I'm circumcised, and I've seen a couple studies on this. Here's why I would have my son circumcised:
1. It apparently adds a full inch to penile length. And, hey, an inch can make a big difference.
2. Not having a foreskin can prevent yeast infections, and no one likes yeasty body parts.
3. I was circumcised within an hour of birth, and there was minimal bleeding and no crying whatsoever (according to my parents), however, my brother was cut 2 weeks after birth and he was screaming bloody murder (again, according to my parents). Circumcision right after birth is apparently less painful, since you're not fully aware of your surroundings, you know, since you've just been born.
If I weren't circumcised now, I would not want to be because I like to keep sharp items away from my junk, and I would think the operation would hurt like a *****.

Well, that's a bit harsh.amaranth_dru said:
How about you remove your nostrils too? It's the same thing, outer protection covering mucous tissue. The inner walls of the nose will dessicate, and you'll never have problems with snot again! And in a few hundred years, I'm sure women will refuse to kiss guys who haven't removed their nostrils because it becomes an arbitrary cultural mutilation trend. Just like circumcision scars, exposed sinuses will be called "streamlined".
Living in australia, As Far as i can tell We don't cut. Porn wise I've never seen an uncut penis but in real life I've never seen a cut one. not that i've seen many... Uncut look better in my opinon So Probably not
lol, "ruin"? More like "possibly reduce his pleasure by a marginal amount even though no medical study has been able to prove or disprove this with any degree of scientific certainty."Cid SilverWing said:
As a cut guy the only things that ruin my sex life are overly thick condoms, whiskey dick, and girls who are dead in the sack.
Sure I could chop of parts my hypothetical son's penis for no proven medical benefit whatsoever and no religious reasons. Or I could just teach the child how to shower. Same end result really.
I got circumcised when I was a kid, possibly five? Old enough to remember anyway. I had it done because of an infection or something I think... Either way I'm happy about it.SilentCom said:
I have decided that if I ever have a son, I will look at whether circumcision is still more popular than leaving it be. And I will choose the more popular thing so that he won't have an extra thing to be teased about (since I intend for my son to be a major geek).
Not unless there's some pressing medical reason for it.
My mother's father was circumcised later in life, because during the war proper hygiene was pretty much impossible and there were... complications. He also apparently had the notion that "my sons aren't going through THAT" and had his boys circumcised.
On my dad's side, though, circumcision never seemed to be the practice, and I was left intact, for which I'm quite grateful.

People who say it's never an option are clearly idiots. If I hadn't had mine cut off I was told that either I'd never be able to have sex or it might work itself out on its own or one day my foreskin would tear apart and they'd have to do it anyway except as a panicky emergency procedure. So yeah, I went with circumcision, even if it did mean being unable to walk for about a week and the week after that being incredibly careful. I have no doubt I made the right choice then and I would definitely try to avoid my son going through a similar experience, though I would probably find a damn good surgeon.zelda2fanboy said:
That said, if it wasn't a genetic thing there just wouldn't be any point as odds are he'd never have any issues and unnecessary surgery is silly so I understand it's not for everyone but my case is very special. Some would say I'm a "special case"... XD
Not having to pull your foreskin back to clean is a pretty lazy-ass definition of "easier". If it is any easier then it's not by much...bdcjacko said:
OP: I'm against circumcision. If we call female genital mutilation wrong and abhorrent then I don't know on what grounds we can support circumcising males. Sure the effects aren't as awful, but you're still altering their anatomy at a point where the have no ability to choose. To me that's wrong.
Also, it makes fapping more difficult... FAPPING!
Absolutely not. Don't want to be a dick of a parent now do I, he'd be fuming when he's a teenager. 
No, I don;t really see what the point of it would be and it's kind of a dick move to do something like that to someone without their consent.
