Neither my intact dh or my intact ex-bf (both in their mid-20s now) were ever teased because of their circumcision status. The circumcision rates are MUCH lower now than they were when either man was born so I would imagine that the...

Well... actually... they do check for labial adhesions on little girls and prescribe (or at least push) steroid cream and sometimes they even rip the adhesions forcefully apart... so little girls aren't necessarily safe at the doctor...

Huh, so, you had yourself circumcised because of bunch of women who probably had never been with an intact man "preferred" what they were used to? My ex-boyfriend was (is still, I assume) intact and has never been turned...

I don't see anything wrong with the initials B.O. - and he could always go by the nickname "Bo" if he felt like it. The only person I ever knew who was teased about initials in school (middle school mainly) had the initials...

I've heard of pro-circ doctors (particularly ones who think the kid should "match") who don't push it if the father is intact. At least they're consistent! Dh's intact so I don't think we'll be given many problems by...

My parents will have T-giving at their house and we will make it if the baby hasn't come yet or if the baby comes fairly early. They live closer to my midwife than I do so going into labor at their house wouldn't be a big deal! My mom's...
