[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So OP, when you see your husband naked are you sickened by the fact that he is "mutilated"  :roll:[/quote]

I feel extremely bad for him for having a surgery done without his consent. But I don't care about what his penis looks like. He was my first and there's nothing wrong with the way he performs.

Not sure if he would say yes if the option was given to him later on.

Anyway, I tried to have him sit through a surgery to watch it on youtube and so far he keeps giving me excuses. I think he won't be able to watch it without gagging or closing his eyes.[/quote]

I have no idea what you are watching on youtube. Personally I don't see the need for circumcision but have watched many of them as a health professional. Most of the babies don't even cry - they are not in pain. There is anesthetic used. There is nothing to gag at, there is very little blood and it takes very little time. It is a very very minor procedure.

Whenever I read anti-circ comments that reference it being very painful, gory, bloody or horrific procedure, I realize that these people are very uninformed and often making this decision based on sensationalism (like being anti-vaccine because it causes autism). There are valid reasons to not be circumcised and those should be used in discussions and decision making.

Believing your husband is mutilated and telling him you see his penis as a mutilated body part is such a disrespectful way to think of a spouse. Especially when he disagrees - I would be pretty upset if my husband saw a part of my body that I actually liked as mutilated.

You are going about his conversation all wrong. Stop reading crazy anti-circ / mutilation websites and get a better sense of actual facts.  Have a rational discussion based on fact and go from there. [/quote]
