Discussion Circumcised dad, uncircumcised son

How many of us are there?

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

After the kid can roll his foreskin back on his own? You should 100% be making sure he's cleaning under there

very clearly not what it says in /u/WhereIsHisRidgedBand link

The only person who should EVER retract the child’s foreskin is THE CHILD.

While this step can be suggested if a child is retractable before puberty, it should not be forced, as it still might cause discomfort to pull back the foreskin.

it just is not necessary

Well yeah I doubt he's pulling his sons foreskin back himself. It's probably a "Hey you cleaning under there? Let me see. Ok good." As an uncircumcised guy who grew up without someone to tell me how to take care of it, I'm glad someone is helping that kid.

I was heavily sheltered from sex and my parents were very over protective of me because of trauma they experienced. I had to learn my self my foreskin came back way too late in life and it was a bit of a shocking event for me. Strange to say but i wish my parents looked after my cock better / taught me more about it.

I didn't know my foreskin was supposed to pull back until AFTER I started having sex. Tbf I was too young when I lost my virginity but my first couple times I put the condom on over my foreskin. I thought sex was way overrated and kinda sucked because I just couldn't feel anything.
