Male Circ vs. Female Ear Peircing - Page 3  

post #41 of 42
ot- my ear cartilage (and nose) piercings have healed completely, but my lobes' second holes i never use are still open. (navel is still open, but 16 not 14 gauge anymore, lol. i tested recently.) everything else has healed up, even the nipples i'd had for many many years (back when piercing was kinky, not trendy. i'm glad, as a bfing aquaintance did mention milk squirting out the holes!) given time, cartilage heals up fine.

btw, my dd asked for 'em at 2 and got 'em, didn't even cry. imagine a male toddler asking to be circ'd. i don't think so. any comparisons, imho, are stretching it. but no, i don't do infants. (and while i think 2 was an ok age of ear piercing consent, if my toddler sons went nuts and decided they wished to be circ'd, i'd have to say 'no'.)

ok, i broke my posting moratorium for this one, lol. i'm still officially on a break, so, carry on (and hey to all my old buds here, keep fighin' the good fight.)

ear piercing is a personal choice one can do or not.
It's entirely up to the family.
don't mean to pick on you, but this sounds like when people say "CIO: whatever works for the family" or "circumcision" whatever works for the family" I disagree. yes, I pierced my dd's ears, but I regret it (I forgave myself though) and I think it is the same concept as circ'ing, except less cruel and torture, but still going against child rights, IMO.
