Arlington stats on circumcision

So, I’d guess most boys at Williamsburg, if both here, will be circ. Most at Kenmore South of 50 won’t be. It’s mostly a socioeconomic thing.

So then at sibly it would be 100% for it since everyone there would have the means. Sibly doesn’t accept Medicaid or the uninsured.

Fact: girls will absolutely reject boys for being uncircumcised. Never ever have I heard the reverse.

So if you are looking at it from your child’s self esteem perspective the likelihood that they will be rejected because you didn’t get it done is more likely. Why give your kids something to have a complex about.

Our son is adopted and we did not have the choice at birth.

Maybe she doesn’t want her kid teased?

Not a common thing. Not worth mutilation. You can be teased about anything and you shouldn't conform to what a bully wants.

Like there will be whole exam days where there isn't a single uncircumcised boy there. It's something you notice because it adds an extra step to the exam when a boy is uncut.

An extra step?

Pulling back the extra skin to check that it's not too tight and that the boy is keeping it clean (at that age, they usually aren't).

And just for reference, the part of Virginia I'm in is very rich and very white.

That is really invasive and weird.

Well then let me burst your bubble. I am circumcised and I have lifetime problems because of it. I really really really wish that my parents didn’t do that to me.

i think its more cultural... like not common in some other countries, esp latin america and asia. I would assume alot depends on country of origin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevalence_of_circumcision

Which girls? The ignorant ones with MAGA parents? Sure.

Very disturbing that NPs employed by the school district are possibly doing unnecessary physical exams of genitals.

Definitely NOT part of the exam:
https://www.vhsl.org/sports-medicine/physical-examination/

Up until 2021, the forms had a "genitalia (males only section)". According to what it says at that link it was recently updated.

So that would be a very quick visual check. You absolutely should NOT be retracting boys' foreskins during routine physicals. (!!!!)

I am appalled that this unnecessary, invasive procedure may have happened to kids in our community.

What school system was it? Please tell me you are no longer doing physicals.

OMG. I remember this creepy thread with the creepy NP doing unnecessary, invasive exams on teen boys. So disgusting.

You the only one with a complex.
They can always get a Latina or a girl from Europe. Asian ladies don't seem to mind either.
I don't even remember last time I had sex with a circ'ed. All I remember about them is that the circ'ed needing to be warmed up. Every single one of them.The difference is so noticeable.
