S/O Are you or you DH Circ?

[HIJKMommy]

Just out of curiousity is your DH circ'd? I see that most baby boys on this board are not circ'd so I was just wondering if the majority of DH's are/are not.

My DH is circ but his brother who is 18 months older is not. I am not sure I know how this happened.

[JustMoi]

My DH is... and so are all his brothers except the oldest, who was born at home.

All three of my sons are, but that was a LONG time ago... and if I had to do it all over, none of them would be.

[MrsKitty]

DH and his brother is. Our son is not. He wanted him circ at first but after showing him information he changed his mind.

[still_me]

My DH is. I actually don't know one guy in our family who isn't. Well, my nephew isn't, but that is because his pee hole (anyone know the correct term for that) is kinda under the end of his penis and he has to have reconstructive surgery in a month.

ETA: I didn't know everyone would be adding their sons in too. Both of our sons are too.

[Psyche]

DH is. DS1 is, DS2 is not.

[Suzzzz]

Dh is not. Neither are our boys

[Babyblue]

dh, every one in both sides of our family is. ds is as well. if we have another boy its going to be a huge fight not to circ.

[Justicedog]

Every guy in my family, to my knowledge, is circ. I haven't actually checked though.

[KatieLou]

DH is, and DS is.

[Now_serving_number4]

Yes to my DH and 2 sons

[Teresa64]

Dh is. Everyone on my side is...but didn't ask about his side...

[Teresa64]

Oh yes and both my boys are.

[Joyto5]

DH is not. Neither are any of our 3 boys. All 3 of my brothers are. None but 1 of Dh's 4 brothers are. DH's brother decided to have it done in his 20's and is looking into a way to revers it now that's he's almost 50.

[bfmomworries]

my hubby is not, and I don't think his brother is. Both of our fathers are. We decided if we were to have a boy, he would not be as well. We had a girl this go round, so it was moot this time:)

[AuLait]

DH and DS are both circd.

I didn't know this until recently (because it really doesn't come up) but my Dad and brother are not.

[PiccoloRose]

DH is and wishes he was not. His circ was botched and he has extensive scarring extending down the shaft of his penis, and when erect it pulls the skin up so that he has hair going up the shaft. He is vehemently against RIC.

[tifttu]

DH is, but wishes he wasn't. DS is not.

[Sputterduck]

No. I am not circed.

[married_bears]

Just out of curiousity is your DH circ'd? I see that most baby boys on this board are not circ'd so I was just wondering if the majority of DH's are/are not.

My DH is circ but his brother who is 18 months older is not. I am not sure I know how this happened.

Eww I don't know if my DH's brothers are circ and I don't know that I want to know. My DH's penis state really is mine and his business. I understand discussing not getting baby boy's cut, but I think discussing my DH's penis is just creepy. :D:o;) Does that say enough about how I'm not angry or accusatory just weirded out that we are discussion this topic.

[HammBugga]

DH is. DS1 is, DS2 is not.


Ditto.

[KerryS]

My husband is intact. His son is intact. My first son (different father) is circed, as is my ex-husband.

[leosmommy]

Dh and all his brothers are. I'm sure MIL will not be pleased when she learns we plan to not circ this one.

[Sadalsuud]

Dh is circ'd and isn't happy about it. They took off too much skin and has painful erections because it pulls the skin too much. This may be tmi, but when he gets erect, his skin pulls to the point where the skin with pubic hair gets pulled down about an inch down the shaft.

We don't plan on having circ's for any boys we may have.

[HammBugga]

I have an ex bf who had hair on his shaft. It wasn't until I came to this board and read it did I find out it was another common complication of circumcision.

[married_bears]

I so wish I could go anon for this this especially after my comments, but I own my words. Here is a site that shares about regrowth of foreskin.

http://www.circumstitions.com/Restore.html

[vulturemom]

Dh is, They did a very bad job and took of too much skin and now when he is erect he is bent, has hair on his shaft, and it is sometimes pretty painful.

I am glad that he is ok with his sons penis not being just like his.

[Sadalsuud]

Hamm, same here. After coming here, I've learned so much.

I also forgot to add that my dad is circ'd, also. He got badly infected and developed a second hole that the urine comes out of so he pees in 2 different directions. Another complication that I learned about from the sites I've read on here.

[Tiffers]

Nathan is not, my son is.

[BeachMama]

My dh is circ'd and so is his brother.

All 3 of my boys are intact. When we had our first dh wanted him circ'd, but somehow I won the battle and now he's one of the biggest intactivists I know! I love him.

[BeachMama]

Dh and all his brothers are. I'm sure MIL will not be pleased when she learns we plan to not circ this one.
I see you've joined the dark side! I remember talking to you when you were pregnant w/ Leo and you were pro-circ.

[BeachMama]

I don't think you can re-GROW foreskin, but you can stretch out the shaft skin to creat a new foreskin. A fauxskin?

[CatSoup]

My DH is. I actually don't know one guy in our family who isn't. Well, my nephew isn't, but that is because his pee hole (anyone know the correct term for that) is kinda under the end of his penis and he has to have reconstructive surgery in a month.


urethra :p

[HIJKMommy]

I was just wondering the difference between our husbands generation and our sons. It goes to show that the argument of I want him to look like his father is not a good argument.

[Rizzae2]

"S/O Are you or you DH Circ? "



i am not, stbdh is and his son is

[BeachMama]

Well, back in the day when circ became popular most of THEIR dads were intact. So, at one time that was not a valid argument (not that I think it is now, either, just saying).

I also don't know that I'd say 'most' of the boys from this board are intact. I think if you did an anonymous survey it would be closer to half. I think a lot don't want to say that their son is intact because it's such an unpopular/disliked choice here. I imagine most stay out of the circ debates.

[HIJKMommy]

When I stated, Are you (in the title) I was mostly refering to the husbands on the board.

[BeachMama]

My Are you was mostly refering to the husbands on the board.
Huh?

If that was directed towards me, I was referring to this:
I see that most baby boys on this board are not circ'd so I was just wondering if the majority of DH's are/are not.

I meant that that this may not be true.

[KatieLou]

I would really like not to cir my next son (if I am so blessed to have one) I fought this battle with DH over DS and lost. At the time I had little research to show him, just the words from you lovely ladies. It has not come up agian...yet.

[_Gypsy_]

Every man/boy in my side of the family and H's side of the family is circumcised.

My ds is NOT.

[3girls2luv]

DH is and I just now learned why he has hair on the shaft when it is erect. We don't have boys but if dd3 was a boy were going to battle over it cuz I did not want it done. My dad, bro, and nephews were not circ'd. XH was intact and we both agreed against it too but we had girls.

[JudyJudyJudy]

Dh is circ'd and is happy about it. Ds is circ'd and so far is happy about it. If I had another son, I would not agree for him to be circ'd. I talked dsd into NOT circ'ing her two sons.

[Tiffers]

I wasn't aware that hair on the shaft was because of circumcision. I've personally seen the same on an intact penis as well.

[JudyJudyJudy]

I wasn't aware that hair on the shaft was because of circumcision. I've personally seen the same on an intact penis as well.
I've only seen a circ'd penis, and there is no hair on the shaft.

[Rizzae2]

ive seen it on circd

[gavinsmama]

DH is, so is everyone we know. DS is not. My hubby was worried about the "why don't i look like you?" conversation, but ultimately the best decision for us was to get DS cir.

[Givebac]

My dh is and he's pissed about it. I'm sure it's a textbook circumcision for 1975, not really botched, no pain with erections that's he's ever complained about. But he's still upset about it.

[Earthmama]

STBX is circ'd. DS is not.

I have seen enough crooked, deformed & hairy shafts that when I learned those were botched circs - I realized how common complications were - there was no way I was going to put my son through that needlessly.

Both of my nephews are c'd like their fathers.

The argument of looking like dad's - kids notice the hair first - and I don't know any child who has ever been born looking like a sexually mature adult.

[BeachMama]

XH was intact and we both agreed against it too but we had girls.

Do you think this may be part of why your current dh is so resistent?

[KerryS]

I don't understand how circ could cause hair to grow on the shaft.

[BeachMama]

Kerry, it is my understanding that the hair moves up the shaft during an erection because there is not enough skin to cover the erection, so it starts pulling up from lower, down past the base of the penis. I guess having the foreskin there would give enough extra skin to stretch over the erection.

I've never actually seen it, though, so I don't know.

I don't think I've ever used the word erection so many times in one paragraph. LOL.

[JudyJudyJudy]

I don't, either, Kerry. I suspect that a lot of men who are circ'd are hairy regardless.

[BeachMama]

I've never been w/ an intact man, though, so I don't know that I fully understand the workings of the foreskin during an erection.

[LivingLoveandLogic]

IRT hair on the shaft during an erection, BeachMama has it pretty clear. It may also occur in an intact man, but is far more likely with a tight circ.

Dh is cut, and it is tight, so he curves ever so slightly. He wishes he wasn't. Ds is intact and we wouldn't have it any other way. IMO there is no good reason to circ. Even the religion card is thin imo. If dh were for circ this would've been a deal breaker for me, I would seriously walk before I let that be done to an infant in my care.

[BeachMama]

Me too, LLL. I would go to court if necessary.

[pawprint]

My DH and ds1 and circ'd, ds2 and any future sons will remain intact.

[Sadalsuud]

I don't understand how circ could cause hair to grow on the shaft.

With dh, he doesn't have hair growing on his penis, but when he gets erect, the that the skin that is normally not on his penis (where the pubic hair grows) gets pulled onto the shaft. Even at flaccid, there is a bit of pull and the skin that grows pubic hair extends just past the base of the penis.

[HammBugga]

The skin moving up the shaft makes sense. This Ex I have who had that problem also had a pretty severe curve.

[vulturemom]

With dh, he doesn't have hair growing on his penis, but when he gets erect, the that the skin that is normally not on his penis (where the pubic hair grows) gets pulled onto the shaft. Even at flaccid, there is a bit of pull and the skin that grows pubic hair extends just past the base of the penis.


Yep, this is how it is with DH also.

[lisanvenice]

Dh is, like his brother and my brother and ever male my age that I have ever seen. My ds' are not and only about half the kids we know are. Now we do know a higher than average number of Jewish and Moslem boys though so it might not be as representative a survey as in other parts of the country.

[lisanvenice]

Generally I am a fan of "cut" males for esthetic reasons. I recognized that this was not a good enough reaason to have it done to my boys but I just like the way they look when they are circumcise. Now if I had been confronted with a hairy shaft I might have reconsidered my aversion to the intact penises (or penii?)

[TuetonicWillow]

My dh is circ'ed. Our son is not.

I have been with both natural and cut men. I don't have a preference.

[PiccoloRose]

This is how my DH is as well.

[frannie]

Ds1 is and Ds2 and Dh are also.

When I had ds1 we decided to have him done so he would be like his dad. Well we later found out that xDh was NOT circumcised. He was so sure that he was but his mom said she did not have him done. He was very shocked and confused

[Nipple_nectar]

My DH is as is my DS and they have both reported being happy with it~ yes, I asked!LOL!

[HammBugga]

What? How could you think you are circumcised when you aren't?

[JudyJudyJudy]

What? How could you think you are circumcised when you aren't?
If you have no idea what either is supposed to look or be like, how would you know?

[Bellaelle]

Dh and ds both are circ'ed. Dh has no complaints and is happy about it. Ds seems fine.

[HammBugga]

If you have no idea what either is supposed to look or be like, how would you know?


Well for one thing, wouldn't you know what you were doing when you circumcised your son? I mean, you know they are going to cut off the foreskin so that the head of the penis is exposed. Plus, when the baby was born, before he was cut, wouldn't they think to themselves that the baby looked like Dad already? I just cannot see how someone could think they were circumcised when they weren't.

[frannie]

He really thought he was. They had a big argument over it. We asked the Dr and he said the skin could be trained to stay back after a while if its pushed back a lot (it was a very long time ago, i'm trying to remember what he said)

[JudyJudyJudy]

I can understand someone's not knowing. Not everyone understands what circumcision entails. As far as knowing the baby's penis already looks like the daddy's, I think baby penises and adult penises look very different anyway, so I can see why the parents wouldn't know.

[HammBugga]

Well yes they do look different I suppose. However, I still can't imagine not knowing you aren't circumcised.

Xdh was the only guy I had ever seen so I didnt know either way. I really did'nt know any thing about circumcision until we had to decide for our son. I have brothers but that wasnt something we talked about so i didnt know about it.

[frannie]

Well yes they do look different I suppose. However, I still can't imagine not knowing you aren't circumcised.

I guess the only way you would know if you did a lot of comparing to other guys. I guess he just didn't do that.

[JudyJudyJudy]

My nephew had never thought about his one way or the other. However, when he started having to shower with others in high school, they made fun of him and called him "Skin." Come to find out, he had been circumcised, but the doctor just had not taken off enough skin to be a full circumcision.

[SuperMeredith]

DH is circ'd, and while he's doesn't have any serious complications from it, he does, at times, wish he could know what it would be like to be intact. He's never been a huge proponent of the whole procedure, so there were no issues with leaving both our boys intact.

AFAIK, all of the men in our families are circ'd (brothers and fathers, at least).

[MrsKitty]

I don't really understand the looking alike argument. We want to raise our children to be unique individuals with their own tastes and interests. I certainly don't want a little mini me clone. Not that choosing to keep the penis like or not like dad ensures having a little clone or not but.. I just don't get wanting our children to look identicle to us. I have tattoos, I don't want my kids to get tattoos so they look just like me, or so they don't ask why they don't have them.

I don't get it because it's not like they are going to put their penises side by side and talk about the intricate details. If they are, well that is just creepy.

[HammBugga]

Oh and funnily enough Ds1 saw me changing Ds2 today and asked me "What's he got over the top of his pee pee Mama?" And I said "Nothing, just skin" and he said "How'd that skin get there?" and I replied "He was born that way. There's nothing wrong with it, we are all different". End of discussion.

[MrsKitty]

I mean..people don't think well I have a small penis so I should get my sons penis shortened so it looks like mine. I have freckles, my kid dosent, I should get their skin dyed. My hair is blond my kids hair is black I should bleach it.

[HammBugga]

No, they don't. Not to mention the fact that they are concerned about a part that very few people will ever see. And even fewer people will see a man's and his son's penis.
Edit/Delete Message

[Crabbie]

Dh is DSS and is not and neither is my grandson. If I had a son he would not be either.

[Bohemian]

Dh is and he was pro circ until I was pregnant with my second and researched it more. I presented him with the information I found and I was very anxious about it. I need not of worried, he was willing to educate himself as well and we ended up on the same page.

If we ever in the future have a boy we will not circ. :)

[CatSoup]

Good point. lol

[HIJKMommy]

Huh?

If that was directed towards me, I was referring to this:

I meant that that this may not be true.

This was not directed towards you at all. I was actually directing it to the women who were stating that they were not circumsized.

MB: as far as me knowing about my BIL it is because DH and I were talking about it when discussing whether to circ Isaac or not. I have never been with an intact man so my DH and I were discussing all aspects of it. I was told that my BIL was not circ'd because he was an NICU baby and they would ONLY do it after he was released from the hospital. My MIL decided to not have him circ'd. My DH was a full-term healthly baby who was circumsized at the hospital 1 day after birth. My MIL's choices not mine. This was also 35 + years ago.

[BeachMama]

I could see not knowing you were intact. Some men don't have a lot of foreskin.

[married_bears]

I did not mean anything unkind by it FYI. Just something I'd feel uncomfortable talking about except in the circumstances you discussed. I just could not imagine bringing up the topic up in normal conversation. Sorry if it came across offensive.

[Sunnie]

I've never been w/ an intact man, though, so I don't know that I fully understand the workings of the foreskin during an erection.


If this hasn't already been covered, the skin slides down the shaft and kind of acts like an "expansion joint." best way i know of describing it. ROFL

Huh. I kind of like intact better.

[MrsKitty]

Huh. I kind of like intact better.


Aesthetically.. whatever. I don't find intact or cut penis that attractive either way. Physically? Intact, definitely.

[Monkeytoes]

My DH is circ'd and all 3 of my boys are as well.

[maksmom]

My Dh is, this pregnancy is our 1st(and only!) boy and he will not be, DH is in complete agreement. If any of my DD's had been boys, we had planned not to circ them either. From what I am told, neither my dad nor my husband's dad are circ'd either. I'm waiting to see how MIL will react to ds being intact.....

[KerryS]

I've never been w/ an intact man, though, so I don't know that I fully understand the workings of the foreskin during an erection.

It retracts itself during an erection. I didn't even realize my husband was intact until, like, the 4th time we had sex. When it's erect, it looks a lot like a circed penis.

[KerryS]

My nephew had never thought about his one way or the other. However, when he started having to shower with others in high school, they made fun of him and called him "Skin." Come to find out, he had been circumcised, but the doctor just had not taken off enough skin to be a full circumcision.

I think my first son is like that. I seem to recall a small amount of tissue around the base of the head. If there was an appropriate way to ask a 10yo boy to see his penis, I'd ask just so I could see for sure. Alas, I guess I will just have to go by memory, or wait until he's an adult and ask his girlfriend. :)

[konursmom]

Dh is and Ds is not. I left it up to dh but when I showed him the research and presenting it while crying, he quickly said we would not and that was the end of the conversation.

[KerryS]

Hi Lori! How are you? How is it going over at Kellymom? I've been thinking of popping in there lately, just to see how everyone is doing.

[Sashahomeschoolmama]

I agree. I also think comparing an infant's penis to an adult's is...creepy.

AFAIK everyone in our families are circ'ed. I think dh mentioned once that his nephew is not (he was around during a diaper change or something) but I'm not sure.

I made it pretty clear that I wasn't interested in opinions on the matter so there hasn't been much discussion (in my presence--I'm sure there's plenty of discussion behind my back).

[Sashahomeschoolmama]

Me too, LLL. I would go to court if necessary.
Me too. I would absolutely divorce, cut family off, whatever over this issue. That and spanking.

[MoonBound]

Dh is. As are both sons.

I only have seen two intact penii in my life. A child at the day care I worked at years and years ago. He got an infection and grew what I can only describe as a tusk from the side (under the foreskin) they where talking about having to wait until it stopped growing and then removing it and most of his penis. The other was an x who laugh at me for quite a while when he realized we had been sleeping together for months and I didn't realize he was intact. I only looked when he was erect and usually without my glasses on. I felt like a complete idiot but without a frame of reference.... every other male I've seen is circ'd.

This little boy is why mine are circ'd - I don't know if I would do it again but it is not a choice I have to worry about because I made poor ones for my own body (tubal I am very unhappy about.) - um thinking about those two things in the same sentence leads me to think no. So count me in as a convert!

[Sunnie]

See, I didn't really look at the intact penis I have experience with either. But there was definitely more skin than a circ'ed penis. I could feel the difference.

[BeachMama]

If this hasn't already been covered, the skin slides down the shaft and kind of acts like an "expansion joint." best way i know of describing it. ROFL
That's kinda what I thought, so thanks for clarifying! Great description, btw.


Huh. I kind of like intact better.

I've only seen pics, but yeah, I like the look of intact better (shhh, don't tell dh).

[Sunnie]

:roflol

[Tweet]

Just out of curiousity is your DH circ'd? I see that most baby boys on this board are not circ'd so I was just wondering if the majority of DH's are/are not.

My DH is circ but his brother who is 18 months older is not. I am not sure I know how this happened.


My DH is. I don't know about his brother, but assume so. He's 5 years older than DH.

DH had no strong opinion on DS

[kohlby]

DH is circ
DS1 is circ due to a hypospadias, so not for the regular routine reasons.
DS2 will be born next month and will not be circ unless there's a nonroutine reason.

However, DH would prefer this baby was due to the whole "matching" arguement alone. It hasn't come up in conversation for the last two months though, so I figure I'm winning.

[JudyJudyJudy]

I think my first son is like that. I seem to recall a small amount of tissue around the base of the head.

"lol9"

[Carolina]

Dh is not.

[nycmama]

My DH isn't and neither are my 4 sons. Early on I learned about the purpose of the foreskin. Also why would I want to put my baby thru such a painful ordeal? And you can feel the difference between a circ'd one and a intact one.

[The_Market]

My DH is and DS1 is, but DS2 & DS3 are not.

Guess my husband is just secure about his penis or at least in acceptance or something.

[CatSoup]

Purely cosmetic, but I think the circ'ed ones look nicer. Cleaner and not worm-like. I still wouldn't have a son done though, since my personal preferences can't justify circ.


Don't tell DH but I think the un-circ'ed ones feel better. ;)

[CatSoup]

I have a fear at the back of my mind that some dumby will retract ds-to-be's foreskin.

[ChristmasTree]

Dh is circ'd and isn't happy about it. They took off too much skin and has painful erections because it pulls the skin too much. This may be tmi, but when he gets erect, his skin pulls to the point where the skin with pubic hair gets pulled down about an inch down the shaft.

We don't plan on having circ's for any boys we may have.

Can they fix that? ouch!

[HammBugga]

My DH is and DS1 is, but DS2 & DS3 are not.

Guess my husband is just secure about his penis or at least in acceptance or something.


Or maybe you're just scary. lol

[JudyJudyJudy]

Don't tell DH but I think the un-circ'ed ones feel better. ;)
Unless the sample is particularly large (and I'm saying that it's not; only you know that ;)), then I'm not sure the sample is large enough to know either way.

[CatSoup]

Unless the sample is particularly large (and I'm saying that it's not; only you know that ;)), then I'm not sure the sample is large enough to know either way.


I'm not being snarky at all, but...huh? Maybe I'm just tired but I didn't understand that. :(

[JudyJudyJudy]

Basically, when one is making a comparison to determine what's better, a small sample size of 4-5 or even 10 might not be good enough to really know. Basically, there could always be a circ'd penis out there that could feel better than any circ'd or intact ones that you've tried. Now, if your sample size is in the 100s, it might be accurate for you to say that intact feels better. :p

I so wish I could go anon for this this especially after my comments, but I own my words. Here is a site that shares about regrowth of foreskin.

Why would you want to go anon for that?


I don't really understand the looking alike argument. We want to raise our children to be unique individuals with their own tastes and interests. I certainly don't want a little mini me clone. Not that choosing to keep the penis like or not like dad ensures having a little clone or not but.. I just don't get wanting our children to look identicle to us. I have tattoos, I don't want my kids to get tattoos so they look just like me, or so they don't ask why they don't have them.
I found this article to be enlightening.

The Vulnerability of Men (http://www.stopcirc.com/vincent/vulnerability_of_men.html)

Ryan and Thomas both are. When Thomas was born almost 12 years ago, I had no idea that people chose to keep their baby boys intact. Had Gracie been a boy, we would not have circ'ed a 2nd time.

Yup, I have that article and I send it to moms.

I honestly like how circed penis's look better. however after doing reasearch long after we had ds, I am too scared to do it to another baby.

Basically, when one is making a comparison to determine what's better, a small sample size of 4-5 or even 10 might not be good enough to really know. Basically, there could always be a circ'd penis out there that could feel better than any circ'd or intact ones that you've tried. Now, if your sample size is in the 100s, it might be accurate for you to say that intact feels better. :p

:D I guess I needed more research, but it's too late now!
TMI I guess...DH is the only one who has ever given me an orgasm, but we can't go for as long as he'd like because of the friction. There wasn't as much with an un-circ'ed penis. DH is bigger too, so that probably increases friction as well.

Or maybe you're just scary. lol
BWAhahaha! Not to my dh, that's for sure. Sometimes I wish I were...

However, he brought it up with DS2. He'd been there for DS1's circ and NEVER wanted to be responsible for that being done to another baby again. In fact, the only way to convince that man of anything is for him to make his mind up himself ...or at least for him to think he has. ;)

LOL, Cat. You're better off than I am. I didn't do any research at all before dh, so I have no comparison. :p

[Sadalsuud]

Can they fix that? ouch!

I honestly don't think they can do anything about it. I don't even want to think of how they could "add" skin to ease it. Though, his isn't as bad as other's I've seen online when looking it up.

[Sunnie]

Don't tell DH but I think the un-circ'ed ones feel better. ;)


That's what I think too

You can re-stretch the foreskin w/ weights without 'adding' skin. I bet that would help, if he were willing to try it.

Google foreskin restoration and there is a wealth of information, although from what I've read there are no weights or adding skin involved. It's a gradually stretching thing, iirc.

My DH and boths DSs are not
