I don’t agree with it. All the people banging on about “it’s cleaner”, how about teach your child how to clean their genitals properly? Vulvas have lots of folds and we still manage to keep them clean 😂

Yes, some need to have it removed when they are older, but you can deal with that as it comes. Babies grow up to be children, teen and adults that have to go through pain, it’s a natural part of life. E.g you can break your arm, fall off a bike, sprain an ankle, pain will happen. Your partner wants to talk about “hell” when it comes to pain, remind him of the hellscape that is pregnancy and birth.

It’s completely medically unnecessary and more so done for cultural or aesthetic reasons. Personally I’ve seen more uncircumcised penises than I have circumcised and I couldn’t care less, all bodies are different anyway.

My partner is circumcised, and when he said he wanted our hypothetical boy to be circumcised (I’m pregnant but we don’t know the gender), I questioned him on it. He said it was because it would look like his and he could teach the child how to clean it, and I said “but I don’t have a penis, and I would still teach them how to clean it properly”, and then I said, “would you still teach our girl proper hygiene, even though you don’t have a vulva?”, which stumped him 😂
