My father never did, even though we were both uncircumcised. My mother took me in for a circumcision but the doctor said he wouldn’t do it.
My mother talked to me about being intact, but she got it all wrong and made me feel like the only uncircumcised boy in the world. I’m lucky I didn’t have any negative experiences or I might have gotten myself cut. This was long before the Internet.
What about you?
My brother was circumcised. We bathed together until about 6 years old. I was never told there was a differnce, or what circumcision was. When my cousin was born they nearly took off his penis when he was circumcised. I heard my mom and grandmother talking about it. I asked what circumcision was, they told me and I was appalled. Why would anyone want that done to any part of their body???
My mom told me my brother was and I was not. I still wonder why anyone would do that to their child.
I have a similar situation. My older brother is cut but I was orn at home so they never got ikt doneThank Gd!! I love having a foreskin and feeel sorry for cut guys. Hppily married
Nope. He wasnt cut but my older brother was . We never talked about it
No, being intact was regarded as being normal. Why should any father talk to their intact sons about being normal?
I would think it is necessary to talk to cut boys about why their parents thought it necessary to rob them of an important part of their anatomy.
I was intact, and so were my two younger brothers, and most of our friends. One of our friends did suffer from phimosis when he was about 12 years old, and the poor guy had to have a circumcision. We all pitied him immensely, and he himself suffered psychologially because he was “different” to the rest of his friends. When we were under the communcal shower at school after sports, he was the one who would hide his penis by turning his back on us.
Incedentally, I am NOT uncircumsised, just as I am not undead or whatever. I am intact, and proud of it.
my father wasn’t cut and neither was I, but my older brother, and my younger brother, (3 of us) were. He told me my older brother was done even though he told the doctor he didn’t want it done, but my younger brother, my mom and dad said, “huh, might as well”. Yet he still says he’s glad at least one of his children was left alone. I think my mom is still “anti-foreskin” though. what a bitch.
:00000015:
both my father and elder brother are cut. It was never spoken about to me as a kid and I was the only uncut boy around, I was even given the nickname ‘different’ when I started swimming. When I was about 15 I asked my Dad why I wasnt cut and he said that the didnt do it in the country area’s so much as the city…
I’m certainly glad they never did me, [/flash]I LOVE my skin…johnny 
I was left uncut because my father was also. I found that out when I was 19. However, as a kid no one talked to me about anything. I learned everything through self-discovery and the internet.
my father was uncut but we never talked about such things and I really wish he had, not because I don’t like mine or anything (just the opposite) but it would just have been nice to chat about the options.
Same here. my father was intact and so am i, it is different here in the uk, most guys are uncut, it is more normal here than in some countries.
i did not see a cut cock till i was about 8, and even then did not realise why he was different to me, i thought he had been born that way, being cut was not even discussed until much later on in my life when we started having sex education at about 12 or 13.

I think my whole family is cut, like most all Americans. I was born at home by accident and they just never got i done!! Thank God!!
But it was never discussed until I asked my grandmother one day when I was about 12 and she said she didn’t know why they never got me circumcised, but she didn’t seem to dssapprove of my NORMAL penis,

How many Americans escape the knife like you did, are uncut’s very rare over there or are they getting more common nowadays?
Mark
As we say in the south, “they are as rare as hen’s teeth”
Supposedly more are not getting cut but in metro areas of SE and Ne circ rate is at least 85 tp 90 %. I think the hispanics are bringing that number down some but good old American Moms want their son to look “just like Dad” so here comes the knife. In this country they try to find every exscuse to circumcise.
dale
It’s not that bad in the UK, but the first thing the doctors think of if there is a problem is where is the knife, they do not seem to keen on exploring the alternatives.
How many other countries have routine circumcision’s as they do in the states?
It is only done in the UK for medical reasons, although i am sure that most that are done are not needed.
Is it common where you live, would love to get a picture of where in the world they cot and where they leave us guys alone.

In the good old US of A there always has to be a financial incentive to get anything done - that is why they are cut happy - the quack makes a wad out of the cutting, and the hospital sells the foreskin to bio skin companies. Easy as that! And that’s the truth, too!
I am originally from South Africa, and the circ rate there is way down like in the UK. The cut guys were always in the minority in the shower after sports, and I just loved looking at all the different skins. Every day after school, a group of us kids would go into the bushes and jerk off together - it was such excitement, and I sorely miss those days.
My brother and father, and many other relatives are uncut, but there was no talking about it. Mom taugth us how to pull our skins back and wash the head, and that was that. Her sister’s boys were cut because they also had to ‘look like dad!’, and they always wished they weren’t. This ‘gotta look like dad’ thing has me beat, too - where do you see dads and kids all getting nekkid together and brandishing their cocks around? What a lame excuse!!
The blacks in SA cut way more than the whities. They have coming of age ceremonies intheir late teens, and they all line up to be cut by a tribal elder. It is amazing that any survive. They are hacked with blunt pocket knives, pieces of glass, the piece metal you are left with when you open a can of something - it is truly amazing! And then the wound is covered with fresh cow crap, or ash from a fire. Even with AIDS so rampant in Africa, they still don’t even wipe the blood from the cutting tool before cutting the next guy in line. Every year in cutting season you read in the news how they die like flies…
Different strokes for different folks, I guess…
Bestest!

I think you are totally wrong in stating that the financial gain is the reason for the high circ rate here in the USA and believe me if the were using the foreskins without the parents permission there would be more lawsuits than you can imagine. Remeber this is a very litigious country. Other than that I think your post to be interesting.
Here people think a normal cock is a circumcised cock because that is all they know!!
Dale
Dale,
I have read many articles on what happens to the foreskins after they are removed from babies in the hospitals. What I said above about them being sold by hospitals is not a fable - it is true. America is a ‘sue you’ happy place, but you need to remember that the parents are happy to have their sons cut, and don’t even contemplate what happens to the skin after it is cut off.
Do a little research and you will see. This will start you off…

I thin k you are totally out to lunch on this one dude!!

re your question of where circumcision is widespread - the following areas apply - the Phillipines are more than 90%,most islamic and arab countries,Israel and USA of course, and quite a few african tribes like the Xhosa where they have ritual circumcisions at about 12 yrs of age and many die or are badly mutilated each year by botched cuts. Many of the old British colonies used to do it routinely but this has become rarer. I’m in South Africa where the Afrikaans seldom do it but its still fairly common amongst the English speakers. Lived in Ireland for a while and there doctors wont do it without a court order and a Nigerian couple were charged cos of a botched circ. China and a lot of india(non muslims) are left intact so thats why most of the world’s boys are intact.
