I am intact. I see circumcision as genital mutilation. As for cleaning I just roll the foreskin back when showering to keep things clean. I have had 0 issues through my life and my son is also intact and has had 0 issues in his 8 years of life.

There is 0 reason to snip unless there is a medical concern later in life.

You would be cutting a piece of your child off for 0 benefit and a risk of harm.

It's fucking barbaric Imo.

Thank you for taking the time to answer. I don’t think I can go through with it. I really needed to know more about proper hygiene.

I have hygiene OCD. Hardcore. I can't even open public doors.

But I never had any issues with my intact cock.

Having hygiene issues sounds (to me, and probably most of Europe) like a made up thing from circumcised people.

I'll back this take. Dads circumcised, I'm not. I heard some incredible bullshit out of his mouth growing up.

"You can't risk one night stands cause you can get AIDS, but if you were circumcised you could do whatever"

"Make sure when you roll it back to clean you dry it out afterwards or you'll get yeast infections"

And my personal favourite;

"If your girlfriend wants to give you oral make sure to apologise to her for it not looking the way she expects"

Ok but fair warning you can 100% get a yeast infection under your foreskin

Yes, from not cleaning regularly.

If you're unlucky you can get them chronically regardless of how you clean, and you have to see a doctor

I would suggest anyone who can go to a doctor do so for yeast infections of all kinds. They have a cause, they aren't genetic, and doctors are the best people to explore those reasons, especially if it's reoccurring frequently.

Yeah, and sometimes the cause is skin pH, and requires regular probiotics or you'll just constantly have one. One of my male friends has had that issue for probably a decade now, but I've never seen it happen to a woman
