Intact and no problems - Page 4

Dh is intact, 4 yr old and 2 yr old ds's intact, and no problems at all.

Have numerous nephews & friends' ds's intact, and have never heard of any problems.

I work in medical malpractice and have only ever seen cases with circumcized penises (including death, sadly).

Jacob is almost 5 and hasn't had ANY problems with being intact, other than teaching him that not everyone wants to see his penis, lol

*fine print: Except for the stupid medical folks (a ped and 2 nurses) who have either retracted him before I could stop it (once), or tried to (I got faster)... but there have been no apparent issues to his penis, other than the pain and sense of violation he and I both felt.
hugs mama, that sucks!

no problems here, even after our now ex-doc retracted.
And I recently heard Grandma say "I was married for 45 years to an uncircumcised man, and it was WONDERFUL!" Go grandma!

4.5 year son. No problems. Just a little bad advice that we stopped following as soon as ds reacted negatively to it!

This should be a sticky thread I would have been very happy to have seen it when I was researching circumcision.

Oh, and my son's only 3 months old, but it's been 3 problem free months.

Okay how about this...

DS 4.5 no problems ever
Dear Nephew 20 no problems ever
Dear Brother 41 no problems ever
Dear Dad 71 no problems ever

....not sure about the status of my 97 year old grandfather though I am pretty sure he is uncirced (but I ain't asking him LOL)...but I am fairly certain he hasn't ever had problems either

12 years old and absolutely no problems!

When we decided to leave him intact, it was not as common as it is now--even living in a place like San Francisco, all of my other mama-granola friends were circumcising their boys. Now I really wonder if they would just leave them be? Things have changed a lot since then, but I remember believing in this issue so much when he was born. We got a lot of guff from relatives--but guess what? No one mentions it now Not the sort of thing you bring up over a nice Christmas dinner. I am lucky that my husband was totally on the same page as me (as he has been for 17 years--we make a great team!) because his support meant a great deal.
