I have NO regrets. I like the look better, I have all the sensation I could want, and enjoy the convenience. There's no need for the foreskin to be out there now that we have clothes. I don't like wearing a condom; have done so only a very few times, but I'm not exposed to any STDs because I'm the farthest thing from promiscuous you can imagine.

It's pure laziness to teach the kids hygenie, something that shouldn't be limited to the penis anyway. Both my sons are uncircumcized, my husband, too. Duh..he would miss his foreskin and me, too. None of them ever had an infection because of this.<br />As an European I just can say: Sometimes some Americans are very strange. <br />Do they really believe Europe is suffering from results of the majority of uncircumcized men? <br />I can't help but every time I see a circumcized penis and see the scar around the head...it hurts me to see it.

The teenager I teach everyday astound me with the lack of knowledge about their bodies. Most of you would probably not believe some of the ignorance I hear on a daily basis. Instead of mutilation, let's teach hygiene. Also, did you notice that the expert was a woman. She doesn't have to deal with being mutilated in America, but she pushes for all boys to be. The whole issue makes me angry. Leave our penises alone.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05299122685163501819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-28267442804858955062012-09-03T17:32:05.827-04:002012-09-03T17:32:05.827-04:00I CANNOT believe that the American Academy of Pedi...I CANNOT believe that the American Academy of Pediatrics would take this stand!!! At last the USA was making progress leaving penises intact, and now this! It is MUTILATION!<br /><br />I did not even post this in my blog last week when I read it, because to do so would seem to imply that their decision was good. Thank you, commenters, for taking a stand on this.Uncutplushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13456398466578990531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-90005201374403748802012-09-03T16:12:37.027-04:002012-09-03T16:12:37.027-04:00I've never been happy that I was robbed of a v...I've never been happy that I was robbed of a vital part of my penis without my consent. I have gone through life with something of a foreskin fetish, or at least a major attraction to men with foreskin, as a result. Yes, I do consider myself genitally mutilated.Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14279473113628377106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-20309985265170069032012-09-03T11:49:09.936-04:002012-09-03T11:49:09.936-04:00I agree with SEAN.

If you're going to cut off a foreskin on baby boys, why not remove the breasts of baby girls - instant immunity to breast cancer! I just don't understand why the medical community insists that we mutilate boys. Drives me crazy.<br /><br />Peace <3<br />JayAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5356114186987252972.post-81571706584176860722012-09-03T10:56:13.734-04:002012-09-03T10:56:13.734-04:00Isn't all this dependent on hygiene?

As for std's, circumcised or not, all penises should where a condom during sex which would again eliminate most issues and again should not be an issue for western countries.
