I was raised anti circ
Apparently, when my little brother was born in 1979 they still circ'd in
the hospitals, and my mom was going to circ my brother, simply because
she said it was the norm at the time, the Dr's told her it needed to be
done because it's cleaner etc. It wasn't until the mother beside her in
her hospital room had her son circ'd the day before my little brother
was going to be circ'd that my mom changed her mind. My mom said you
could hear the poor baby boy screaming in a way she said had never heard
a baby cry before and she thought no way in hell was she going to do
that to her baby. And that is what I always carried with me about
circ'ing and how horrible it is. So growing up, it was never a question,
I knew if I ever had children and boys, they would never be cut.
Oddly enough, my MIL is very very very pro circ'ing, but when my husband
was born they lived in such a tiny remote community that she wasn't able
to have him circ'd (thank god), but my husband was raised to believe
that he should have been and was quite embarrased growing up because he
said he was one of the few boys who wasn't cut.
So when we were pregnant with our first and before we knew it was a
girl, he said that if it was a boy we need to circ him. So explained to
him how a circ is done and told him that if he wanted to circ his son
then he had to get it done himself, the same way, strapped to the table
and his foreskin cut off. I knew for a fact he wasn't going to do that
Needless to say after he heard how it was done, he was horrified that
anyone would do that to their sons and he is very glad he's intact and
that is mom didn't have the opportunity to have him cut like that.
And for what it's worth, I've been with men who are circ'd and men who
aren't and I can say without a doubt, sex is better with an intact man,
much better. But that's just my opinion.

ITA with that, but why oh why is it so hard to get that part through to people? They (like my SIL for example who circ'd her son so he would look like daddy ) just doesn't get it when I pointed out she would never circ her daughter...
*sigh*
