to be putting up online, but I think it's important to get the message out.
Far too many parents are having their sons routinely circumcised. Doing so because doctor suggested it, because daddy is... Not once stopping to think about this procedure. Hygeine is also often given as an excuse. Obviously, the people giving this one haven't researched a thing! The intact penis takes care of itself for the first 6 years probably. All that needs to be done until then is rinse it off.
And have you seen this being done? Yikes!! How scary is that? Talk about torture. Strap a newborn child down to a table and slice him on his most sensitive, intimate part. And what if the doctor doesn't do it right? What if he "messes up"? Then that child will have to again endure that pain and torture to have it "corrected" by cutting off even MORE. Please, save him the trouble, leave him intact.
Yes, yes, I know, some do this for religious reasons. I understand that. But for the rest of you...why? To fit in? Do you realize the number of UNcircumcised males is growing? In that case, the "locker room" argument would not work, instead, your cut child would then be the "odd ball". Nice try huh?
Please research this before you decide to cut your boys.
