A woman, somewhere in internet-land just confessed that she circumcised her son because the very site of an intact penis makes her :Puke . (Yes, she used a puke smiley.)
She said she doesn't think she could ever marry an intact man, and that she's thankful her husband is circumcised.
For whatever reason, she waited 6 months to circumcise her son, could not only not stand looking at his penis when she changed his diapers but described herself as "stressed and depressed". She couldn't wait for the day of his surgery so he could get it done.
My thoughts:
The power of cultural conditioning never fails to amaze me.
How is it that someone could really, truly be so disgusted by the genitals of an entire gender, simply because they weren't surgically modified?
Everyone's entitled to their fetishes I suppose; some guys are only turned on by women with breast implants, for instance. It does disturb me though that a parent might actually be brought to vomiting simply at the sight of their own child's healthy, whole penis.
I can't imagine not accepting and loving every part of my son just way he came. It's hard for me to fathom personal sexual preferrences compelling parents to demand clamps and scapels be applied to their children's genitals and healthy, standard, functional bits removed.
Her description of stress and depression at the sight of herr son's intact penis during the few short months she had to wait on his surgery goes to show just how deeply rooted such a culturally-conditioned aversion can be; posts like her's make my heart hurt.
