How many people decided to have a circumcision done on their sons and did you regret it? There is a new study stating it is beneficial for WOMEN to be with a partner has been circ'd because the risk for HPV transfer is lowered.

I had both of my sons done and would have never considered not doing it.

I went to high school with a kid who had to have it done at 17. I'm sure that was a good time.

Ohhh I will never forget the time I saw one that was "not". I remember I had to ask my mom what it was and if that was ok, I was about 22.

Not that this contributes to this. Its just a funny memory for me.

If you're bringing your son up Jewish, there is no argument. It gets done, period.

Oh most definitely, get it done.

My nephew whom wasn't circumcised had to have it done due to many infections!!!! When woke up in his hospital room after the procedure, he looked down at his penis and started screaming to his mother, mommy, mommy they cut my pulakie (penis in greek) off!!! He was terrified, the poor angel.

And, I also noticed men that are not circumcised seem not to be able to keep their hands off it

There is actually a small, but growing, group within the Jewish community who do not circumcise.

If we have a boy we don't plan to circumcise him.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha.

Were you taking a survey?

Frankly, as a father, I haven't thought about it.

I am sure as he-- not going to ask them about it.
This place is a riot.
