Care for uncircumsized penis?

KittyPaws · 08-08-2008, 11:47 AM

Does anyone have a good source or handout to give to parents who are on the fence about circumsizion and just want information on how to take care of uncut baby boys?

Thank you

I like this one. A bit lengthy once you print it out, but it has pretty much everything you need to know about intact penii.

Thanks for those resources about uncircumcised boys! My DH really wants to circumcise and I wasn't going to pitch a fit, just guilt trip him, make him stand there while they do it, and care for it while it heals. (

) but this info is good without being abrasive. THANK YOU! I sent it to him to read.

Yep, that's what did it for my son's dad. At first, when I was just giving him info on circumcision itself, he just kind of blew it off because "he doesn't remember being circ'd". But then shortly after, I sat him down and made him read ONE webpage on nothing but the importance and function of the foreskin (and it wasn't even an "anti-circ" site, it was just info on foreskin itself and had nothing to do with circ). Immediately after looking at the page, he got up from his computer chair and said "yeah, you're right, we're not going to circ". Instead 180.

I had my DH watch one online. That was enough to make him question the procedure. At that point he was more open to reading up on circ.
