Should Circumcision be banned?

[Tim]

If I had a son he would not be inspecting other people's dicks, unless he turned out to be gay of course. Why should we be so paranoid about our genitalia? There's no reason to worry over a natural penis, it's just a dick.

There hasn't been a boy in the history of communal showers that hasn't looked. If for no other reason than to make sure they are falling in the normal range...

It has absolutely nothing to do with homosexual feelings.

lol trust me guys end up seeing other guy's dicks growing up, it has nothing to do with being gay and inspecting cocks, it just HAPPENS.

I just think it sounds very gay to be comparing penises. It's normal yes, but sounds gay to me. Ain't no communal showers here, I think circumcision should not be a matter of blending in with everyone else. Even if a guy wasn't circumcised, maybe women should learn to be more tolerant and not so judgmental over a natural penis. If they really love their man she would not care if it was or not, she would still make love to him

Women compare breasts all the time do they not? Does that make them Lesbians in your mind?

Don't you know... the dick defines the man? (In their eyes, anyway.)


My kid plays baseball, football and basketball for his school. After sporting events or practices, they're off to the field house to shower. (Ironically, we just had this discussion the other day, because, he had some serious arm pit odor going on. ) He stated that the shower area is wide open, with poles all around. Each pole consists of 8 shower heads... in a circle... so... it's not that they're inspecting each other dicks, it's the fact the the dicks are dangling right there in a circle. At 12 years old, they are very, very self conscious.

And if I lived over there, my decision to have my boys cut would have taken a different turn... There is a very good probability that they wouldn't be circumcised today.

But being here and the fact that it doesn't harm them or deform them, the choice was clear for me.

Precisely. :nod:

I dated a woman once that was completely natural, and I mean completely. She wouldn't even trim... now I tried to not let it bother me, really I did... but she had to go. I was tired of ending up with a mouth full of 4 inch long pubes in it. Call me superficial, call me what ever you like, but it was never going to work...

Hair is different to the genitalia.

I agree that there should be a Poll on this. I have been with both and I notice the difference. If I had had a boy I would have had him circumcised. Not for Religious beliefs or anything like that but because I believe that the majority of men in the US are circumcised and I wouldn't want my son having a harder time growing up because he was different than the other boys his age. Just one more thing for kids to pick on and at the age that kids shower together in school it's bound to stick out.

Kids have a hard enough time growing up. Why should we as parents not make the decision and give just one more reason for our kids to be different. We have to take in account what's best for our children when they can't and I see circumcision as the way to protect them from something that could turn into a very sensitive situation.

Conforming is for boring people.

I meant to make this thread a poll but I forgot to click the "make poll" option , is there any way to add one or is it too late?

Kids aren't thinking of conforming or not conforming they are just thinking why the FUCK am I different from all the other boys? What is wrong with me? imagine how humiliating that would be for a kid if some situation comes up where he's "exposed" and other boys see that he's different from them, especially DOWN THERE, he'd never live it down.

That would make it the third one...

Oh, wow. Ok. :willy_nilly:

Then the majority of MEN in the US are boring. Although... they weren't the one's who conformed... their parents did.

Yes'siree Bob, your post makes perfect sense to me! Not. :ninja

Not if he does a yes or no to the thread question. It would be unique. Well, kind of.

I'm thinking Freud would have a field day with this forum as of late.

Not unless the child was raised to appreciate being different

I'll ask tonight and let you know what it's like for a guy to be different in the US.

I would disagree with this part... at least at your boys age. It's more a matter of curiosity and trying to be "normal" and boys do that by comparison. At your boys age, just falling within the "normal" range of those around him will give him comfort.

Don't put words in my mouth, I just said conforming was for boring people, who it applies to was your interpretation

I asked my boys dad who ISNT and is nearly 40 a while back when this first started if he ever felt different or embarressed.
After asking WHY i wanted to know, and telling him about this ,He cracked up at how you "yanks" are obsessed with it...and said he didnt talk penis looks with his mates, and never felt different.

DId you guys point and laugh at each other in the showers?

Did you REALLY talk about little Johnnys uncircucised penis amongst your mates?
