For context, I’m circumcised and expecting a son and my wife and I are torn about the circ. We’re American so from a cultural standpoint circumcision is the default choice. Thing is, there’s no real benefit besides practicing a religion we don’t believe in, and I’m uncomfortable about cutting the tip of my son’s dick off.
On the other side, I’ve met a guy who was bullied in high school so bad for it he got a circ as an adult. Apparently crazy painful recovery. I’ve also talked to women who are generally grossed out by uncircumcised men. I don’t want to make him feel like something’s wrong with him his whole life because I was uncomfortable with the idea.
From a moral standpoint I’m against it, but from a social and cultural standpoint I feel like I should do it? It’s a crappy situation. If there’s any uncircumcised American men who want to talk about their penis I’m all ears.
Edit: I really appreciate everyone’s responses I never expected to hear from so many people. With the decision hinging on social and cultural norms it’s been really helpful to be able to take the temperature like this. I obviously need to talk to my wife, but given the overwhelming support of dick hats I don’t thing we’re going to do it. Thanks, lemmings!
im guessing makes it easier to clean of the "cheese’ too, ALLEGEDLY it can lead to the big C in rare cases, of course they arnt accounting for things like HPV.
The solution to “the big C” is to just give the HPV vaccine to everyone, not just girls. Which is what we’re already doing in Australia.
The “cheese” is a myth that just doesn’t happen though. Except maybe if you’re one of the grossest humans alive I guess? I’ve not showered for weeks at a time when I’m depressed and haven’t ever had that pawblem.
