I agree. Actually, that's kind of the point, isn't it?
There's something seriously wrong with someone that can watch a circumcision for the first time and not get a little sick.
It's a horrible, nauseating practice.
If this father watches this and vomits, it might mean he understands how sick it is.
Let'em puke, I say.

You know what? I took Bradley and am ROYALLY pissed that I almost circumcised our son because I wasn't shown the hard truth about the procedure. The only thing our teacher said is that it is the parents choice. No video, facts, nada. Thank goodness we were the only ones having a boy but I shuddered to think of all the little boys she could have saved. BTW, my teacher and her husband have a son and he is cut. Give them all the information you can. They need it. We were undecided but just needed the facts. Luckily, I found MDC befor my son was born. HE and I are so thankful for that! I can't imagine the guilt I would have. I am not trying to sound snarky, plz just give them the facts bc you have the power to save that baby from unnecessary pain. If they still want to do it, ask if they think it would be a good idea for their son to make his own decision and have full anestesia. Also, I would show your families how easy it is to care for an intact penis. Good Luck and keep us posted!
