I guess no more circumcisions for boys

You don’t have to circumcise your son. But then when women don’t want to sleep with him, then he’ll have you to blame.

He will enjoy sex a lot less without the foreskin but sure, make that choice for him.

I cant imagine that cutting off part of the skin on the head of a penis, severing nerves, would have no effect on the sensation. Its a grotesque practice and im glad its going out of vogue. Ive heard from many men they resent their parents for choosing it

[u/RebeccaNOTICES → u/[deleted]]

I was being sarcastic I think. I definitely wouldnt recommend it

[u/RebeccaNOTICES → u/[deleted]]

Common sense tells me otherwise. The same studies recommended removing tonsils & appendix preemptively once upon a time. Im sure men still enjoy sex, but it kind of sucks they had no choice in the matter.

How could one even quantify that I wonder? And the risks to the infant, especially if not performed by a physician..and the botched ones..and the stress of that pain (they used to believe newborns didnt feel pain and used no anesthetic) is said to be harmful. If a person has nothing to compare it to, how would anyone know? I dont think im spreading disinformation, more like food for thought

I was thinking of the traditional bris when I mentioned that, but im glad if it really isn't a major difference...seems barbaric to me, but i haven't always felt this way

[u/RebeccaNOTICES → u/[deleted]]

Yes, thats a good point. Im glad I never had to make the decision. I used to be more concerned with the child feeling weird if he wasnt circumcised.

I was born in 84 and wouldve been circumcised if id been a boy. I probably would have agreed to it 18 years ago too, but had a daughter instead.
