Are you circumcised

[nitemarehippiegirl]

Thanks for the clarification birdgirl, I just had this conversation with a friend who said the same thing. I apologize for my ignorance, I am finding religions very interesting as well, most of my focus is on the eastern world though, for know. I just hope my little guy will appreciate the decision I made when he's older. I am glad to hear that you had decided the same with your son,

any girl that would think make fun of a guys penis needs to get choked by it .
if they care that much they must be sluts or seen alot .

theres more there to love . theres no problem with it .

unless your a jewand its made to be done.

my freind came out in 10th grade and told everyone that i was going to hell cuz of it and well lol i girls keep coming .

somtimes they cant do that to a baby when its born .

the girls that shes talking about must dislike it becasue they have to use more brains to think of what to do . :smokin:

Yeah, I'm circumcised. Dont mean to sound homo but uncircumcised penises just seem funny (seen on porns), no offence to those that arent circumcised but
it's not like penis size, you can actually do something about that extra skin .

This is a foreskin restorer.

That's not a foreskin restorer. That's a Gomco bell, one of the tools that's used to protect the head of the penis during circumcision. A larger part of the Gomco apparatus (the rest of which isn't pictured) guides the doctor in that actual cutting of the foreskin.

It was looking at one of these Gomco devices at the hospital that helped make my mind up that, without a doubt, I didn't want to circumcize my baby boy.

It is a foreskin restoration device, called the 4Restore:

It looks similar, because it has a similar function, which is to stretch skin - but in this case the purpose is to cause new tissue to grow.

[birdgirl73]

Sheesh. They're identical!! My apologies for my confusion, then. Wonder if Gomco makes those, too? Well, I'd rather see it used as a restoration tool than a cutting aid. Any day.

But I confess that I find two things about this whole subject amazing. The first is why anyone would want to cut a baby's foreskin off. And the second is why any one would go through restoration. Are the men who do that experiencing sexual problems as a result of their earlier circumcisions? That seems to me an awful lot like a procedure someone might become convinced he needs when in truth there might be bigger issues at play. Just my theory, but the attempt to fix bigger psyche-related issues through medical procedures is a fairly common phenomenon.

[birdgirl73]

Oh, heck, I just read more on that site. They don't do surgical restoration. They just use that tool to stretch the skin. Which of course is what you told me.

Ignore my last post. I can completely understand why someone would do the stretching restoration without a doubt. Nothing to lose. Everything to gain. (Couldn't resist that old cliche there.) It's the folks who would go in and ask a surgeon to graft other skin on that I'd worry about.

[Synbios]

I think the guys who get skin grafts are usually the guys who are suffering physical problems as a result of their circumcisions, such as painful erections from having too much skin removed.
