The foreskin is easily retracted to clean the penis thoroughly. What is interesting is that Circumcision was started as a purely religious requirement and made it into the mainstream of American culture. It is mutilation of the penis, pure and simple. The foreskin serves the purpose of protecting the tip of the penis and preserving the sensitivity. How would us girls feel if they removed the hood over our clitoris? It is the same thing. Why don't people see what they are really doing to their baby boys?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881987311260852141.post-8168690475359499742011-03-29T07:15:55.822-05:002011-03-29T07:15:55.822-05:00Well, the anesthesia wasn't used routinely unt...Well, the anesthesia wasn't used routinely until 2009. So, loads of kids up until then were just strapped and cut. My son is circumcised and my next will be too according to my fiancé, lol...But, I want to encourage people to at least research and decide, not just blindly get one for no reason at all. I really just wanted to get people to at least look into it before doing it. I do realize after the initial shock, most kids don't even have issues with it. And I realize the botox girl is being fed crap 24/7and that is far worse...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271883471017132811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881987311260852141.post-32445426731627355082011-03-29T00:09:23.652-05:002011-03-29T00:09:23.652-05:00I watched a couple of the other videos and it seem...I watched a couple of the other videos and it seems depending on how and how much anesthesia is administered. I had my son circumcised but for hygiene reason and not for cosmetic reasons. That was actually painful to watch hearing the babies scream except for in one of them where the surgeon seemed to have numbed the area pretty well. If it was purely for cosmetic reasons or even knew that the procedure would have been traumatizing I would not have don it. But I do not regret it being done for the reasons I did it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881987311260852141.post-10401719186359619042011-03-27T20:52:47.145-05:002011-03-27T20:52:47.145-05:00I agree with you both.

I don't think that chopping the foreskin off a perfect newborn for purely cosmetic reasons to be a good thing at all. <br /><br />I also think that the poor girl IS being abused. <br /><br />I just wanted to raise awareness of how bad circumcision is. Using the botox reference with a tongue in cheek/facetious undertone was just my way of bringing that attention to the topic.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271883471017132811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881987311260852141.post-10368080302481458532011-03-27T20:18:31.222-05:002011-03-27T20:18:31.222-05:00i generally like your blog, but this is ridiculous...i generally like your blog, but this is ridiculousAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5881987311260852141.post-82707247632454952852011-03-27T19:37:11.625-05:002011-03-27T19:37:11.625-05:00While I agree with your point that *physically* th...While I agree with your point that *physically* there is far less trauma from the botox injections, what is being done emotionally and mentally to that little girl every single day is a bit more than what the average, well-meaning, if ill-informed parent who chooses to circ their baby does.<br /><br />I imagine the horror, pain and shock in the physicality of the circ being done on the other child's psyche-- repeatedly and over the course of days, weeks, months, years-- and cannot say that one is less damaging than the other.diamondt75https://www.blogger.com/profile/16580357966358642765noreply@blogger.com
