But nothing special has to be done. There is pretty much nothing to teach other than to wash yourself thoroughly which kids should be doing anyway.
Do you instruct your daughter to retract her clitoral hood and wash with soap and water underneath there? Do you instruct your son to retract his forskin and do the same? Do you assume they will know how to properly clean their genitalia?
No soap under either hood or foreskin. And don't douche.
And dont worry what others think about the smell. It's natural!

I disagree. Before the foreskin retracts maybe. But once it does you must rinse underneath it. By that age kids are unsupervised in the bath and if mom or dad doesn't know to tell son, I can see it not occurring to everyone.

But if you did actual research, I'm sure it would also show that "constant infections" are not an issue in Europe, where people generally aren't circumcised. Certainly, their STD rates aren't any higher.
Notice, I did not mention anything about constant infections or STD rates.
All I said was just because you've never seen or heard of something, it doesn't mean it doesn't happen.
Funny thing about research, someone actually has to research it and it has to be published for you to know about it. Not to mention, you actually have to go and look for the information. Dr. Google is good but is not the end all be all of medical research.
Did I say something about Dr. Google being actual research? And the subject of the debate that you joined was whether uncircumcised teenagers experienced "constant infections". Or what were you referring to? Nobody disputed that infections may occasionally happen (usually due to improper cleaning practices).
I'm not 8:24, btw.
Go back a page, 8:24 said these things never happen in Europe. That is what I responded to originally. I know what subset of the conversation I joined. Thank you.

According to a well respected medical source in the American Medical community, Balinitis accounts for 11 % of male Urologic visits in the U.S and 3% or uncircumcised males globally.

Likewise, just because you heard something happened once, doesn't mean it happens all the time.
But, I can assure you that any stats will bear out what I said. Circumcision for medical reasons is very unusual outside of the US.

They certainly should get right on that ! And their stinky armpits smelly feet and those teeth that need brushing also. Just turn that thing inside out and give it a good scrubbing. Your mom can help you if you need some help down there .
