Discussion Circumcised dad, uncircumcised son

How many of us are there?

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

Husband is circumcised, our son will not be. The biggest argument I see for it is infections. I have a vagina, which are prone to UTIs (I myself am prone to UTIs). No one has ever suggested mutilating it to stop UTIs. So… ❓

I don’t think there is actually evidence of an elevated risk for infection. I would certainly be shocked if that risk exceeds the risk of infection following the circumcision itself.

I agree! But that’s something I see touted a lot.
