Yeah, I know what you mean. It broke my heart to know the pain that was endured when my son had it done. I knew I had to do it, but when they took him away to have it done, I just felt so bad knowing what he was going through. They brought him back and he wasn't crying anymore, but it still just broke my heart. You know it has to hurt like crazy.

And they try to tell you it hurts very little. They don't use any anesthesia either. It seems in America, religious reasons are the only reason they DON'T do circumcision.

Exactly.

I'm lutheran and cut...

What religions dont?

Me too. I'm waiting until I get married.

A dying breed...

I dont know if I will wait for marriage just because I'm a curious curious boy...

When you get older, you look back and think you knew exactly what you were doing when you were 16. You didn't, and you guys have so much more to face than I did. AIDS, more STDs. It's a scary world. You have to know you are naive yet, don't ever let anyone tell you being a virgin isn't normal. It's such a good thing to be. Don't give that away to anyone before you're ready. And there are some nasty guys (and girls) out there. Be careful not to put yourself in a dangerous situation.

Man, do I sound like a mom or what? Anyway, I'm really, really proud of you girls. Stand tall and speak for yourselves!

In one of my classes last semester (Sociology of Children) my teacher (certified Dr. and Professor) that there is no proven sexual advantages or disadvantages of either, and that Drs are now believing that the little chunk of foreskin on or off doesn't make a difference in keeping it clean. In this class we talked about if we would ever do it to our kids, and reasons why, and the most popular answer among us guys, was that we consider doing it becuase we were. My professor also said that studies have shown that circumcision is done less now than it use to be as it is considered more of a "surgical procedure."

To me it's more of a cultural thing that we do it. In many cultures it is common to circumsize females to prevent sexual stimulation, and they keep doing it to their daughters because it was done to them. How many people in America think female circumcision (also called Female Genital Mutilation or FGM) is wrong yet with guys it's ok?

And about that shower thing... guys are made fun of A LOT more because of size instead of tip style. It's much worse to have a "centimeter peter" as some people say, than to have an uncut tip.


H-D

Im waiting untill im married too!, you should,it will be so much better if you do!

Thanks for the info HD! That was worth reading. I read a report a student did on female circumcision, and it was just God awful. It made me sick, literally. They do that to the girls though after 10 I think. They have to literally hold them down, and I believe some have died from bleeding or infections. It's a terrible thing!

Well said, Joy.:clap: :clap:

shes right, its a scray world out there... and im not doing much to help either LOL ;)

but all kidding aside, the last thing anyone needs is to be scared shitless...

:D

i am circumcised, and proud of it too. but that reminds me of something. i think i'll start a thread. look for it ;) it will be kind of adultic (?)
