[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My intact son had his son circumcised. I asked him why...he said that he wished I'd had him done as a babe---he didn't think a foreskin was worth the trouble of cleaning and the discomfort of waiting through the partially retractable period. Also, he was deployed and stated that sand in the foreskin is a major pain...[/quote]

Being circumcised does not mean not having ANY foreskin at all, so I am not sure why he thinks he wouldn't have had the sand issue if he had been circumcised... I am sorry but this sounds bizarre to me. [/quote]

I asked him, because all of the circed guys who go on and on about how much they miss having a foreskin and that is what he told me. I have no idea if he got done as an adult....I didn't ask him that, and it's been a long time since I've seen him nude. And most of the circed penises I've seen have negligible foreskin---and as a va nurse, I've seen quite a few![/quote]

The former approach was to remove nearly the whole foreskin, so the men of our generation tend to have very little remaining foreskin. The risk, of course, is winding up with not enough skin post-puberty and painful erections. The newer approach errs on the side of leaving more skin (hence parents now complaining that a circ is botched or incomplete because DS has more foreskin left than dad and dad's generation). This is actually another reason why circ'ing to look like Dad makes little sense to me, because 2011 circs tend not to look like 1975 circs anyway.[/quote]
