      @DrLovlie Thanks for following, Dr. Is it because you support the #i2 campaign to let people decide for their own body (when able) whether to remain intact or get circumcised?

      I support conversation and debate. What I tell my parents is that there are benefits and risks with either decision and medically I am fine with either choice.

      Thanks for responding. Are you concerned your child-patient may later consider himself harmed by the partial loss of his sexual anatomy, and is this one of the risks you tell parents about? #i2

      Not on the list, sorry. Bleeding, infection, pain, risk for std’s later, looking like dad and brothers... I don’t think anything I say has ever actually influenced anyone’s decision, though.

      As one of many people who wish we had been allowed to make our own choice, I hope you'll consider adding it to the list. Unlike decades ago, boys/men are very likely to learn about the anatomy they are missing if circumcised. #i2

      Do you have any data on that? What percent of circumcised men wish they hadn’t been, and what percent on uncircumcised men wish they had been? I’ve never seen any.

      I don't know that anyone has studied it formally. @intactive has compiled some information here http://www.circumstitions.com/Resent.html  Here's a book of 50 case studies https://www.amazon.com/Unspeakable-Mutilations-Circumcised-Men-Speak-ebook/dp/B00L5FPF2C … #i2

      If you want docs to advise things you have to offer proof - we’re all a bunch of geeks. It would be an interesting study.

      This study found that 64% of men circumcised as neonates had a negative view of it. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/28894958  But given that it's irreversible - & there are valid, meritorious reasons why any man would object to it - why isn't the testimony of even 1 man who resents it enough?

          Replying to @cooney21 @DrLovlie @IntactByDefault

          This study treats "attitude towards one's status" as a single datum, when the two statuses are diametrically opposed. Thus if 49% are intact and ALL are happy about it, and of the 51% cut only 3% are happy about it, you can still say "a majority are happy about their status"!

          It does require careful reading. Shows only 5.5% of intact men view their status negatively. Of course, they can always check themselves out of that group and into the other. Circumcised men don't have that option, & must live w/the negative self-perception, no matter how strong.
