They are not the norm in America, and therefore they are viewed as different and funny. When they become the norm, perhaps that view will change.
>>>>I'd rather my child not have cosmetic surgery at one day old, and teach him that people who make fun of others are just uninformed and don't know any better...but that's just me.
lol....at one day old, you're not teaching your kid anything. |

Yeah...when women are in the 30's and their priorities for a man revolve around a career, stability, and being a good father.
I'm talking about growing up and through your 20's. :-P Penis looks matter! hahaha. |

Are you trying to say any guy who looks at another guys' penis is gay? lol...that's just dumb. Are you trying to tell me that in the woman's locker room, you wouldn't notice another woman's body and compare it to yours? You don't laugh at old ladies with saggy breasts? :-P
It's not like we laugh at them in front of them...it's something we do alone, to ourself, or when the uncircumcised penis kid leaves the room. :-P |

yeah that's true. but for him it's a bit different. because he was born with a partial circ you can't tell he wasn't unless you flip it up and look underneath. As far as what I was saying about the women's point of view. Sorry TMI... his penis is slightly crooked and they seem to say that the best experienced they've had have involved a crooked man...lol
but like I said I was all for it at birth, it's waiting until he's older the swayed my decision

Children: DD (10) and DS (12) | Re: Circumsision | | To echo Teresa, more and more parents today are deciding not to circumcise their sons. I don't think boys with foreskins in the locker room is going to be a big deal because it is becoming more popular.
Besides, I teach my kids that God makes people in all different colors, shapes and sizes. ALL deserve respect and it's not cool to make fun of someone because they are different for whatever reason.
FWIW, I got married at 24 and my priorities for finding a husband revolved around stability and being a good father, etc.. The last thing I was worried about was whether he was circumcised or not. |

Children: Nichole | Re: Circumsision | | lol ok find me some women who think that any penis is pretty? Penis's are not that atractive looking sorry fellows. Do we hetero women enjoy them, of course but thye are still well... not pretty.
Only 45% of newborns this year so far have been circ's.. so majority of boys in the locker room with not be circ'd as well.
And you know when the penis is doing its "job" they all look the same anyways! |

I'm saying that they are small minded and no I don't laugh at the other women in the locker room. At our gym there is in fact a women in her late 80's who will walk around in the locker room naked as the day she was born.. I say good for you for being so comfortable with yourself.
also if you took the time to look at the numbers for yourself you'd see that is more and more being the norm. I personally feel sorry for anyone who can't see past normal and accept different. |

lol....at one day old, you're not teaching your kid anything. | She didn't say that and technically you're likely wrong anyway. Quote:
