[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I've seen many circs of older boys and men at the hospital and compare it to circs of newborns. It's definitely a more complicated procedure in older boys/ men (about 100 times harder, involving many stitches, pain etc.) whereas in newborns it is relatively easy. Don't have any boys myself but would probably circ if I did because of the health benefits and small risks involved, and even the pain if it lasted days is always forgotten. [/quote]

Exactly--which is [b]why the argument of leaving it to a kid to do it when he's adult is ridiculous.[/b]  Either do it as a newborn or forget about it.

After 30 years of strep infections there is a reason I didnt get my tonsils out as an adult.  The procedure is much less complicated and less painful as a young child.  This is proven given the anstomy and changes as you grow.[/quote]

It's ridiculous to say the argument is ridiculous.
In most cultures of the world that practice male circumcision, it is done in teenagers/ young adults.
An ex had it done as an adult (no medical problems, just encouraged by well-meaning RN sister), and there were no complications, he wasn't traumatized. But it was his choice.

I'd rather that DS make that decision for himself, than resent me for authorizing an irreversible circumcision. These men do: "Mom, Why Did You Circumcise Me?" http://topdocumentaryfilms.com/mom-why-did-you-circumcise-me/[/quote]
