[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of the many reasons my boys were circumcised after birth.

Just like the anti-vacc crazies, the anti-circ crazies never mention the numerous disadvantages.[/quote]

There are some pretty major disadvantages to circumcising, too. Cutting off half of the penile skin, including the most sensitive part of the penis comes to mind. Subjecting your child to an unnecessary surgery that he cannot consent to, as well. Risking infection, improper healing, a botched surgery that can cause pain and dysfunction...

Meanwhile, the other option is to leave your son's penis as is. I personally have handled more than my share of uncircumcised dicks, and have never witnessed any hygiene issues (that could be attributed to the foreskin, at least...) STD's, infection, and cancer are risks whether you/your partner has a foreskin or not - to me, the benefits of opting to stay intact far outweigh potential benefits of circing. And really, if humans weren't meant to have foreskins, evolution would have taken care of it a long time ago. (And for all you creationists out there, if men weren't meant to have foreskins god wouldn't have put them there, I suppose!)

I just can't buy the "but it's cleanerrrr! and also STD's!" argument. Teach your kid to clean his business and don't stick it anywhere without protection, foreskin or not.[/quote]
