For those of you in or have had long relationships, did you ever get that feeling that somewhere down the road that circumcision was a fight waiting to happen? The whole circumcised vs non-circumcised argument is sure to happen in my household if we ever have a boy.
The Catholic Church, as well as many others, demands that all newborn boys be circumcised.
Jewish people make an event out of it. I know many of you can come up with several reasons for this (looks cleaner, better, etc.), and I can come up with as many reason not to, but as a man, I think that I should of had the option to say yay or nay on this one.
If God made everything, including sex organs, isn't it perfect already? Why are we chopping two or more inches of extra-sensitive skin away when the whole procedure is useless? Many people will say that it prevents disease. No, I don't think so. The disease comes with not washing that area right and letting the disease breed. I mean christ, what the hell did they do 5,000 years ago? I don't remember reading about an outbreak of genital warts among cavemen and women.
If a guy, say we start around 13 or 14, decides that he wants that piece of skin cut off, then by all means, he can get it done. But is it really right for parents to decide that for them? Whenever I ask my wife why she would want that done, she can't give a real answer, she just says that everyone does it and that he should be like his daddy down there so he won't feel different. Umm, that doesn't work for me. Plus, I happen to like the way an uncircumcised penis looks. I've never seen one up close, but I've seen enough porn to know the difference.
Look, you don't just fool around with a knife down there for no reason. One wrong slip and that kid has a scar there for life. I'm sure he'll remember to thank you while he?s self-conscious about taking his pants down for any reason. The truth is, this is just one big out-dated biblical passage that people took too seriously. Maybe in the time of Noah it was the style to be clipped, but I think it has worn out its welcome. This sort of procedure should be done personally, not religiously.

Chopping off some skin is just as crazy as chopping of a finger or a toe. The painter Vincent van Gogh', chopped of his ear once and history tells us, he died as a crazy suicidle artist... seeing how mankind looks at Vincent, my opinion there for is that people chopping of peaces of human are crazy and should be incarcerated for their own good... but how do you lock up 4 billion people that seem to believe in wierd fairy tales, where some kind of powerfull, yet always misteriously absent being is the boss of all?
"The Catholic Church, as well as many others, demands that all newborn boys be circumcised."
not true! the catholic church follows the new testament of the bible.
the new testament of the bible declares that circumcision is no longer necessary. (as god only cares about a circumcision of the heart, as the expression goes)
many parents THINK they are doing it for religious reasons, because jesus was circumcised, or whatever, but its simply not true, unless you're jewish or muslim.
hopefully that has cleared things up for you. and i encourage you to not let your wife pressure you into circumcising a baby, should you have one, because he's the one who has to live with your decision.
a foreskin has over 20,000 nerve endings, not something to throw away just because your family used to think it was a good idea in years past.
