Sounds like someone's trying to blame a genetics issue on a botched circumcision.
Well, it looks like the thread has petered out...
Denial is the first sign.
"In this day and age, a girl needs to make it quite clear to guys what she will and will not do in a relationship. A guy should not waste a girl's time if he is going to dump her over sex."
I couldn't agree more. It's not fair for someone to waste anyone's time if he/she knows that they can't hang in there for the long haul.
But boy, have times changed since I was single. Or maybe it's just me.
To me, the physical appearance of various body parts, particularly those that are hidden during what used to be known as "courtship," really doesn't matter. You either love the person or you don't.
As a woman, I really find the whole issue of whether or not a potential mate is circumcised to be pointless. If I love someone and we get to that point, it doesn't matter.
Anyway, thanks for your reply. :)
"And, I don't care what anybody says about baby's not feeling it, that's got to hurt."
I agree, yes, of course it hurts. I'm sure some doctor Freeper will correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm guessing that baby boys are born with the same nerve endings that adult men have. So it probably hurts even more, cutting that particular part of the body.
"Why did they wait til he was 2.5 years old?"
That's the million dollar question. I think Dad just decided to assert his control once he got full custody.
Poor kid. On that, I think we can all agree.
yep
I had six children.
You took a sarcastic statement too literally, but I'll stick by my point.
So, what's the charge for something like that....?
As the circumcision of girls is illegal, boys should at least have a chance to wait until they are old enough to make an informed decision. And in almost all cases, that decision should be no, as the benefits seldom outweigh the risks.
Ordinarily I would agree as I'm in favor of father's rights, but in this case I feel it is superseded by the right of a male to choose whether to be circumcised or not.
