Well. I wasn't circumcised as a new born. You have to pull the foreskin back to clean it. One night I pull the foreskin back but didn't push it back over. I woke in the morning with swollen penis, I thought I was gonna lose my penis, I went to the ER . . .

They put me under and did surgery on my penis, they had to cut the foreskin off, essentially circumcising me. The smell and build-up on the head of my penis was horrid from not cleaning it, the whole hospital room reeked of it. It took over a week to remove it, I had to scrub it.

So circumcising my baby, yes, I'm doing it. I know doctors lie. I believe in natural birth and declining vaccinations but ... circumcision ... I'm doing that.

Please bear in mind that the condition you experienced is rare, and treatable in multiple less invasive ways. Circumcision is the last resort treatment and almost never justified even in cases such as this. Please at least give your child the chance to enjoy their whole body.

I don't care. I didn't want the foreskin anymore. Whatever you do to your babies is your business.

You didn't want yours, so you chose to get rid of that. I fully support your right to make that choice. Depriving your kid of the right to make their own choice is another thing altogether. It's like cutting off your daughter's breasts because you got breast cancer. :/

You exaggerated.

Am I exaggerating?
