I take it she removed all his teeth then? How about his ears? Did he clean his ears out to her satisfaction?
"Dr Oz" clearly knows nothing at all about the intact penis, he comes from a muslim country where they cut off foreskins of young boys, without anaesthetic, and then have a party to celebrate. He was peddling dangerous misinformation, and I hope that anyone who gets injured as a result of his ridiculous advice sues Oprah for millions.
This hygiene thing is a load of BS, really, I can't imagine another nation on earth that is so obsessed with "hygiene" that it's willing to cut off body parts so they can't possibly need cleaning. WHY???

Uggh, what can I say to her when she brings it back up? |

When boys reach the age of 10 or 11, they go through a phase where they consider personal hygiene unnecessary.

It's almost impossible to get them to take a bath or shower! Brushing teeth? Changing clothes? "But Mom, I did it two days ago!"

You're lucky if they shower once a week!

:
When my sons were that age, I worried about their ears, teeth, and general body being clean, but their foreskins? Never!
Don't worry. When they reach puberty, they'll do a 180 degree turn and take a shower every day! Their foreskins, and the rest of their bodies, will be spotless!

I actually do think that this is true, BUT it is the difference in .1% and 1%, I think (don't quote me on those exact numbers), but it was something like that. So, really, it's not a big deal at all, IMO. Statistics can be made to sound significant when they're really not.

Those are the generally accepted numbers for UTIs in boys under 6 months of age. 0.1% for circ'd boys and 1% for intact boys. I say generally accepted b/c I am not very impressed by the way the data that those statistics came from was collected.

The only infection my intact dh has ever had was a yeast infection or two and they cleared up in a day or two because he used anti-fungal cream

: Not a big deal. Not nearly as big of a deal as preemptive surgery would have been. Treating a yeast infection in an intact man is WAY easier than treating one in a woman.
He just rinses under his foreskin with warm water every time he takes a shower. Not a big deal

Seriously dude, have you ever met a male, especially an adolescent, who keeps his hands off his penis

? Teeth I understand, but heck my guys are only 5 and 3 and their penis' are the part of their bodies that I never have to remind them to wash. I am quite confident that fascination will not go away as they age
