"I am the father of a circumcised son, unfortunately he is one of those little boys in which "no reliable statistics" are known, he suffered complications from surgery. A hospital-born infection entered at the circumcision site, the result was seizures and profound brain damage. I'll watch my son go to be a man in a wheelchair, he does not speak, he does not see. Dr. O failed to address the real benefit of circumcision; it's parked in the circumciser's driveway. Today circumcisers have the audacity to charge $350 for a fifteen minute procedure, one hour's work will make monthly payments on their BMW. Medical insurance groups are wisely dropping the procedure from their health plans. The mutilations will stop when we TAKE THE PROFIT OUT OF CIRCUMCISION." From L.T Ohio
"Surprise, we cut off part of your penis too!"
I personally had my perfectly normal, functional, significant and beautiful foreskin amputated at age 9 years, during a "routine" tonsillectomy was not forewarned that my penis would be involved in the surgery. I did know, and consent to the tonsillectomy, and it was supposed to limit my severe and painful earaches. It did not limit my earaches. I awoke in the hospital with a huge bloody dressing to my penis. I was horrified, humiliated, and felt anger, sorrow and deep personal loss. I now feel that I was raped, or at least sexually abused. I was unable to wear underwear for the whole summer. Any cloth or touch to the tender glans was painfully sensitive. I was left with ugly skin tags, skin bridges and emotional scars which remain with me nearly 30 years later. To this day I am apprehensive if anyone sees, touches, or becomes intimate with my penis. I have had a lifetime of inability to form a sexual relationship. From D.S. Kansas
Hospital Pressure
"It seems that a few hours after my friend Deb's delivery and while she was still sedated a nurse came into her room and told her that she had forgotten to sign a consent from regarding her baby. She took the paper and fortunately was able to read and understand it before she signed it. It was a consent form for circumcision. She informed the nurse that she had not forgotten to sign it. She and her husband had refused to sign it because they did not want the surgery performed on their son. The nurse then asked, "Don't you want your baby to be normal?" Deb said she told the nurse, "Yes, we want our baby to be normal, that is why we do not want his healthy normal body violated and I would suggest that you do some reading and research on what is and what is not normal in the care of an infant male." Can you imagine, just how close this came to violating their wishes. It makes me wonder how often this might be a standard rather than an exception". From M.V. New York

I trust you made the right choice as of these 5 months! Other wise your son is damaged for life! Sorry to say! Im uncut and have no problems! People who talk about foreskin don't actually ask people who have foreskin how they feel about it! If you watch a circumcision video 4 times in a row! You will cry so hard you'll run out of tears!
Reading your comment and seeing your compassion for your son makes me feel good that at least some parents realize circumcision is wrong. Congratulations on your son and best of healt and happiness to you all. Please continue to post your comments and spread the word. I am EXTREMELY grateful I escaped being circumcised. I think your son will feel just as grateful, especially if he becomes informed about circumcision when older. He will likely not have his kids cut either. Thanks for posting.
It is a sad state of affairs that many American moms and dads believe that circumcision is "beneficial." A great lie. These crimes against humanity will be a stain on the face of American forever, if America lasts that long, hopefully not. Everyday realizing you had the better part of your penis cut, without your consent, is a nightmare. for the 48% of so of American parents rejecting this barbaric practice, you are the wise ones, the just ones, the kind ones. It seems American Medicine is wrong
Uncircumcised men enjoy more sensitivity at the head of the penis because their nerves are kept fresh and protected in a warm and moist environment. They also report having more comfortable erections because of the extra shaft skin that is built when the foreskin retracts. The foreskin also massages the penis head and shaft during intercourse, making sex much more enjoyable.
Billions13, I was all for circumcision, but now I am beginning to change my opinion. Take another look at this video did you not see those baby boys with their arms and legs restrained screaming in agony as a part of their anatomy was removed. These infants may not have the ability to choose but their right to genital integrity is being violated.
