Smashing your penis in the toilet

[kriket]

There was a thread here a week or so ago talking about the possible "danger" of remaining intact and thus requiring a circ. One situation described was smashing your penis in the toilet seat. I read this and having NO experience with a penis and a toilet (mine or otherwise) I set off to find the answer.

First, I asked DH if in his 23 years, his penis had ever gotten smashed in the toilet. He was in the garage doing something and he just looked up and said "you're joking right?" I explained why I was asking and he said "If our son can't keep his penis from getting smashed in the toilet, hes more accident prone then you and we should just lock him in a padded room!"

So then I emailed a friend of the family who has raised 3 intact sons. She told me that by themselves she has never had any of her sons smash a penis in the toilet, but when you get them naked and in groups, they are prone to crushing each others man bits! She also told me that little boys do like to try and lay their penis on the bowl, but it's not generally regarded as good hygiene so you have to tell them to hold it. She assured me that a man will protect his penis at all costs from a falling lid.

So all of you can rest easy too, the risk of penicide by toilet is low. I am satisfied now that I'm not going to have to put the toilet on my household hazards list!

ROFLMAO - DS caught his with the lid when he was around 5 and had a nasty purple bruise on it for about a week. It was awful - but then again he IS accident prone!

LOL!!! Omg I am dieing laughing over here. This sounds like something my husband would say. LOL

My uncle did it. He demanded a band-aid for it.

It is rediculous as a reason to circ. But it happened to my little brother. He was 2 or 3 so he was just the right height. It did enough damage that he bled and it was swolled. When he was 6 and still not retracting the docs told my Mom that he needed to be circed because he should be retracting and the fact that he wasn't was because of the damage done. My belief is that it was a lack of knowlage and not the toilet seat that caused my brother to be circed, since not all boys are retractable at that age. There was no infection problem and no reason that they couldn't have waited until he was old enough to have a say.

I may be really naive - but what does circ have to do with getting one's penis smashed by the toilet seat? I mean, I know you guys are going to say it doesn't - but in one's WILDEST IMAGINATION, what is the relation?

[broodymama]

DS once got his penis squished by the toilet seat a year or so ago when he was using the taler toilet in my bathroom. It was a minor incident, just emotionally traumatic, and my first thought was "I hope this doesn't set back potty training!". Nothing about circ ever crossed my mind with it.

Well, maybe a circ'ed penis is shorter so less risk of getting caught?

Nope, it's a ridiculous reason all around to get circ'd - DS is and he still smashed it!

Lol, I am laughing so hard right now over this topic. Just watch, one of my kids is going to smash his (intact) penis in the toilet now...

[ece602]

That's hilarious!! Where would you come up with that as a reason to circ???

Well it can cause a cut and bleeding and possibly swelling so bad peeing would be difficult. The damage I think would heal but say a mom/dad panics takes LO to the ER because it is swollen and bleeding my guess would be they would want to circ just because they can can. Instead of putting ice on it and helping it to heal.

That dosnt make it a valid reason to circ of course but I can honestly see it happening.

Good point, good point.

Indeed . Like for example my lil guy has bonked his head so many times most doctors would say hey send him in because he hurt his head .

But to me if he's acting normal which is a few cries of the bonked head then off he goes or if we are at home he goes i want a boo vay his nickname for bbs and wanting to nurse.

I should have did the 'wait and see on brendan's blow out issues but he was screaming/crying in pain and his tummy was hard as a rock. So I thought it was neccessary even though I knew in the morning he ate raw cookie dough even though I told him don't do that it will make you sick.
He went through unneeded xray's and uneeded blood work just because it scared me and they also wanted to add a catheter to it but I said no because it was my boy butt doing the issue nothing with the pee .

He was better by nite time with just 2 doses of lil tummies -nauseau relief before docs and the 2nd dose after we got home that his blow out decreased.

All better and I go it was the cookie dough more likely but the doctor couldn't even figure it out .

I can see it being possible to cause enough damage to cause problems in the future. It would be the 1/million type of accident.

[MCatLvrMom2A&X]

I would imagine the problem in the future if it did happen would be in the one area and not the whole foreskin. Like an true adhesion and to fix that all you would need would be a shot of lidocain and an cutting to release that one spot. No need to remove the whole thing for one or even 2 spots.

Theoretically, if the accident happen, it might cuase enough damage to necesitate a circ; therefore get getting him circ'd as a baby will prevent the later toilet seat accident circ.

My take on that is: that an already circ'd penis, that endures the same trauma that necesitates a circ of an intact penis, will most likely suffer severe damage to the glans possibly causing permanent disfunction or even loosing the glans; since there is no foreskin to serve its normal function of protecting the glans.

this was exactly the original discussion (sadly enough) That if you leave them intact eventually SOMETHING will damage them and you will be forced into a circ. I think that men have a pretty good 'penis self-preservation' reflex, and the 1 in a million chance that you will damage your penis is no reason to get circed as an infant. Then you will just damage your circed penis and then what will they cut off?
