ExiledInIllinois Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 What? It's only done because everyone does it. We don't need our earlobes, but no one cuts those off when we're born. We don't piss out our ears either.
Observer Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 I say clip (pun intended Clipper) away. We faced the same choice in 1998 w/our son. The nature approach was starting to gain traction back then. BEST choice we made was to do it! Had a gr8 old-school, old-timer doctor that was a real pro, precise, quick... Wham bam and done... No messing around, no mistakes. But, I mentioned that already. Most men like to pee standing up, unless one is Tom Brady. Peeing standing up is easier circumcised. In a public washroom, it will look like one is playing w/it if they are uncut. Seriously, I did mention that my father is NOT cut. He'd always prefer sitting down and this was his excuse. FWIW #EndOfDiscussion Thanks for the ignorance.
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 9, 2015 Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the ignorance. Why is it ignorance. Just making light of it. Do what anybody wants. It isn't the end of the world... And the minuscule amount of more pleasure during sex derived from keeping it is negliable. It really is no big deal. Edited September 9, 2015 by ExiledInIllinois
Rob's House Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 A few tidbits I've come across that I'll share for the benefit of others: - The hygeine benefits are miniscule and can be remedied by applying soap and water at shower time. - The medical benefits are virtually non-existent in the first world. - The foreskin adds sensation for both parties. - I know of a few uncut guys who have had plenty of experience with women.

Soap and water it a novel idea... Hygiene isn't really an issue for most of the model world after the age of 12, but from 5/6-12 is kind if important, there is no denying that there is more room for uncleanliness with te extra skin... What? It's only done because everyone does it. We don't need our earlobes, but no one cuts those off when we're born. Ear lobes actually help funnel sound to the ears....
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 It's either you do it young or don't do it at all. Simple as that. You make the choice for him, period. Of course he can make the choice later, but I wouldn't suggest that. Don't over-think this. Again, what I would do? Is do it.

He said it wasn't pleasant, but it worked. I'm sure with some lidocain it would be just fine.
Beef Jerky Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) Just looks better cleaned up in the long run. Ladies talk... Lol. Dont know if he is or not of course, but if Brad Pitt (universally known as "attractive guy") was not circumsided, you think he would have a hard time getting laid? Realistically, the biggest penis worry should be if its deformed in some way. Example: Banana d*ck. Now that's a problem! Nope. Just your regular sexaholic. Big difference. Im actually trying to not be explicit, which is the funny part. So his son will be Brad Pitt? Having a good looking unit boosts confidence... Unless you are a Brad Pitt and have a good looking everything else. Edited September 10, 2015 by Beef Jerky

Be decisive!

Just after hearing the unexpected outpouring of concern from those around me I was curious what others thought about the matter.

Move forward w/what ever you decide. Be decisive! I hate to agree with you but did post wimar sentiment earlier to avoid choosing based on what he can correct later. Even if you leave it, I'm not sure that's a great reason.

Even if you leave it, I'm not sure that's a great reason. It just pains people to agree with me SOMEtimes! I decided before I posted the thread. Just after hearing the unexpected outpouring of concern from those around me I was curious what others thought about the matter. I missed your choice. Leave it???
Rob's House Posted September 10, 2015 Author Posted September 10, 2015 I missed your choice. Leave it??? Yes
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 (edited) Yes Fine. That's cool! I can only tell you from my experience. Unfortunately, that experience was slammed above as being ignorant. It was never an issue w/my brother and I being different than my father... Yet he (father) was recluctant to go standing up. Now, I don't know how it would be in reverse. I am assuming you are cut? IMO. Giving him the choice later should never be an option. Of course he can do what ever he wants as an adult. Again, don't over-think it or you will be makinig your first mistake as a parent. You have to be happy with the choice YOU (I am assuming your wife or significant other) make and he will be happy with himself. I can't sway you either way... I just know what we would do and done. Again... Decisive and move on. Good luck and congrats! Edited September 10, 2015 by ExiledInIllinois

CountryCletus Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 I've never heard that. Do you have a link? Do you have google?? Or maybe do you have earlobes? Hahaha
FireChan Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Do you have google?? Or maybe do you have earlobes? Hahaha Yeah I found nothing.
Nervous Guy Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Are you going to ask this if you have a girl? I'm dying to see the responses then.
SouthernMan Posted September 10, 2015 Posted September 10, 2015 Congratulations on the new addition. Maybe you could have a compromise circumcision. A half snip. Have the head peaking out just enough to make an appearance - like a baby turtle checking out it's new surroundings.
