Comments on: Another boy – with foreskin http://miss-britt.com/2008/10/another-boy-with-foreskin/ Dignity is Overrated Thu, 18 Mar 2010 23:57:26 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc hourly 1 By: Hugh7 http://miss-britt.com/2008/10/another-boy-with-foreskin/comment-page-1/#comment-35351 Hugh7 Wed, 08 Oct 2008 08:14:41 +0000 http://miss-britt.com/?p=1004#comment-35351 Fumanchudad: "I don’t think I could stand much more sensitivity. I’d pass out." The ERs of Europe, Scandinavia, South America, Asia, and the rest of the English-speaking world are not filled with intact men passing out from too much pleasure. In fact your complaint of having nearly too much sensitivity sounds odd to us. Is that what circumcision does? The natural sensitivity of a whole penis means more _control_. "Snip it I say, far cleaner and easier to deal with in the diaper stage." I'm sure girls would be even more so (and of course I mean cut hygienically, with anaesthetic and so on, nothing like Africa) but for some reason that idea fills us with horror. And don't say "snip" if you haven't seen what is involved. http://newborns.stanford.edu/Gomco.html is from Stanford University - hardly a hotbed of anticirc sentiment. Momma2371: the main reason for "infections" is premature forcible retraction, in other words meddling. The only one who should retract it is its owner, when he's good and ready. Very, very few babies (<1%)need circumcision where it's not common (as above) and they know how to leave it alone. Fumanchudad: “I don’t think I could stand much more sensitivity. I’d pass out.”

I am staring down the barrel of Baby #2 right now and your words of encouragement were just what I needed!! Thank you! As for the snip-snip, I work in child care and have seen far too many 4 and 5 year old boys have to have it done because of infections. OUCH!!!! Those little guys remember it, a baby doesn't. Still, we went to a doc that specializes in "pain free" snips. I swear, out little guy didn't even flinch. I was the only one that cried! Britt, what a lovely post!!

That is the question huh...... How about, If we could go into the future and ask the kid when he's say 21 if he'd like his cash and prizes hacked on...do you think he'd say yes? Hmmmm…… to snip or not to snip?
