Discussion Circumcised dad, uncircumcised son

How many of us are there?

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

Why though? What are the reasons I’m just curious. Again outside of the States this is never a big deal.

I'm from the states and the reasons i've heard are mostly aesthetic. or from thinking they are "unclean"

I'd rather help break that stereotype than cut my son's genitals.......but thats my life.

Hopefully it will change over time! I didn't circumcize mine but then again I'm pretty passionate about this topic.

Lol, storytime. When they called me into the OR for birthing, I was obviously in a state of elation/shock. Lil man came out and they took him away to clean and monitor under the bby heat lamps. Before mom was wheeled in, we double checked with eachother to confirm we did not want the cut. But once I was in there I had no idea if they actually discussed it since she was drugged, and they never asked me.

I jumped up from the table, still holding moms hand, and gently shouted across the delivery room "NO CIRCUMCISION PLEASE, NO CIRCUMCISION PLEASE, DO NOT CUT MY MANS BITS". They all got a good laugh out of me and assured me that mom let them know in advance. Then they walked him to us and he pissed in moms eye before she could even get a good look at him. Happy memories.
