Do you know intact little boys? - Page 4

[IndigoRayne]

My nephew who is one.

[mama_at_home]

Yep, tons-and they are all in my natural parenting group, with several MDC mamas.

[springbabes]

My brother's son and my sister's son are both intact . I have no idea about my DS's playmates. I'm assuming that since the circ rate in Utah is so high that most of his friends are circed.

None of the baby boys I know are circ'd here. I have changed a few diapers on friend's babies and have yet to see a circ'd penis. I did see one at a LLL meeting, and almost cried when I saw how it looked. I had forgotten what a circ'd penis actually looks like, and it was just horrible.

[Arduinna]

Sadly I don't, but if my BFF had had sons I know they would be intact since her dh is and they are both pro-intact.

[Mandynee22]

Thanks for the Germany info! It gives me hope that he's not circed.

A Minority in the Family, majority in my Community

My DS is whole, perfect and beautiful. Until I had him, I'd never seen an uncirced penis! Anyway- out of 8 grandkids on hubby's side and 3g'kids on the other- mine is the only one who is intact. No one has challlenged me about it- which I am surprised about- and they've all seen him nakeybutt. The LLL I go to most boys are intact.
My sweet baby is beauiful just the way he is!

[Nathan1097]

Yeah. My two boys, my sister's twin boys, my cousins each have a boy and they are both intact. I have friends with intact boys. I'm near Ann Arbor, though, so it is fairly common here. (Compared to the rest of MI!)

[rmzbm]

I only know 1 uncirced little guy.

[tallulahma]

all the boys in my family are circ'd.

but out of my friends, I believe that 6 out of 7 boys are INTACT!

[sophiekat]

just one but if i have boys they'll be whole!

[That Is Nice]

Oh, yes, for sure!

Most of the little boys in our circle of friends and family are not circumsized.

There are some who are circumsized and I'm always a little surprised by that (and a little sad).

But, the trend seems to be changing, at least anecdotally from what I've seen.

[niki_73]

Most of the boys I know are intact and the men that I have know are about 75% intact : In BC (i don't know about the rest of Canada) it is not covered by insurance unless medically necessary so most parent don't do it.

At a nursing drop in one day though I did see a freshly done one while a new mama was changing her son's diaper and all the other mamas acted very shocked and the poor mama responded that her DH wanted it done. I was very sad for her as she seemed not to have the same opinon as her DH.

[kblackstone444]

I've worked in several daycares in the last 15 years. I've only seen 4. I've worked in MA and NY.

We are in Montreal. My son's hockey team are all intact (11 year olds), his class (except two boys for religious reasons) but circumcision is unheard of in the french community. This summer at the wading pool all baby boys, toddlers were intact, I even met a jewish mama that refused to circ her twin boys.

Good for her!

[NamastePlatypus]

well in this hell hole of iggnorace, AR the only lucky boys that are intact other than my ds are my gals at LLL. My dh's lil bro( second marriage, he is 4, is intact) and my bro( 25 we lived in CA) and my two cousins in ATL( mom is a midwife) are all intact. I had a VERY mainstream friend in atl with three boys all intact and she is an intactivist like me. and llahma luv I think I just piddled myslef!!!!!

[~MoonGypsy~]

Both of my brother's are.

I haven't been around enough other little boys to know one way or another, besides the kids we've met from MDC.

[Anastasiya]

My two sons.

My godson (mainstream parents).

A friend's son (borderline mainstream/crunchy parents).

Another friend's son (crunchy folks).

And another friend's son (mainstream folks).

My nephew is circumcised as are the boys of our other mainstream friends, who had no clue people DIDN'T circumcise. The nephews on DH's side are all circumcised (three of them) though their father is happily intact. Go figure. :
