Some good info from those doctors who no longer wish to make their $$$ on cutting off a healthy body part and therefore, no longer have to lie and hide the truth around male genital mutilation</SIZE>[/FONT]

All I have to say to the "he's going to lose girlfriends" argument is that I can only hope to have someone love me for who I am and not what my genitals look like. Why would you WANT your son to spend his life with someone so shallow?

I was going through and reading this thread and thought of a few things.
It was brought up that it should not be the parents choice whether to circ or not. What age do you think they should be able to make this decision? If they wait isn't it more tramatic? Will they have higher risks of horrible things happening then?
Another thing, the question about a female being circ'd. If it was something a parent had a choice to do for religious or cultural beliefs so be it. BUT it isn't here in the US so that doesn't even compare to male circ.
Right now my hubby and I are leaning toward circ. our son who will be born in Sept. We are doing it for personal and health reasons. I am still doing a bit more research about it and will continue to the day he is born.

As I mentioned, I posted some circ info (studies, videos, etc) in my posts on page 1 (by editing them). I highly recommend taking a look at it.

Some mothers have written about their experiences with circumcision during the previous year. “It was as close to hell as I ever want to get!” one wrote. Another related this memory:

Nancy Wainer Cohen recalled her feelings connected with the circumcision of her son, who is now twenty-two:

Observing their son’s circumcision has left some parents with a deep feeling of regret. The following quotes are typical:

[/SIZE]</SIZE>


I felt as if I might pass out at the sight of my son lying there, unable to move or defend himself. His screams tore at my heart as his foreskin was heartlessly torn from his penis. Too late to turn back, I knew that this was a terrible mistake and that it was something that no one, especially newborn babies, should ever have to endure. A wave of shock coursed through me—my body feeling nauseatingly sick with guilt and shame. All I could think of was holding and consoling my child, but his pain felt inconsolable—his body rigid with fear and anger—his eyes filled with tears of betrayal. (11)[/URL]

Are you trying to convince other people not to do it? I'm trying to figure out why the only time you post here it is about foreskin.

I have nothing but respect for the aggravation you manage to bring out in people.
