Male Circumcision Page 3

A close friend of mine had to be circumcised when he was ... I guess about 7 or 8, because the foreskin wasn't developing properly and was causing him great discomfort. (Choke the chicken indeed.) We've never discussed it, but I don't think he has any kind of trauma or resentment issues, or anything along those lines.

And no, I'd never allow a son of mine to be circumcised unless it was for such a genuine medical reason. If he wants to disfigure himself later in life then that's his decision, but it shouldn't be forced upon him. You wouldn't have a baby tattooed, would you?

Don't know why that's so funny, as it's actually quite disturbing.

It's no skin off my nose.

I don't understand why it's not considered child abuse. You're taking a child and mutilating it against its consent. I don't care about your beliefs or your faith, unless there's a medical necessity for the procedure to be carried out, you're a child abuser.

I don't know what that stands for so I'm going to have to assume "Take Me Instantly".

I thinks it popularity in the US is due to it's prevention of infection and at that age it's easier. So if there are later issues with tight foreskins etc better to have got it over and done with.

In that way it isn't all that diferent to other early life interventions.

Thing is with advances in medicine it's not so neccesary.

When things go really really wrong, this could have happened to any of the BCG ladies.

F**k

Hell.

You read that article.

Might have happened to you and your parents never told you...

Might explain the rugby playing and kissing girls... although I would have to be gay - fancy the cock too much.

Ha, I doubt it since they never got anyone else's willy trimmed.

Is that what they told you?

They'd have years to make up stories....

Not all families are as mental as yours!

Oh come on they wouldn't sit you down on your 6th birthday and tell you the whole story.

They probably had to move, change their names, swear the family to secrecy.

Why don't you check out the loft see if there are any secret, dusty boxes taped up and hidden...

You wouldn't have a baby tattooed, would you?

Is this socially unacceptable or something?
