I am circumsized, but from what I've read, there are no major problems with circumsision. Apparently you need to wash it to get dirt out from under the head, but that's about it.

well i am 16 nearly 17 and i have not been circumcised i have not found it a problem i can still masturbate and no girl has said anything about it. in fact a couple have said that it helps them more because they can feel the foreskin moving back and fore during sex. kk rate it

I'm intact and have never had any problems with having a foreskin, I think most of those problems exist in the heads other people. Depending on where you live your kid may be in the minority or not. This was a good article with lots of info http://www.enotalone.com/article/3509.html Sometimes you run into a person that is put off by the fact that you are intact, but I've met more that enjoy the fact that I'm intact. It's supposed to be more pleasurable for both, and it's hard to imagine sex without a foreskin.

The only problems are caused by worried people trying to retract it to clean under it. That can cause damage and is excruciatingly painful. Great decision to leave the lad intact. If he wants to modify his body himself he can do it at majority. The foreskin is designed to be self cleansing, just like the eyelid. When he wants to retract it himself he will. Not even the boy's mother should touch his foreskin as a matter of routine. The US is almost unique in its huge population of males circumcised as a matter of profit in hospitals. The vast majority of the world is as nature intended. As for ladies liking or not liking, uncut guys have a convertable! They get the choice of the exposed or covered glans. He'll get more ladies uncut that cut, that means!

I am very, very grateful that I am not circumsized. A few women have commented on it, just to notice, and I find it's nice to have foreskin during intercourse when lubrication is lacking. It has never been a problem to keep clean, and I can't imagine how anyone might have trouble with hygiene, if showering normally every day. The practice of circumcision used to be fairly rare (roughly about 5-10% of boys) up until the 1950's, when the medical industry started to really grow. It gradually became commonplace, peaking around 1990 at about 75% of boys circumsized, and then dropping to about 55% since then. It's been on the decline in the last ten years. Jewish people are only 2% of the US population. Why did the practice grow so widespread, so suddenly? The main motivation for doctors to recommend circumcision is that they get a few hundred dollars for every foreskin they can collect for the pharmaceutical industry. It's needed for laboratory use and manufacturing artificial tissues. The industry needs skin that is young, where the DNA has not replicated and degraded very much. By blindly accepting the authority of our doctors, we are literally selling the flesh of our babies to some factories. That's a sensational way of putting it, but after 50 hours of researching the history and reasons for circumcision, I can't find of any other way to say it. I started my research being just curious about it, then disturbed, and then aghast. Now I believe circumcision to be a barbaric and painful practice, with a few weak excuses used to promote it. Even today it's still so commonly and unthinkingly accepted, that most people just go along with their doctor, not realizing the effects on their boy. What a way to welcome a child, into the world.

I have an intact foreskin & have always thought the idea that cutting part of a males penis to be barbaric also I think that the fact the child dosent have a choice,thats done for him whether he likes it or not is wrong I know a bit of extra cleaning is required under the hood but this is no problem,all the ladies that have seen mine said that its gorgeous all the sensitive nerve endings in the glans and foreskin bring extra sensations for a man too.

I am not ciced and have had only one girl have a problem with it so i dumped her. She should be going out with me not my unit. When i was younger my parents showed me that when i am in the bath to pull back and wash it good with soap and rinse it good I have never had a issue with it and woulnt let anyone convince me to cut it off curtdude

The only problem my foreskin has caused is that it can get tangled in my pubic hair if I don't pull the skin down before putting clothes on. Between the ages of 13 and 19, I badly wanted to be cut because I thought I was unsanitary. For years after that, I was ashamed of being cut because I thought that the vast majority of American women would not accept an intact lover. Now I am proud of having all my pink bits. The only woman with whom I have been intimate had had other intact lovers before me, and accepts both kinds of men. When your son begins sexual activity, he may encounter some women who find the foreskin weird or gross. You and your DH should sit down with your son when he is 15 or so, warn him that this could happen, and tell him that women who talk that way are sadly mistaken. You ladies out there would be deeply outraged at a man who find bits of the vulva weird or gross. It is likewise deplorable for a woman to be unable to accept men the way Mother Nature makes them.
