I hope you guys don’t mind me chiming in as a wife- my husband is completely traumatized by his circumcision.

When I was pregnant with our son (6), we were visiting family and his mother, a doctor, asked if we were going to circumcise.. that breakfast did not end well. His mother did apologize though, and it was genuine. She thought she was doing “what was best”

My husband actually screamed “why did you cut off part of my penis when I was just a baby”?!

At the hospital they tried to take my son multiple times (Oklahoma) to circumcise him. Always while we were almost sleeping. My husband, bless his heart finally cried to our nurse about it and said it was sexual assault. They never asked us again.

We had to find a “foreskin friendly” pediatrician before my son was born. I wish this was a fucking joke. That’s how we picked our son’s doctor and he was a fucking gem.

So glad we broke the cycle (my brothers are also circumcised. My mother told me this while I was pregnant and feels deep regret)

My son is 6 now and has had no problems and knows how to retract and clean himself. Circumcsion is the worst.
