Circumcised guys

A girl in my netball team recently mentioned that her new boyfriend wasn’t circumcised and seemed quite shocked about this, a few of the others seemed to agree with her. How many guys in Australia get circumcised? What do you think about it?

    I wouldn’t be shocked either way.
    It really depends on the guy, but uncircumcised men really do need to be more careful with washing and keeping everything clean.
    My boyfriend isn’t circumcised and it doesn’t bother me. If I ever have kids, circumcision isn’t an option for me, unless there is a medical reason that it should happen. If it isn’t supposed to be there, then we would’ve evolved around them. Plus I’d teach the kid how to keep clean!

    P75 what is this plastibell, I am not familiar with it, I have never considered getting it done nor has any doctor discussed it with me, I didn’t even realise it was an issue these days, can you give me a rundown please darl?

    My son is 23 years old and he was circumcised. When I had him, the debate about having it done wasn’t such a big issue then. My son was only 5 days old when he had it done and he slept right through it all. Me on the other hand, was so nervous and worrying about him the whole time. it was easy to look after at home and no problems whatsoever. I think if I was to have a baby at this time, (lucky I can’t though), I would still have it done.
    A lady I was in the hospital at the same time, decided not to get her son circumcised and when he was 5 years old, he had some problem and then had to be circumcised. It was all very painful for him to do it at that age but that was 23 years ago. These days, they do wonders and have made it much more simpler.
    I don’t see it as a barbaric thing that people think it is. For the people that don’t have it done, it’s their choice….we are all equal.
    I knew I had made the right choice when my son said to me…..Thank you mum.

    My partner is uncircumcised but he is also very hygenic so no problems 🙂 I remember a few years ago some of the guys in one of my classes were discussing it and from what they were saying it seems pretty evenly split.. 🙂

    it’s becoming the thing to do again apparently.
    i do have a son (2yrs) and he has been circumcised, at 8 weeks old. there was no pain involved at all as we had the plastibell done, not the slice and dice. if it was to be slice and dice i would never have done it but the new way is painless and can be done on boys up to 12 years old with only local anaesthetic cream.
    i think the last 5 years or so has been the biggest push against it but i think it’s a matter of choice. for me as a woman, uncirced = gag gag gag. i’ve been out with a guy that wasn’t and NEVER again for me.
    also for us, we would have been forced into it later on as bub gets eczema on his boy bits from teething and it has been quite infected, so thankgod we did it then.

    @tina – eww, really? That is disgusting. My fiancee is a germaphobe, he’s always very very clean so i’m not bothered with him being uncircumcised as he is very hygienic.

    Personally for me,if I did have a son, he would get circumcised. I prefer circumsized ones. I once had an ex boyfriend, who was uncircumcized,and only showered every second day.This was disgusting and I havent forgotten certain aspects of it.

    My partner is not circumcised and if I had a son he would not be circumcised. There was that faze 20 years ago, but really it is not necessary. And I wouldn’t want a baby going through all that pain!
    Some girls think its better that a guy is circumcised because it means he is cleaner and has lack of hygiene.
    Well, i can argue that !
