Would you circumsize your son?

There are some potential medical benefits of circumcision in terms of a slightly lower risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) in little boys, certain sexually transmitted infections in men, and penile cancer. However, all of these problems are uncommon (for example, only about 1% of all boys will have a UTI), so lowering the risk of an uncommon problem isn't a huge benefit.

Additionally, an uncircumcised penis is easy to care for and keep clean, so improved hygiene is not a reason for routine circumcisions either.

  • In the first year of life, urinary tract infections (UTIs) happen less often in circumcised boys than in boys who are not circumcised.[sup]3,[/sup][sup]4[/sup] But UTIs are not common. Researchers in one large study concluded that the lower risk for UTIs is not significant enough to justify circumcision when balanced against the risk of bleeding and infection from circumcision surgery.[sup]4[/sup] <<<<<

    About 111 boys would need to be circumcised to prevent one UTI. About 2 out of 100 boys (2%) have bleeding or infection after circumcision.[sup]4[/sup] Circumcision is more clearly a health benefit if a boy has a history of UTIs or is at a higher risk for developing UTIs (such as if his urinary tract is not normal).[sup]3,[/sup][sup]4[/sup]
  • Some studies have shown that circumcised males are a little less likely than males who have not been circumcised to get a sexually transmitted disease (STD), including HIV.[sup]5,[/sup][sup]6[/sup] But circumcision should not be done to prevent STDs or HIV. All men who have high-risk sex can get STDs or HIV, regardless of whether or not they are circumcised. It is most effective to prevent STDs by teaching people about risk factors and about the importance of practicing low-risk sexual behavior.[sup]3[/sup] Male circumcision to help prevent HIV is more likely to be considered in areas where the disease is common and safe sex is not widely practiced.[sup]3,[/sup][sup]6[/sup]

Little if any medical benefit. Pretty conclusive.

Yes!

God put the extra skin there just to have it cut off. This makes perfect sense, just like the rest of religion.

Unless I am missing something, I can't think of anything else we cut off/modify at birth to prevent POSSIBLE future problems.
 
Its not at all surprising that there are a lot of comments on here about how a penis looks. A lot of dudes on here very uncomfortable with their feelingstowards themselves and others. Who cares what it looks like....unless of course you care about wieners. Its totally fine if you care about wieners, just cometo that realization and you'll have a better life.

With that said, if anyone decides to do it to their day old kids, I think you should "man up" (because being a MAN is very important to most on here)and watch it. They strap your kid to a table. You are putting your child through it, the least you can do is watch.

I'm neither for or against it....I'm more for common sense. If it makes sense for your son and family for you to circumsize (ie. don't like to talkabout sexuality, personal hygiene, needs to look like his dad etc), then by all means do it.

:O
I stand corrected!
 
I don't think I would get my son circumcised. It would be a game time decision but I doubt I would say yes. The only way it would happen is if wifey wasinsisting on it and even then I would argue against it.
