Hey Zoyd!

You have any of your own children? Ever seen a baby boy get circumsised? It's no big deal. The people I see get their shorts in a knot over male circumcision are folks who don't have sons. And, I've never met a man who is circumcisied who will say that he does not achieve orgasm because of it. But a woman with her clit cut off? That's a different story entirely.

Is that why many pediatricians won't perform circumsicions, and leave it to GYN's? Yeah, I thought so.

I never equated the two. Maybe you need to re-read the thread.

Well, not exactly. I don't get my knickers in a twist, but I do generally think that circumcision is VERY optional and certainly not necessary AND I DO have a son! I'll give it right back at you. What I find is that people who don't consider leaving thier sons intact and even argue vehemently FOR circumcision usually don't know anyone who was left intact so they have no point of reference for something different than what they already know OR, like an earlier poster whose wife was a nurse, they see the worst of intact men--the ones who don't care for thier penis properly and think that's the way it is for all the uncircumcised.
