an uncircumsized penis can have just as many problems as a circumsized one

they both can have problems
men had uncircumsized epnis for hundreds of years before us selfish people decided to cut them up.

Circumcision itself isn't bad. I'm just not a fan of how someone made a decision for me without my consent.

My husband is not circumcized. He is the only man I have ever been with that wasnt and I must say what a difference it is...not for the sex just in the look of it. It's amazing how different an uncircumcized penis looks from one that is. I have to say I prefer to see one that is I don't know what it is about it but I do. I think it just looks a little different. My sister in law said that her hubby isn't either but when their son was born they had him circumcized. It is healthier and cleaner and she told me that since being with her husband she has had continuous yeast infections, she never had them with any other man. So I think that if and when I have a little boy I will want to circumcize him if my husband agrees....we haven't discussed it.

Have you personally had frequent yeast infections?

This is just a question out of respectful curiosity.. I'm not trying to chastize you for your opinion, but don't you think it should be your child's future decision as to whether or not he wants a part of his body removed?

cancer, bad hygiene, AIDS, these are all myths about men who aren't circumsized.

I personally have not had frequent yeast infections but I did get other infections due to it. One is bacterial vaginosis I had it on and off and it is extremely uncomfortable much like a yeast infection. I never had this with any other man that I was with and those were all men that were circumcized. My brother in law is uncircumcized and his wife has frequent yeast infections that she only started getting after she was with him, therefore it leads me to want to have my son circumcized. I must say that my mother in law is not happy about that but she learned that she will get over it.

I dont think its mutilating mens genitals. Its alot better, firstly its cleaner and alot healthier for the girl. I dont think there is anything wrong with curcumcision. Plus when the boy is old enough to give his consent i dont think he will want to have some weird men cut skin of his penis off. But i am sure most guys would prefer to be curcumsized. If i was with a man who wasnt curcumsized i wouldnt break up with him cuz of it, but i would still prefer that he was curcumsized. I am sure alot of girls would agree with me.

This is the point: curcumcision itself isn't bad. It's doing it without the consent of the person it's being done to, regardless of these 'infections'.

Just make sure thed damn thing is clean, and you're fine. Seriously!

Would u want to wait until the boy is like 6 and ask him? is like 10? i dont think alot of boys wud want it then, but would hve prefered their parents did it when they were little. And now everyone is curcumcised, so boys do prefer it too, as do girls. My bf didnt get curcumcised until he was like 8, and he said he was so mad at his parents that they didnt do it when he was little.......

Exactly. I am and I would have rather been the one to dissed such a thing.

Where I live most are not but women do like it better normally from my experience, not that am that experienced lol See taking away the forsaken makes it less sensitive so a man can last longer. If I had been given the chowes I would of not been circumcised. I always felt I was missing out on something.

And as far as the cleanness goes. If there's a problem there I would say its moor to do with the mans higiene then hes dick.

yep tell him to keep his peter clean and there wont be a problem. All penises are great just like all vaginas are. I will gte my son circumsized because my hubby wants his son to be cut, but my own family does beleive in it. So I dont know.....

I think its wrong to do that. That should be up to him and not you. If he wants it done then he well get it done him self later on in life.

That should not be up to you. course that's just my view.

I am circumcised and if I had a son I would let him decide.

I also would recommend to him that he dose not do it.
But would respect what he did.

Ugh. It's not a fashion statement. "OMG, everyone else has it, so I want it tooooo ahhhh".

And NO WAY. Everyone is not circumcized (unless you're implying you've seen every penis in existance). The majority of the world's men are NOT circumcized, actually, and the number is ever increasing, because people are realizing that infant circumcision is wrong.

Some History About Circumcision
Posted: 12-29-07 09:11am

Circumcision is a primitive practice. It was carried out by ancient Jews, and the tradition carried on in the Roman Catholic Church. So it could be said that the practice of circumcision in the modern western world is because of particular middle age religious traditions. That's just my way to explain one part of the matter.

It didn't necessarily carry on in the RC church. There was said to have been a large debate about circumcision in the early church, though.... Paul was said to have been opposed to it. One reason being that it was a large deterrent for older converts from polytheism, where they aren't circumcised. It's largely a North American phenomenon where babies are 'routinely' (and I use that loosely, yet somewhat accurately) circumcised at birth in hospitals without any religious implications.

WOMENINPAIN: Every girl or women has to have a yeast infection once in their life its either because your sisters hubby has a dirty penus "when i mean dirty its because they may have sex when hejust got done taking a piss or just got back from workand his penus is sweaty" or its because they dont give your sister enough medicine for it to go away my cousin has a yeast infection constantly because they never give her enough medication...
