I worked for the state for awhile. One of my fellow Child Protective Services people was describing how our funds were sometimes used. She unabashedly and with complete nonchalance described using state funds "to get baby boys fixed." Her words, like babies boys are cattle or something. The state is the abuser with our tax dollars
Unfortunatly I think alot of people still have the "to get baby boys fixed" sorta attitude with regard to the practice of circumcision, that its just something that needs to be done and they don't give it any extra thought, I've encountered this many times, when I've tried to talk expectant parents out of the practice, especially single expectant moms...they don't even want to think about it or research it at all so they can make an informed decision on the matter...thats all I ask for is for the parents to make an informed decision on there own from looking at the facts...
This is crazy...was there any medical reason that the state was having it done? Or was it just like standard practice to have all the uncut boys cut? Was there ever a case that you know of where a parent would like return an adopted kid or refuse to take care of a foster kid if they were uncut?
I wonder if this is still common practice, in the way that states are hurting for money?
All I can say about where InChamad is from is they do it when the kid is between preschool and puberty, so at least the dick is bigger so they can see what they are doing better. However, some tribal areas still use a rock with a hole in it and a sharp razor. Still probably produces a looser circ than what I got in a Montana hospital.
Yea, I know in my baby book there is a note, where they took me in when I was just a few days old (I was born 7 weeks premature, and only weighed like 4 lbs 1 oz.) and they brought me back out from the circumcision room without completing the procedure as the doctor said it was to small, and to bring me back to the doctors in 6-8 weeks. Unfortunatly my parents took me back to get cut, which makes me really wonder as to why they did it, because this proves that they knew what they were taking me in to have done, so its not like it was done without my parents consent..
As I'm not sure exactly as to if I was circumcised in the hospital, or just the doctors office, though my theory goes more for doctors office, since I believe that the plasti bell or something similar was used since there was a note about a plastic ring that I saw somewhere, and I think this is why I have a looser cut, than alot of guys that were cut in the hospital right after birth most likely by the gomco, though at times I wish I was cut so I would look like everyone else, but then other times I'm glad I have some extra skin...though I can't honestly say if it was always as loose as it is now, since the first pic i ever took of it was like my senior year of high school, and I know that when I was in puberty that sometimes I would get sores/scabbing/scars on my penis when I would jack off super often, which as a young guy in puberty who hadn't yet discovered my true sexuality, I definitely jacked off ALOT...
Most abusers were victims themselves. The abuser insists to the victim that they love them and that even though it may be uncomfortable or even painful it's for their own good, andit's something that needn't be talked about with others. It's our secret.
I can totally see this side of the argument, It would be interesting to find out if any doctors who are uncircumcised preform the circumcision precedure except in extreme medical cases...
It's like you betray your culture/family to talk about it.
This is the way my parents made me feel when I tried to ask them about it...like I was the one that was doing something wrong by questioning what was done to me, and by seeking more information, which I never was able to obtain, such as why? or like who's idea it was? the doctors, my mom's, my dad's?
It was like I was breaking some secretive code of silence on the subject, like I wasn't suppose to notice or something, or they were just extremely embarrassed to discuss the male anatomy me with me in a mature way...
Sometimes I wonder how many guys are out there in the USA, and around the world that were cut at birth or in early childhood, and to this day still don't know that anything was done to them...like I didn't know anything about it at all until one day when some guys were making a joke about the subject like in jr. high or somewhere don't exactly remember when, and then I remember looking it up in the dictionary and encyclopedia as it was the days prior to the internet...And living in the midwest, i never officially think I saw an uncut cock except for 5 seconds one day in college, so I was glad to finally see some at my first naturist event in april...
