[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because it's my daughter who's going to have sex with him 16 or so years from now. [/quote]

Ew.  [/quote]

Why is this a gross idea?[/quote]

Because you are thinking about the penis your daughter might prospectivly have sex with. Yes, that is weird, and frankly I'm worried about her privacy much more than I'd worry about the state of anyone's penis. [/quote]

You're gonna have to explain it to me like I'm stupid. What is weird about anticipating that my daughter will have a sex life someday? Are you just going to leave sex ed up to the schools?[/quote]

Nothing is weird about anticipating that your daughter may have sex.  I anticipate that my son may have sex.  He's probably a little older than yours, so I've acted on that assumption, e.g. by getting him a Gardasil shot, making sure we have a routine where he can be alone with his doctor in case he has questions, answering his questions, and teaching him what a condom is.

However, the notion that you, as a parent of a baby girl, have some claim to my child's penis because in some day someone, who is not you, might choose to have sex with him?  It's like turning misogyny on it's head.  The decision on whether or not to circumcise a baby boy is made by the child's parents, perhaps with advice from the people who know and love him, not by people who reduce him to a future sexual partner for their snowflake.
