Great news---My son was born yesterd evening! The nurse tried to talk us into getting him cut and even acted like she misunderstood us when we said NO--3 fucking times! She finally asked why--she had no answer when I told her the APA no longer endorses it. She then gave me the other "medical" arguments I love"
1. "It's cleaner"---sure it is--It's a good thing my wife and I have access to soap and water and can teach him to clean himself. If we cut out all of a kids teeth, think of all the trips to the dentist we could save OR we could just teach him to clean his penis AND brush his teeth.
2. "He needs to be cut if you are so he won't feel different"---really---I am 37 years old and I have no idea if my dad is cut--in fact, I don't ever remeber even seeing his penis and I can't imagine my son seeing mine---

Anyway, foreskin restoration is a lot of work and never completely replaces the alledged benefits of the foreskin. At the same time, circumcision is an absolute bitch of a procedure to go through as an adult. So...I say just live with what you have.![]()
Congrats on the birth of your son! :rocker:
enkie said:The procedure is actually less traumatic as an adult. One your penis is fully grown or mostly fully grown. The foreskin has detached from the glans. Also you can get Anesthesia, either local or otherwise. Also you can prolly decide how far to go through with it, partial etc. But the main gist of it is that the person who does it can make his own decision to modify his own body.
