Re: Just been circumcised

What makes no sense to me is to amputate a foreskin as a first course of action. In fact, in your opinion it should be amputated prophylactically at birth.

Since you brought up "womanly parts", would you seek less drastic treatment options than a hysterectomy if it were recommended to you? I sure would.

I would not amputate my toe if I got an infected nail. I would not chop off my nose if I got a deviated septum. In fact, right now I have a very annoying problem with my eye, but I'm definitely keeping them both.

Why are all the viable courses of treatment for tight foreskins ignored? And why on earth does it make for "ballsless parents" to not treat a problem that doesn't even exist?

Is it because YOU don't think foreskins are valuable that you can so flippantly spout about their removal? A bit arrogant, no?

Also, please get your facts straight about infections. Circ does not reduce the incidence of any serious infection, and dramatically INCREASES the risks of damaging ones. One example: Heard of MRSA? It has become frighteningly common that it finds an entry point in a circumcision.

Hey! Maybe that's why I'm without balls - I just can't bring myself to subject my son to flesh-eating microbes that have no known treatment. That must be it.
