Kai when they were born, we said no. You would be shocked how much pressure the doctor and hospital put on us to have circumcision.

Yes, my mother told me she had to do the very same thing.

Kai We both felt it is their body and their choice to make. An infant cannot make such a decision.

Strongly agree.

Jonas Anyway, I hope folk can agree that circumcision of the entire foreskin is a much more radical modification than a 3mm piecing and that anyone considering either should really think about the consequences and be absolutely sure.

should not be an inappropriate comparison, of course a small piercing is not comparable to a circumcision

youdontknowme Also, I am pretty sure that any boy in a school locker room who notices something about another boy's penis will be pretending he did not see anything because he would have to admit where he was looking.

one of the best posts i have ever read here, thank you 😂

I was circumcised back then because my foreskin had become narrower. I still have a foreskin, however. It has just been widened. The advantage is that it can be cleaned thoroughly, even when it is closed. A disadvantage is that the foreskin can get stuck in the air holes in the tube and that can be painful. At first I also had problems with edema, but that has gone away. In general, I am happier this way because it has significantly improved hygiene. The glans has become more sensitive, however.
