For the men who arent circumcised?!


Question:

For the men who arent circumcised?

At what age should I teach my son to pull his foreskin back to clean himself? Docs tell u not to pull an infants foreskin back foreceablly as it could cause phimosis later. Doc said just clean what u can without forcing the skin apart. So does that mean I should teach my son the same? And P.S. dont tell me to get him circ'd I willnot do it, I just want to teach him to clean himself right.

Thanks ppl and "those were the days" TY very much, it's nice to hear from someone whos circ'd that isnt a hater. And that cleanliness cervical cancer thing is a study gone wrong look it up. As for STD's I will teach my son to use a condom, we should all do that anyway.


Answers:

What the doctor said is right. A young kids foreskin is attached to the head to prevent stuff like poo from going into the head. So if you notice that it starts sliding back when he's older, you can wash it (and he'll learn since it only takes like less than 10 seconds and feels good). You can then just remind him just as you will remind him to clean his arm pits, his butt, and so on.

And to those who said he'd get made fun of... I'm 18, have gone through all the junior and high school gyms, and have yet to be made fun of (I'm uncircumcised). You guys should understand that nowadays circumcision rates in some states are as low as 14%, so it may now be backwards in some states. He'll be fine; there's a lot of diversity nowadays. Plus, circumcision decreases sensitivity/pleasure and makes masturbation more difficult according to many studies (including new ones from this year).
