My worry came when ds got a bacterial infection and he needed to go to the Dr. I was worried how the Dr would react because in the past they had tried to retract him so I knew they where pretty foreskin ignorent. So I solved it by telling the Dr I thought there was an infection and explaning that he/the dr/ wasnt allowed to even touch ds's penis he said ok put his hands behind his back and I raised ds's penis up so he could see top and bottom. Dr.

I dont worry about ds ever having problems because I know how to fix them if they happen.

Ouch.

I pointed out to her that their fingers, toes, hands and feet also rotted off - we should remove those too so we don't have that problem

She agrees with me, though, and says that if she wasn't so ignorant when she was younger then she would have never even dreamed of circ for them. The doctors just told her it's cleaner. :

I have to agree with tennis here. The idea that intact men would get gangrene because they had not bathed regularly is a total myth. Humans evolved to living in situations where they would live in a natural area. Thats like saying a woman who did not clean the side of her vagina would get gangrene.

I too was like this before my boy came to the world. Now I am so happy to know that he is SO MUCH easier than handling my 2 girls. In every poopy explosion it was SO DARN HARD to get the poop out of their parts, sooo difficult!!! Intact Boys are wayyyy easier than girls that's for sure!!
