4 yr. old intact son- no problems! His foreskin is fully retractable and has been for a year or so.
1 yr. old intact demon child- no problems related to the foreskin, although we did take him to urgent care for a diaper rash (which went away on its own, still no idea what caused it although we left the urgent care with a handful of prescriptions) and had the dr. there say his foreskin was "weird" and he'd never seen anything like it. : It does seem a lot tighter than my oldest son's was, but he has no problems peeing or having a good time playing with it.

I don't have kids yet, but being European, I've never even met a circumcised man that I know of. 5yo cousin- no probs. Two half-brothers, ages 12 and 14 - no probs. My dad - no probs. Uncles, ages 25 and 41 - no probs. Ex-bfs, ages ranging from 15 to 25 - no probs. My fiancee, age 30 - no probs. Best friend, age 21 - no probs. In fact, I don't know anyone who's had any trouble with the foreskin.

I find it surprising that the human race has survived if it really is true that most uncircumcised men 1) are undesirable to women, 2) get diseases that make their penises turn black and fall off and 3) get ostracised by men who haven't had perfectly normal parts of their bodies hacked off. Also it is strange how the first I ever heard of these problems was on a pro-circ website, at the age of 21. You'd think that with the amount of penises I've seen, I would have encountered at least one of these problems

what an awesome thread this is! How are we in the US expected to hold onto our foreskin phobia when so many people come forward like this???

I have never met anyone have trouble with their penis. Ds is 2 and no problems. We meet reguarly with 10 other moms with sons and no problems there either. I have 3 brothers and 15 male cousins and none of them has ever had a problem. None of my boyfriends or DH has ever had a probllem either

I would imagine you would have more problems if you chop bits of it off actually! It would be all red and exposed then. I only ever saw one circumcised penis (jewish boy at mother and toddler) and it looked awful. Uugh, chop it up....then you may have a problem.

nearly 6 yo--no problems
just turned 4 yo--totally fine except last month had a little yeast infection. The doctor sent me to get vaginal yeast cream, and to wash it and put a little bit on there 3x a day. It was gone in about 3 days.

yay for all these intact boys!

My dh has never had any problems with his foreskin and, to my knowledge, neither has my ex-bf (I'm almost sure he would still be intact because he was happy to be whole when I was dating him...). Ex-bf is 24 and dh is 23.

love and peace.

DS (9 months) is intact without any problems!

One of my nephews is circ'd and they took FAR too much skin off and he has very painful erections already. Not sure about recently as he's 8 now, so obviously I don't see that part of him anymore. But when he was tiny and I'd change his diapers or give him a bath, he's scream if he had one.

1 BIL (out of a lot) intact and lots of problems due to forcible retraction at the age of 2 - lots of infections.
