Okay. For the sake of fairness, I did receive something privately in my mail

that was of interest when it came to non-religous reasons FOR a circ.

 

The reason given was that in tropical climates, those who still had an intact

foreskin were at risk for Foreskin Cheese and that it is INDEED a matter of

cleanliness.

 

Now. I declined to enquire further about " foreskin cheese. " I decided that

THAT was one particular subject I don't mind being ignorant about... I figure I

gotta pretty good idea anyway!

 

And with that little delectable tidbit... I'm off to bed!

Kathleen,I have been a nurse for many years and have seen a

circumcision done. It is indeed very painful and stressful for a

baby.At the time I had my boys I was a new nurse and still a little

unsure of myself.If I had been a little more assertive at the time I

think I would have insisted on it being done with an anesthetic.All

it would take is a small injection at the base of the penis.I dont

understand why men wouldnt be a little more sympathetic to this.that

being siad, I woudl still circumcise.the majority of male babies are

circumsised at birth.I have read instances where some mothers dont

have it done, and the man later in life,feels " different " from others

and opts to have it done then. from what I have heard it is much more

problematic as an adult.its a big decision to make,and I would

encourage the mother to research and also talk with the doctor.

My son was circ at birth, but not at the hospital. Ours was for religious

reasons. The moyel came to the house, gave my son at 7 days an small shot

to deaden the area and in less than a minute he was done. There were no

tears, nothing. He was perfectly fine and it was a wonderful event.

Ok, a moyel works for 30 years, and collects all the foreskins he snips.

One day he walks into a leatherworker's shop and hands over the bag of

foreskins and asks that the leatherworker create something for him out of

the snips.

 

Two weeks later, he goes back to the shop. The leatherworker hands him a

wallet. " What's this, " the moyel asks? I give you all those foreskins and

you hand me a little wallet? " " It's a great deal, " replies the

leatherworker, " if you rub it, it turns into a suitcase. "

Looks like this has taken on a more mundane tone, so I thought I'd share if it

will help anyone. My son was NOT and got infections as a child and I always had

to remind him to clean himself. Also I DO think as he grew up he felt

" different " . He died in a sudden accident 15 years ago as a teen, so I don't

know if he would have chosen as an adult to have an operation or not...but if I

had to decide on a baby...yes, do it...and use anesthetic.
