Any guys not circumcised but wish they were??

my friend,

please for your son's sake just snip it. No joking, no moral arguments, and no health arguments here.

good luck!

Having a baby boy very soon.

I'm trying to decide whether or not to have him snipped.

I'm NOT looking for any moral or health-related arguments as I'm familiar with these arguments. However, being circumcised, myself I'm unaware of what it's like (in the locker room or when girls first see me naked etc.) to not be circumcised.

I'm leaning towards no circumcision but wanted to hear any personal stories (again not moral or health) arguing either way.

Thanks for your serious responses.

Don't do it, never found it to be a problem, in fact to the contrary. The reason for it's popularity in the US was that Victorian doctors thought it would prevent young boys from masturbating!

It could seriously affect the relationship between you and your son. I have a buddy who still resents his father to this day for not circumcising him. Not saying that your kid will do that, but it's a possibility.

It depends how hung he is

I have korean friends who's mother was very religious and they had it done when they were 13 and 15 yo.

Their mom tried to convince my mom to do the same. Even though my mom is very religious, we were poor. One of the few times that I thanked god that we were poor.

not circumcised, and nobody ever gave a shit. sure, some people joked around now and then, called me forskie, but we (there was one other kid they called that too) just called them all snippy's. end of story...

for sake of reference, I graduated from high school less than 5 years ago.

I wouldn't worry about it too much...

I would say def. do it. Is there anyone out there who wishes they werent circumcised as a baby? Doubtful.

I am sooooooo glad my parents made that choice for me.

Why do you feel this way?

I'm circumcised but I could care less about it. I don't see what the big deal is.

There seems to be many people that feel very gald they are circumcised.

What do you base this on?

Many people in Europe are not circumcised. It's really no big deal and none of the girls I have ever been with seemed to care. however, it is cleaner and easier to handle condom-wise, I am told.

I would just do it... its got no downside as far as I know. Except that he wont be able to have sex (or a boner for that matter) for a few weeks... but I guess that is not really an issue here...

Yea it's one of those things you could do and you could not do. It really doesn't matter a whole lot. I would say wait on it, wait until he is 15, and if he wants to, let him decide.

After reading the title of this thread, I thought the OP was going to be offering free circumcisions.

If you don't you won't enter the pearly gates. The lamb of god refuses to shed its blood for dudes with foreskin.

my bro is not circumcised, he hates it, is embarrassed by it, and is scarred by it. do it.

If God wanted guys to be circumcised he would have designed them without foreskins.

when pondering this question, i think the best advice i got was to not decide now. Leave it for him, if he grows up and doesn't like it, he can have it removed. It can always be done later, it cannot be un-done.

Are you shopping around?

I could do it real cheap.

I am a Doctor (but a PhD not an MD)

My two cents.

A few guys have asked people who say do the circumcision "why are you so thankful your parents circumcised you?" Which is a valid point. If I were you I'd weigh out the concequences.... it goes like this.

How many non circumcised boys wish that they were? I'd say at least 5%. Small number, I know. I'm exhagurating but as you'll soon find out the flip side is nill. I personally have a friend who hates his parents because they didn't circumcise him and he was picked on badly in hs because of it.

Now.... how many circumcised boys wish that they weren't? NONE.

So, risk your son being embarrased, even if it's a slight chance... or guarantee that he'll never have an issue with his dick.

You make the call.

Oh and any circumcised man has heard many stories from their gf's of how disgusting non circumcised penises are. The women won't say this to a guy who isn't circumcised as they don't want to hurt their feelings... but once they are dating a circumcised boy they tell all these stories about how disgusted they were to go down on non circumcised penisis.

Me personally? I don't care. But I'll save my son the ridicule.

I wasn't circumcised and actually didn't know there was any stigma attatched to it until recently. In High School I was never made fun of or ridiculed for it and the same goes for today if im in the locker room no one seems to have a problem with it. Id say wait on it and if your son wants to be later in life he always can but ive never thought of being uncircumcised as a big deal.

Interesting argument.

Very "Pascal's Wager"-esque.
