What 12 year old thinks that is a good idea?

I think it was up in the air as to (and excuse my crude terminology, as i can't remember the correct terms...) if the child will have the frenulum removed or just "sliced up".....
I think it's pretty much the consensus that the frenulum is the most sensitive part of the intact penis. I was myself wondering how would it affect the sensitivity frenelum if it had these cuts in it in this manner? And Past_VNE I think you just pretty much answered that question. The nerves WILL INDEED be damaged, and the sensitivity to this area WILL INDEED be affected.
And I agree.
I don't think this is a decision that the TWELVE YEAR OLD CHILD should make alone. It should not be left completely up to him.
I personally was wondering just how bad is the pain? Because from what I can tell, it only hurts him if he is trying to retract. Which, as Frank pointed out that retraction is not necessary. Being that he is 12 years old, he may not even know that it is not necessary to retract his foreskin to comfortably masturbate.
And I'm also wondering as another PP mentioned above, if what he is describing as "pain" is really just the normal natural intense sensitivity to this very sensitive area?
I think having the surgery right now is a big mistake. I also think that the whole puberty and growing process is being greatly rushed. But then that is just my own humble opinion.
