Boy mamas, curious…

Pros of not circumsizing? They don’t lose 30% + of feeling in their penis, as adults they can maintain harder erections that are more satisfying? Cons of circumsizing ? Rare chance of death or a botched job that has to get fixed later as a teen or adult - this happened to a friend of my exe’s - not sure there are any pros to it? They used to tell you it was inconvenient to clean them and to retract the foreskin but they’ve updated and changed care of intact penises. They aren’t carrying the trauma of the experience 🤷🏼‍♀️ I got my first son circumcised and didn’t for my last son and I regret circumsizing my oldest , but I was uneducated. I was told by drs as long as you teach boys proper hygiene, the foreskin can help protect against stds and such - they used to think the opposite . They still circumsise for religious reasons but there aren’t really any health benefits to it.

I didn’t get mine circumcised and I don’t plan to unless he tells me he wants it done. I was going to until I heard a friend say her sisters little boy had to have 3 operations, the first was botched the second mostly fixed the botched operation and the third was to fully fix it. It’s your choice of course and it’s absolutely awful the doctors didn’t fully inform y’all.

I didn't circumcise mine as when my step sister did her little boys was so swollen and red it pushed me away from wanting to do it.

It's actually more than 50% who are uncircumcised, for whatever reason we've just been led to believe it's not the norm. Look on the bright side, you don't have to add wound care to the already extensive list of things you need to do for your newborn!

I circumsized my boy after s week if being born … he didn’t cry at all and I’m glad I did it .. I thought he would be in pain after but he wasn’t I was so sad and nervous for it but he took it like a champ :)
