My boyfriend would be pissed if I did that, I let him make this decision, but I was on the fence about it after the doctor said he wouldn't use pain relief. My boyfriend still wants it done though

Have your boyfriend do more research and then if he for some reasons insists on doing this to his baby, find a doctor you're both happy with.

And go to a pediatric urologist.

And really, don't do it.

Signed, a cut father who didn't cut his son

Oh yes, bc pediatric urologists are so easy to find/schedule and always always always in network, right?

Oh goody the lunatic clown parade has arrived

NP, but what is lunatic about this? Is it untrue? It is a part of the child's body, is it not? I think waiting until they can consent to the modification is a reasonable stance to take. Is it the only ethical way? That's debatable IMO, but it certainly doesn't seem crazy or unreasonable.

Ps, dh and I told the boys that if they ever chose to be circ'd, we'd pay. It's their bodies, and we'd support them.

To date, they have told dh that they are VERY happy that they are intact and have no intent of changing that. Dh is very happy intact as well, and none of them have ever had any issues. As my dh's sex partner, neither have I.

Granted, I don't know everyone in the world. But I know many intact males, and families where the males are intact, and dont know anyone who's ever had any issues related to that. To be fair, I don't know anyone with a botched circ either, although I do know two boys who had to have it re-done in adolesence.

My husband and son are happy they're circumcised. They have no issues, and DH and I have no sexual issues with each other because of it. See how silly you sound?

You'd be cheap with this?

But they suffered. Unnecessarily.

Hold on-I'm the PP and I haven't replied-that was not me.

I do not believe I sound 'silly'. And my respectful post did not call any posters names.

I won't dock my puppies tails, why cut off part of my son's penis?

NP, when I mention how this is such a hot topic to my DH on occasion he gets borderline offended that there are so many harpy women out there implying that he is unhappy with the state of his penis and how it got to be the way it is. So there are many of us who can 'speak for' our husbands by repeating exactly what they have said on the topic.

By projecting your family's experience into the whole world, you sound silly. My husband and son's penises aren't your business.

OP here, I tried asking the Doctor to use pain relief, they are against the idea, but would charge me and extra 150 dollars if I wanted it so bad me and my boyfriend don't have that kind of money, so our little man is just gonna have to tough it out tomorrow. Wish me luck

Hello, this is a message board, an anonymous one and it is a thread involving penises. Therefore, one would expect people to share experiences with 'the whole world' here. I am certain I never inquired about YOUR particular dh and son's penises

If this is too mind-blowing for you, perhaps a pinterest craft board may be more pleasing to you?

Sorry for you and your son that your bf is such an asshole.

I'm a man and yes. I can imagine it hurt me when they CUT OFF A PIECE OF MY PENIS.
