Every one I've ever encountered has had an unpleasant odor associated with it, no matter how clean it was. A guy could literally be right out of a hot tub and I've still been able to smell it. It's a total turn off. It's the same smell a cut guy has the day after sex, if he hasn't washed yet. Gross.

You sound like you've seen (and smelled) a lot of dicks. Thanks for sharing.

I have a teanage boy and I HIGHLY doubt he is discussing his contentment with his penis with you, his mom.

In fact, I am going to go out on a limb and say there is no way in hell your teenage boy has told you he is glad he is not circumcised.

No, civilized countries like Canada and in Northern Europe don't circumcise. They have higher life expectancy, lower rates of STDs, and better sex lives than the US.

Statistics related to declining birth rate in Canada and Northern Europe would say otherwise.

At the point that some of these countries have to have government advertising campaigns and programs to encourage its citizens to have sex and procreate...

Like any body thing that might be different (like a big birthmark) kids are going to feel weird about it. No one wants to be different.

I'd explain to him that it used to be standard operating procedure in the US only but it's going out of favor. (Show him statistics). So their are plenty of other guys out there. Also may want to mention that when erect it's very difficult if not impossible to tell the difference between circumcised and not.

Thanks; I've gone over all the stats and why we made that decision. I also told him that any girl who won't have sex with him because of that isn't worth his time, but of course at 17, his main mission in life since he's committed to a college is losing his virginity. I think it will also help when he goes away to college where he may not be one of the only young men not cut.

Tell him hygiene is all that matters. Penises are not identical anyway. They don't all look exactly alike.
