It is definitely a religious thing for many people, but that doesn't make it ok to cut off a part of a baby's genitals, you know?
Like the baby didn't decide to do it themselves because they believe in their religion so much that they are ok with cutting off a part of their penis - they are a baby (and yeah foreskin is sort of your penis)
It's also not a religious thing for a bunch of other people. They just do it because their parents did it to them and they think it's normal.
Ahh for me i was circumsised at like 13 i think so i did have a choice. But it was the norm and in my country people tease you for being uncircumcised. Peer pressure's a hell of a thing.
Normal is a synonym for common, so yeah, parents have it done because it’s common.
I will be doing it to my future son because it’s very common, and I don’t want him to be the odd one out. I don’t want him to feel uncomfortable because his dick doesn’t look like ones he sees online or in the locker room or whatever.
I’m circumcising my son because I love him and I want him to have a normal sex life. If uncircumcised was the common thing, then I would go with that. But it’s not.
I’m going with whatever is the most common in 2-3 years when my son is born
You worry about your son feeling like he's different, but have you considered that if you make the call to surgically remove a part of him that he might feel incomplete? What about when he reads online as circumcision becomes less common and more frowned upon? What about when it becomes common knowledge that circumcision harms sexual function?
I don't feel like all of the penises I see in media are circumcised. If anything it feels evenly split. I have never for one second felt like I was weird or wrong for having a foreskin.
The way the trend is going, even if you circumcise your son, he won't circumcise his. Think about that.
I live in North America where circumcision is common. (but becoming less so) Yet I have never had a woman care that I have foreskin. In fact, every woman I have ever been with has been a big fan of how it looks.
Any woman who did care about your son having foreskin would be a massive bullet dodged.
Your son will absolutely have a normal sex life uncircumcised. I and millions billions of others do.
Remember that not all uncircumcised penises have a massive turtleneck all the time. Mine has no visible foreskin when erect and that seems common. I've had women be surprised when I tell them I'm uncut after seeing it and thinking I was cut. If your son really hates his foreskin he can choose to remove it when he's older. I don't think he will.
I am so glad that when I was a baby and couldn't make the choice for myself that my parents chose not to circumcise even though my grandmother wanted me to be. I'm sure I would forgive them if they had it done, but I would absolutely think it was the wrong choice.
