Male dopers; Are you circumsized?

Male dopers;

Are you circumsized? If so who old were you when it happened (infant, child, teen, adult)? Was it your choice? Why were you circumsized (religion, tradition, medical, etc)? Do you regret or resent your circumcision? Would you have your son circumsized? If so would you have it done while he was an infant or would you wait until he could make his own choice?

Saying no to the first question puts me out of the running to answer all the others. Nope.

Mostly.
Infant.
No.
cause it was the thing that was done.
not at all.
No plan for kids, but yes I would if it comes up.
infant.

Are you circumsized? yes
If so who old were you when it happened (infant, child, teen, adult)? 8 days
Was it your choice? At that age!?
Why were you circumsized (religion, tradition, medical, etc)? Tradition (Culturally & Ethnically Jewish)
Do you regret or resent your circumcision? No
Would you have your son circumsized? Did
If so would you have it done while he was an infant or would you wait until he could make his own choice? 8 days old…

Yup
infant
Just the way things were done
Not at all
I am largely indifferent but if my wife had a preference I would defer to her.
infant if I choose for him otherwise he can do it or not whenever he feels like it

Are you circumsized? Yes
If so who old were you when it happened (infant, child, teen, adult)? Infant
Was it your choice? Yes, my first words, mere seconds after delivery were, "please doctor, cut off my foreskin"
Why were you circumsized (religion, tradition, medical, etc)? Medical (at the time it was supposed to be healthier, as I understand it. My youngest brother isn’t circumsized incidentally)
Do you regret or resent your circumcision? I dont’ care one way or the other
Would you have your son circumsized? probably not
If so would you have it done while he was an infant or would you wait until he could make his own choice? doesn’t apply

Nope, so that takes care of all but the last two questions, where I say ‘what he said’ for Frosted Glass’s post.

Yes.
Infant.
N/A.
Medical.
In no way, shape or form.
Yes.
As an infant.

Yes.

About a day or two. (I’m 21 now).

Obviously not! :mad:

Tradition? It never occured to my parents not to have me circumsized. They don’t remember if the doctor even asked them (very scary). My father and both brothers are circumsized. I have two nephews; my sister’s kid is uncut, my brother’s is.

Yes. Ever since I learned what circumcision is I’ve been annoyed that my parents did it. I don’t hate my parents for it or anything like that, but I’ll never forgive them either. “So you look like your father” is not a valid reason. Æsthetically I prefer the look of an uncut penis to a cut one. They’re also slightly more fun to play with during oral sex. :wink:

No. Unless he had a medical condition that required it. If he wanted one he could wait until he’s 18 and pay for it himself. I’d react the same way if my daugther wanted breast implants. Ditto for tatoos.

Yes
Infant
No
Tradition
Not at all. Since that’s the way I’ve always been, it’s just part of who you are. Kinda of like my having brown hair is part of me.
I did
Only as an infant. I think it would be too traumatic to do to someone that could remember it. As for why (not that you asked) we did it because almost all boys in our area are. Not that that’s a very good reason but I do honestly believe that uncircumsized boys are made fun of after gym class although this is probably a regional anomaly.

I feel the exact opposite way. I prefer them cut.

Am I? Yes
Age it happened: Almost 26 years old (yes, it hurt)
My choice? Yes
Reason: Medical (Penis was too large relative to foreskin; one of them had to go)
Do I resent it? Not at all.
My son: He’s 3 and has NOT been circumcised; My wife wanted to have him cut, but I disagreed. He’ll be able to make his choice later.

Are you circumsized? ** No.**
If so who old were you when it happened (infant, child, teen, adult)? n/a
Was it your choice? n/a
Why were you circumsized (religion, tradition, medical, etc)? n/a
Do you regret or resent your circumcision? n/a
Would you have your son circumsized? Absolutely not
If so would you have it done while he was an infant or would you wait until he could make his own choice? n/a

My father, born at home in the 1920s when it was not routine, was circumcised in his 50s due to an infection (i.e. the circumcision was totally for medical reasons) and though it was done in a hospital with all anesthetic and follow up he said it was very painful. His doctor also told him not to have intercourse for- I don’t remember how long, but it was several weeks at least. He said he had much greater appreciation for the Book of Genesis, especially the avenging of Dinah’s rape, after the experience, and that even after the pain stopped the sensation was just extremely bizarre. Because of that I think “if twere done tis best were quickly done” to minimize discomfort.

I copied Rum Monkey’s QUOTE box above but the answers are mine. I forgot to put my name where his is.

REPEAT: WHERE YOU READ RUM MONKEY ABOVE, READ SAMPIRO INSTEAD.

And don’t do drugs.

I’m uncut, very happy about it, and I have an incredibly strong resentment to anyone who thinks it’s the right thing to do. (Medical reasons excluded, obviously.)

Ditto that.

Uncut and would not have my son circumcised.

Are you circumsized? Yes
If so how old were you when it happened? infant
Was it your choice? obviously not
Why were you circumsized (religion, tradition, medical, etc)? Something they just did routinely
Do you regret or resent your circumcision? no
Would you have your son circumsized? yes, we did, as an infant

Are you circumsized? Yes
If so how old were you when it happened? Infant
Was it your choice? Dad’s choice. Mom wanted to go with “No”, but dad stepped in and said that uncut kids get made fun of, so off it went.
Why were you circumsized (religion, tradition, medical, etc)? See above
**Do you regret or resent your circumcision? ** It’s been that way since I’ve been aware of it, so no.
**Would you have your son circumsized? ** Yes I would.

And so…it begins again. (Paging Jack Dean Tyler. Jack Dean Tyler, please pick up the white courtesy phone.)
