My son's penis ?

I cannot believe you still haven't decided. If your husband hates not being cut, then cut the boy. I had my son done in the hospital after birth and he was just fine.

I think by now, it's a bit too late. It's a painful surgery for kids to go through. My husband is uncircumsized and he says that first learn how to properly clean his penis, and when he's old enough, teach him how to correctly clean it, and there shouldn't be a problem. Don't put your kid through the pain of having a surgical procedure at this age. Poor guy!!

The best advice I can give you is to wait until your son is old enough to make the decision for himself. He could find the same as your husband or he could find it's like your brother. Either way, it really should be his penis to discover and decide which way he likes it. If you have him circumcised, he could wind up wishing he wasn't and hate you having had it taken away that which he wanted to keep. One of my friends is like this and still won;t forgive his mother for it even thoguh he really loves her for many other things.

As for arguments, there is no difference in hygiene as long as the boy/man keeps it clean. There is no extra risk of penile cancer for being one way or the other (in fact the risk is so low it isn;t even worth considering). Ther eis no problem with it even if it is a little tight when he passes through puberty; stretching will take care of that quite easily. And as for some sayign foreskin looks gross that is merely the pinion of those who really haven;t had the pleasure of knowing a lot of guys with nice clean penises that have foreskin. The one downside to circumcision is you are removing a pile of really sensitive nerve endings that can add a lot to the pleasure from intimate contact. As well, removing the foreskin will cause the glans/head to dry out (from always being exposed to the air) and harden somewhat from being in constant contact with fabrics.

As for your husband, why has he kept his foreskin if he hates it so much? Is it possible he just finds it a bit of a nuisance at times but knows it is a good thing to have for many reasons.

On a personal note, I am not circumcised and glad of it. I keep it clean and learned to use it well so no one has ever had cause to complain about my foreskin being there. Plus it adds a lot to foreplay and sex due to all the extra nerve endings doing their job as intended.

I think if you were going to get him circumcised you should have done it at birth or at least soon after. At age 2 child are getting a clearer picture of what life is and are becoming a lot more aware of what goes on. It would be a very traumatic experience for him now if you were to have it done. Leave it alone...just make sure he cleans himself well and knows the proper way to clean it. He can make that decision for himself when he is older if he wants it done or not.

I'm a father of two boys, leave it alone and let them decide. If they hate it then they can change it later. Their is no reason to subject your child to the pain at the age of 2.

If you were to get it done now, it would be slightly more painful for him than if you would have gotten it done at birth, however, with him being only 2, he won't remember it later on. I would suggest getting it done. It is much more hygienic, especially when he is old enough to bathe himself. Little boys have a hard time cleaning underneath it and often develop infections. I don't see any good reason for not getting it done...good luck.

Hmmm, usually they do it right after birth, most hospitals have made it a practice for the past 50 years, It would be

in your son's best interest to have it done.

at 2 its a lil more painful for the child to be snipped than at birth.. i would wait and make sure he knows how to clean it first..let him decide when he gets older or has problems

Why would you wait so long to make a decision like this???? everyone has there own personal opinion i didn't have my son circumcised and his skin started to grow attached so he couldn't pull it back he had to have surgery when he was three!!!! it was horrible so after i had another boy i had them circumcise him right away i would leave him alone that is too old to have it done now it was very traumatic for my three year old!!!!!!!!!

Circumcise. Among other benefits is the fact that it is more hygienic.
