I really hope that my children don't choose to have sex with people who will judge them based on how their private parts look. It seems like a pretty silly thing to worry about.

Folks -- a few reminders:

Please keep the discussion respectful and on-track, and please discuss the topic, not each other.

Thanks!

I agree and to add to that I think that the people who find it unappealing do so because it's not something that they have seen before or often. Since more and more people are now forgoing circumcision, uncircumcised penis' will be just as common, if not more common as circumcised. I suspect people won't be as surprised or "disgusted" because they will see them as normal.

Silly? Really? It totally is not silly, it is desire. It is arousal, it is what turns you on vs what turns you off.


Luckily for me my husband was circ'd. Not sure I would have went further with him if he was not, it was a very long time ago.

Once again, we can't control who we love or what we love. And I don't love turtlenecks. It is a personal preference, like people who don't like fat chicks, or short guys. Are you going to insult them and call them silly? It is somewhat shallow I understand, but since being aroused is a requirement of falling in love in my opinion, you just can't fake liking something.

Why are all of you so worried about it? You do realize people very much judge a book by it's cover even though it is unjust. We all judge a book by it's cover somewhat. Whether it is the car you drive, the clothes you wear, the house you live in, or the way you present your children. We judge and many times wrongly.

I had my son done because his father was, I felt it was cleaner in the long run, and I am not a fan of uncirc'd men. How is this a problem for any of you?

I find it hilarious you never thought about your sons in the locker room or the bedroom with the turtleneck.

I also am not really into chicks with the large inner labia look while watching porn, BUT THAT IS ME, You get it now? I don't find some private parts as attractive as others. I find certain nipples and boobs more attractive than others also. WOAH. Can you believe it? Just like when guys LIKE certain boobs or big butts, or NO butts. We all have our turn ons. I like pectoral muscles, I like my man cut (meaning muscles) some women don't.

Luckily for me my husband was circ'd. Not sure I would have went further with him if he was not, it was a very long time ago.

I could meet someone and initially not be attracted to them based on looks but after getting to know them develop an attraction based on their personality which makes them seem way more physically attractive then they were initially. Obviously we don't think the same way at all and that's probably why I do find it silly and you don't. You're right that it does seem shallow to me to be so turned off by one small aspect of a person's appearance. Nobody's perfect. To me the look of one's genitalia does not matter at all.

I'm not worried about what people think about my children's private parts. I hope that my children look for people who love them for who they are not what their labia or penis looks like. I also am not worried about what others might think or say to them in the locker room. Circumcision is no longer the norm so they'll be surrounded by plenty of others who are also intact. I'm not sure why you think that those who don't circumcise are worried. I know I'm not.

Who's personal choice is it? Your son's? Why not give him the choice when he's a man? It's not your baby's choice.

And again, yes, in areas with higher education, people tend to do it less. It's an old fashioned practice, outdated and barbaric.
I'm curious about the stats on that - anecdotally, I have not seen a correlation between parental education level and whether their sons are circumcised, though certainly the people I know aren't a representative sample of the nation.

Do you have a link?

I can't imagine that very many boys in a locker room would dare look at each other's private parts for fear of appearing like they "wanted something." But if they did happen to see an intact boy, I suspect they might be envious. After all, circumcising cuts away some prime skin there.

As for the bedroom, I think that a smart woman would appreciate the natural lubricant that a foreskin offers. And the turtleneck look, that goes away upon arousal, so what's the big deal?

Since the majority of boys are currently NOT circed, the intact boys in the locker room might be the ones saying "WTH?" about the boys who are cut. If they ever commented on one another's penises at all, which my guess is, they're not.

I know some men who wish they had been circumcised... I wonder how the majority of men feel about this?

I am curious about those who had their son's circed; how much of the foreskin was removed? Did they remove the inner and outer foreskin? If they left the inner foreskin, did they remove all the outer foreskin? Did they remove the frenulum, or leave that intact?
