When it comes to problems like that, why wouldn't you want to get your boy chopped!! Like I said before, I had my son done a week after he was born cause I had him over Christmas holidays and everyone was on vacation. The worst part of it was the anesthetic. He was totally fine after. Had some tylenol for him after the freezing wore off but I think he fussed for the first day and after five days the ring fell off and he was fine. I don't know how they do it in the states but in Canada they are very humane. Virtually no side effects and no worry of infection later on in life.
Very brave of you to do it later on in life. If only your parents had had the balls to take care of it when you were born, you wouldn't have gone through all that. You wouldn't even remember even having it done.
