I'm against the removal of any body parts - unless it's medically necessary. My kids have all their foreskins, wisdom teeth, appendixes & tonsils. If at some stage in the future a condition arose where the inflammation of a body part required its removal - then I may consider it. Until then, it's a definite NO.
Folks I know though have used such reasons as - he should look like his dad (so what - you're going to shave him a bald patch & paste on chin stubble) or it's easier to keep clean. As a mother & wife, I can assure you that there is one area of a male body that they are happy to lather in the shower without prompting. It's the cleanest part of their body.
we're dead agin it at our house. was never open for consideration since the biggest male feels even more strongly about it than I do - in my position as a non-penis owner. why does your bloke want to do it? he might have sound reasons - though I can't imagine what they might be, with the very greatest respect to mr pianaforty.
nah, dont think he has a leg to stand on about it. He's snipped, so he wants kiddy to be the same. There's been rufflings in the nnews every now and then 'its good for you after all' Which I'm not having a bar of, if you'll pardon the pun.
We had that argument too (& I love the pun). Tooly knew a bloke (out of the thousand blokes he knows) who had to have it done as a teen due to a medical condition. Apparently, it was horrendous. Which makes you wonder if it's any less horrendous as a babe, just that they can't say so. Anyway, he finally came around to my argument - it just doesn't make logical sense to chop off a part of your body for no good reason. Incidentally, I also knew a urological nurse who had her boys "done". But, as she'd seen all that could go amiss, I don't blame her for the decision.

I'm not for it, for all the above reasons.
ReplyDeleteHusby is.
I keep putting off the argument....
