Cougarboard Foreskin

You might also want to spare the kid the embarrassment of being mocked his whole life. Adults can understand it, but kids are just mean.

times are a changin' man. I know a lot of young parents (mormon and not) who have chosen to let their boys remain au naturale. I think I remember a stat that said in most states it was 60/40 in favor of circumcision or even 50/50. I think the national average is around 50/50. I don't think it will be like when we grew up and being uncircumcised was almost unheard of.

Besides, I haven't made my mind up on the matter, and even if I had, the wife has a say in it and I get the feeling that she is on the snip snip bandwagon.

when are kids engaging in full frontal nudity as "children?"

The only time I can think of was HS sports.

I hear the warning that kids will be made fun of their whole childhood, but that seems like a gross exaggeration. There seem to be limited few instances wherein kids will even be in a potential situation in the first place.

What Pelligino said. The only people I know who still consistently circumcise (more often than not) are Jews and Mormons, and even among these two groups I have observed (very small, personal sampling) more people choosing to leave their boys intact. I don't think it will be long before circumcision is considered to be weird, and it will be the 'helmet heads' rather than the 'elephant trunks' who are getting teased.

Do you get your foreskin back when you get into one of the 3 kingdoms?

I agree, even in HS most guys aren't wild about jumping into the shower with a bunch of other guys. With homosexuals coming out at younger ages, I can't envision exhibitionism in the locker room becoming more common. I've always thought of that reason as a kind of scare tactic (sorry falafel, so you know I don't view you as a fearmonger).

In Jersey - land of the Jews - the doc told me it was 60/40 or so when my son was born. This was three years ago.

Here in the Midwest most weenie wack.

Jarid is correct about medical necessity. However, therecontinues to be an influx of research correlating circs with lower incidence of STDs in the at risk population. So a blanket "no benefit" is not entirely accurate, though here in the states it probably is.

My MIL commented on the large size of my newbies phalus. So, it didn't come from my wife's side. I'll let you decide what that means in terms of the penile sufficiency of the Viking family.

Keep your MIL away from your child.

Aren't there easier, less painful ways to prevent STDs? I don't know, maybe abstinence or a condom?

Congratulations on the birth of your son and the size of his penis. You should erect an obelisk in his (or your) honor in your back yard.

No one had addressed what I consider to be a pretty decent argument in favor of leaving the unit alone. The head of the penis is supposed to be sensitive. You dry that part out, and subject it to a life of chafing, and it is going to perform differently than the protected version. The glans on a circumcised person has been 'toughened up.'

You may see the additional sensitivity as either a good or bad thing. A pro or a con, but it is a real consequence that no one else seems to address.

Your MIL was probably surprised after hearing complaints from your wife.

As a student I saw a patient that I thought had a penile lesion. The attending examined and then smiled at the nurse. I guess i was pretty naive to the masturbation chafe. I didn't know that happened.

Said methods aren't working in Africa.

yet another reason I'm glad to live in America. you should make that obelisk out of sandstone, it resembles skin tones more so that marble.
