MSI(or gov't healthcare) covers all medically necessary procedures. They WILL cover medically necessary circumcision with no question as well. That in itself raises the question as to whether it's necessary or not IMO. They don't cut services to save money...they lengthen wait times.
Uncircumcised?? What's the Big Deal??

JMHO but cleanliness is true.
I know it's TMI but seriously, smell is key here.
An uncircumsized man can recently shower and go to the bathroom and if they don't "shake it" enough, any additional beads or urine can retract with the skin and literally forment all day long.
It's worse smelling than a 2 week litter box!
If I had to do it all over again, I would circ my child.
Again TMI, but I think from a intercourse perspective, circ is better.- Flag

Agree 100%. And you can honestly teach children how to be hygenic but I can tell you that young boys do not take the time to clean themselves the way they should- Flag

I am for circumsicion... No it is not covered by insurance it costs 314. I am pregnant with a son and he WILL be circumsized. My dh is and im pretty sure he has not lost any sensation...In fact I have never seen an uncircumsized penis. Also I know a couple ppl that are not and they told me they wish they had been. They were made fun of in locker rooms, and by girls they were intimate with... It's my personal decision, just as breast feeding my son is also..- Flag

! What?!?!
My husbands uncirc'd penis does not smell like a 2 week old litter box.
I had a circ'd boyfriend whose penis always smelled bad...so there's an an antidotal story about circ'd peni being unhygienic.

However, unfortunately, I have to agree based on experience the one uncircumcised man I knew had a very smelly penis!!
It could very well just be a matter of person hygiene though!!
Who knows
One thing that's stood out to me since reading everyone's comments and opinions is when they say they were uncircumcised until medically necessary. Or choosing to opt not to circumsice UNTIL medically necessary. Does this mean that it's more likely that the boys will need it done at some point?? If that's the case and I had a boy I would choose to have it done as young as possible.- Flag

When my son was born i looked into it and decided against it. I did tons of research and this is what I found and was told.
At first, only Black soldiers back in the 1920s were singled out for circumcision, because they were believed to be unable to keep themselves clean. Eventually, this carried over to all soldiers, who were sometimes threatened with courtmarshal, if they refused to undergo the knife.
The operation gained popularity after World War II, when the soldiers returned home and started the Baby Boom generation. This is when doctors started performing them on every baby, with, or without his parents' permission.
I think it carries on from Father to son, because they want their sons to look and be like them.
In the end, I chose not to do it- Flag

That's what I'm seeing! A lot of debates! The people that are against it seem almost condescending in their views! They seems to be rallying with attachment parents and the breast feeders and the cloth diaperersall of which I could care less about! What everyone wants to worry about is their choice. I just can't help but feel a tad offended when this group of people talk down to people who use disposable diapers, formula and let their babies sleep in cribs and choose to circumsice.
My oldest son was not circumcised, my younger son is. I was a single mom with the first, and chose not to circ, AND I used cloth diapers. My second son's Dad (my hubby) preferred we circ him, as he is. I still wish I had fought it and not gone through with it. My oldest son is 21 and has never had an issues, my younger son hasn';t either, but IME there is no valid medical reason for circ., just a greater need for the parent to educate the child about proper hygeine.
Either way, I think it is purely a personal decision for the parent, and other people's opinions and ideals should be irrelevant.- Flag

Everyone makes their own decisions and make their own choices on whether or not to do this. I have 3 sons and they were all circumcised when born. Now their ages are 19, 11 and 6. They all had local anesthetic when it was done. They didnt even cry. I know some dr.'s don't use the local though which is so sad. To each their own. In my opinion I think they look so much better circumcised and easier to keep clean when young. Just my opinion.- Flag

What I see in this post is YOU being condescending of those who choose attachment parenting, breastfeeding and cloth diapering. I am just a tad offended by these remarks myself.

All that being said... Had I known more about cloth diapers when I was a new mom I would have considered it! Those things are pretty cool! I have a dcg in them and it's no trouble at all, then again I get to send them home every night to be washed, AND she hasn't started solids yet ::
But honestly... Sorry if I offended you. Not my intention- Flag

I don't think anyone's post were deleted.
I was simply telling MamaBear that Daycare already responded about where she heard the info she posted.
MamaBear said her own post was deleted, but I am not aware of that happening as I see two posts by her so maybe she just didn't see it and thought it was deleted..:confused:
I don't know, but as far as I know, nothing has been deleted.- Flag
