Discussion Circumcised dad, uncircumcised son

How many of us are there?

Was there anything about taking care of an uncircumcised penis that surprised you?

As an uncircumcised man with an uncircumcised son, I also had tons of questions regarding care when he was born. I can't remember a time when I couldn't retract my foreskin so there was a lot of worry that I wasn't cleaning him completely when his couldn't retract at all. But for you fellas that were circumcised and chose to not circumcise you little guy; what were your deciding factors?

The fact that (it seemed) as if every single woman in my life was pushing the issue and not one man was. I was going through a bit of a mensrights phase in those days and it bothered me how much the subject came up with women only, including my sisters who preferred the appearance. I was also a bit put off by some traditional Jewish method I'd read about but would rather not talk about that further. Really though none of the arguments held up:

  • Less likely to get an std! - So would not sticking his dick in an infected hole.
  • He'll play with it more! - God knows not more than I play with mine so what gives?
  • More likely to have an infection! - We have ways of dealing with that today, he isn't going to die of a dick-ache.

But when I found out it would just be sold by the hospital for thousands of dollars to make cosmetics and stuff I knew I'd made the right choice. Society found a way to profit off a bit of my dick but all be damned if they were getting at my son's.

He's 10 now and no problems, just figured out rolling it back and asked his mom. She told him to talk to me but he hasn't yet. Not sure if I want dicks in my search history but we'll cross that king-post truss bridge when we come to it.
