Is it important for guys to be circumsized? Why?

Question:

If i ever get a baby boy, should i circumsize him or not? I hear that its better to do so because its more dangerous not being circumsized and that there's a bigger risk of getting infections or whatsoever. My guy friend says its the opposite and that not being circumsize is better. He's a guy and he should know about this but i can't help but feel that he's wrong. Who's right?

Answers:
well this was something that was started in the 1800s , before medicine was as advanced as it is now, and it wasn't even started in the united states, its just one of those thing that just gets carried on from family to family from lack of current education on the issue. there is absolutely no sense in getting it done its actually kinda cruel,you know they use to do the same to females when they were born cut out some of the clit thank god they finally stopped that. the reason they say it helps from getting infection is because its easier to clean under the skin ,but if you teach your son proper hygiene this will not be an issue. it also will reduce the stimulation in his orgasms as he gets older and starts having sex. think about it who made such a ignorant though of cutting a man penis, its just an old superstition made in England. and it still creates money for doctors offices but i can guarantee that any good MD will not suggest it. keep it natural unless you don't want to clean under your babies foreskin

When my first two boys were born, circumsision was done automatically a day or two after birth. They did not do that any more when my third boy was born. The result: as well as I followed the doctor's instructions about keeping that area clean--he caught an infection there--and had to have it done at almost 3 years old. Much better to have it done as an infant.

i am not circunsized. It doesnt matter. i never had a infection . God made us with hood.
And i dont know if girls like it like that but i am ok with my hood.

If a guy gets circumcised some of the nerves in his penis may be cut, and that is where most of the sexual sensation is. As long as he maintains proper hygiene by pulling back the foreskin and cleaning the area with soap & water & rinse well. This should pervent any problems. It doesnt really matter whether or not a man is circumsised. Its hygenic and easier to keep clean but not necesary. It will be somewhat hard to make sure that the boy's area will be clean. It doesnt really matter but if you dont want to deal with having to make sure its clean down there then do it.

I wonder if the first respondent abraded the area on her sons penis and unwittingly made the area more susceptible to infection. Societies and cultures have endured with the hoods intact. There is another issue to consider, and that is the loss of sensitivity with circumcision. In fact now there is a surgery to replace or manufacture a hood for the penis to prevent further loss of sensitivity- translation he may hate you for that decision later in his life.

It is really all up to hygiene, I agree with the other guys.

I think it is better for hygienic purposes. I have seen uncircumnsized men in the ICU with testicles swollen as big as grapefruits. Sure, they had other conditions but it was not pleasant. It is a simple procudure to be done while a newborn.not so easy later on. Plus, it just plain looks better!
