When do you tell your son he was circumcised?

As soon as he can understand. As proud dad of a beautiful young boy, as soon as I realize that he'd understand this I will tell him, given that I will say it in a rather scientific way.

Sooner or later he's going to wonder why he's different from the boys who were cut, so how will you address the issue then?

 

Tell him those boy's parents thought it'd be easier to clean, kinda like paper plates, lol.

san pedro tastes great.
friend, hurry.
weed, now.
girl, soon.

im sure my thoughts will be changing soon


EDIT: wrong thread, sorry guys

 

That's cool. I didn't get that in your last post. How old was your son when you confrontted this issue with him?

 

I don't understand why it's an issue. I suppose I had the benefit of having a brother who was uncut while I am circumcised. But I've always been satisfied with being cut. I would imagine that upon learning about circumcision, most people realize if they were - but if you were satisfied with your penis beforehand there is no reason for that to change.

 

Well I am 18 (Male) and my parents never told me. (Nor about masturbation, in which I am very glad they didn't)

The only thing I taught was at 6, a man had a penis and a woman had a vagina (actually a vulva to be more accurate)

I doubt you need to tell him anything, we will learn through the internet. I learned that I was about a year or 2 after I first masturbated. It is not big deal, so I doubt it even needs to be talked about.

 

I have to wonder if either of the last two posters bothered to read the issue I brought up about this in my original post.

 

I believe Sex Education in schools is far more detailed than it was in my day, so I imagine the difference between Circumcised & Uncircumcised penises must be covered, if only briefly.

I recall lessons comprising of only the most very basic of labeled line drawings (which never seemed to bear any relevance to the real thing anyway), whereas from what I have seen of today's teaching methods, even videos are used. Surely this must at least raise questions to be asked & consequentially answered in the classroom?

However, I don't believe there are many that need to be told that they WERE circumcised - they've probably been aware of that from the earliest age of sexual curiosity (usually starting at about age 5, when they begin to develop peer groups). The thing that need to be explained is WHY - something that is far more difficult to justify.

 

That's a good point PineMan.

 

in the UK maybe, havign gone through it fairly recently in the U.S. there was at best a line drawing where you couldn't really tell, I graduated from high school without knowing I was cut or what circumcision was, may seem odd, but nudity is VERY secretive in the U.S. even gym classes don't change out at least at the schools I went to

as far as total sex education, they were rolled into "health classes" and the sex education part was abysmal

 

Wonder no more - your post was read and understood. Sometimes it is necessary to read between the lines.

For some of us at least, there is no real issue. Not to discount your plight or disparage your late realization, but the thing to glean is that your son will probably not have the same issue.

For most people, if one knows what circumcision is, they know whether they are circumcised or not. If you have your son circumcised, he will probably figure it out, at least during puberty.

Tell your putative son early in his life if it suits you.

 

Here’s what I told my seven year old son:

“Kid, remember when Mom took the dog to a veterinarian and had Fido’s testicles cut off?”

“Well, when you were a baby she took you to a doctor and had part of your penis cut off!”

 

I learned about it in Sex Ed class in high school. No skin over the head, so I must have been circumcised. Thank good I didn’t remember it.

Speaking about circumcision, I just have to tell you guys this story.

When I was in the military several years ago, I use to work the back gates of the base with the Philippine Air Force. At one gate, the kids from the local village use to play and we would talk with them. There were two brothers, Jerry and Terry that use to run up the street and get me pop and something to eat for a tip. They would always ask me questions and we’d joke with them.

Well, one afternoon I had just gotten to the gate and looked over, Terry (age about 11-12?) was taking a piss by the dumpster, which was common there. Now, I wasn’t looking at his dick, but as he turned around his dick was still out and it had something big and white wrapped around it. So, I ask him, “What the fuck is on your dick?” He stated, “ser-cum-se-son” in his native accent. It turned out that a doctor had come to the village and circumcised all the male boys (ages 0 – 15?) and wrapped a cloth around their dicks as a bandage. I’m sure if I were his age I wouldn’t want someone with a knife whittling on my pee pee.

Well, later, I was in the gate shack and looking at my new issue of Playboy. Well, Terry walked by and asked me what I was looking at. At that time, the devil popped into my head and without thinking what the results might be, I quickly picked up my Playboy and held up the “Center Fold”. Poor Terry quickly grabbed his dick and ran off yelling “Oh! No!, Oh! No!”

I quickly realized that I shouldn’t have done that and the consequences that it might have had caused Terry, but, for some reason, the devil made me do it.

It was funny though, the way he ran off holding his dick and yelling.
I guess you had to have been there. The Philippine Air Force guys were laughing about it.

 

If you really did this, you are one sick dude.

 

Is that a lay therapist's diagnosis?

I suppose that your recommendation would have been to lie to my son; but what would that have done to the trust factor in a few years when he discovered that most of the other boys in his gym class were unmutilated?

It is my opinion, as a lay sex poster, that you have some serious issues with your own circumcision.

I recommend that you accept the reality that you were circumcised and you must either live with the mutilation or start a restoration program. If you're unable to reconcile your emotions with the accomplished facts, then it might be best of you to seek the help of a professional sex therapist.




I love masturbating my unmutilated cock and riding the edge!

 

I really don't understand what the big deal about circumcision is. That's like saying "MAN, THEY TIED MY UMBILICAL CORD IN A KNOT AND IT FELL OFF... WAAAAAH, THEY MUTILATED ME"

Get over it.

 

Why is female leg and armpit hair so taboo in the American culture?
