[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just don't get the whole "being teased in the locker room" thing. [/quote]

My wife told me about this forum and this subject and I feel compelled to chime in.  I know it may be hard to understand, and I mean no offense, but unless you are a male, with a penis, who has been in the locker room setting, you simply cannot appreciate this.  All boys in the locker room can be cruel even if otherwise good boys.  All boys will pounce on differences.

I am not circumcised.  I was (am) popular and was a good athlete.  But I was teased without mercy in the locker room and ultimately outside of the locker room.  I was given the unfortunate nickname "Anteater," which I always shrugged off with a grin and a chuckle.  But this experience haunted me for so long.  Once I graduated from high school, I went to college as far away from home as I could get.  To this day I have not returned to my hometown.  To this day I no longer undress in a locker room.

Now that is just uncalled for.  I take this poster at his word and I think it was really generous of him to post his experience.

For those of you who talk about the youngest boy in the family getting picked on for looking different and thinking that's odd, you obviously don't have boys.  With three young ones in the house, they will see each other's bits and pieces (communal baths, shared bathroom time, running screaming naked through the house as toddlers, etc.).  I find that more normal than not.

And as for the siblings teasing each other, they will find ANY thing to annoy each other with.  I have a good friend whose daughter teases her older brother all the time for being born in a hospital, for pete's sake, cause the daughter was born in a birthing center!  And having a little "pig in the blanket" that looks different would be ripe ammo for a boy.

I also think there would be plenty of ammo for boys in a locker room.  For what its worth, maybe no more than other topics (who has the most hair?  Who is bigger or smaller?) but it could still make someone self-conscious.  And that's the point here:  confidence in the appearance of the boys in question.[/quote]
