Circumcision status same as father's?

Men, is your circumcision status the same as your father'? Do you know the reason it is the same or different?

Same. Jewish family.

My father is not and I am Catholic but have not idea why one and not other !!!!

My sub and our son are different. My sub had no say in what was done so he was cut, as was standard procedure in the day. We made the choice to not cut our son. Didn't have a doctor/hospital involved when he was born (he was a home birth by choice) so didn't go and get him cut.

Cut, same as Dad. Have no idea why.....

I'm cut and so was my father. Why? No, we're not Jewish so it's not for religious reasons. But I was born in the 1960's, and that's just what was generally done in the U.S. back then.

Yes it is. But my dad was circumcised in the army during WW II. I was born in the 50's and circumcision was a common practice.

Nobody was cut in our Catholic family, as far as I know, except my cousin for medical reasons. I suspect he was the first cut because my mother asked to see the result, out of curiosity, for she had never seen a circumcised penis, and she mentioned she had never heard of phimosis before and thought circumcision was only for Jews and Muslims.

We're both uncut

I am circumcised, my dad was not. According to him, I am circumcised because he did not want me to have to deal with the cleaning, etc. of foreskin.

My dad is circumcised - I'm not. As a young boy, he suffered from phimosis - luckily I didn't!

I am (now). But I have no idea whether my father was.And I didn't see my father naked. I suspect he may have been.

As to why I wasn't done at birth I have no idea. It was never discussed nor was anything to do with sex.

Ditto

I'm not 100% sure what my dad is. Probably uncut, but if he is, he has a very, very short foreskin.

I am not circumcised.

I never saw my father's penis, but I am certain he was not. We were British, and it just wasn't the norm. It wasn't till I emigrated to North America in the late 50s that I became aware of how prevalent circumcision was on this side of the Atlantic.

I'm certain my father was uncircumcised. I suspect that was just one of the reasons my parents didn't have circumcised. Another reason, I had a minor health issue after I was born which prohibited me from being circumcised. My pediatrician point of view: my foreskin retracted (loose) and my penis clean there was no health to be circumcised.

.

I saw my father's penis a fair few times growing up and was aware it looked different from mine. In my teens, I realised he was circumcised and I was left uncircumcised.

He was born in the 1950s, and I believe there were still some British people at that point who opted to have their boys circumcised - there was apparently a "class" aspect to having a circumcised penis - take a look at this article: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/comment/10201882/Circumcision-is-one-of-the-oddities-of-the-Royal-Family.html

It was never something we talked about - although I do remember him giving me a talk (I must have been 12 or so?) about it being important to pull back my foreskin in the shower - so our difference was obviously something he thought about.

The same, both uncut.

I know from what my mom told me that my father was circumcised and my brothers were to so they would look like my father.

Mashie

My father is but I am not. I'm not sure why I wasn't to be honest - I was born in the early 80s in the US when the rate was extremely high in my demographic. I do wish I had been, although not out of any desire to "match"

My dad is, as well as my brothers (my mom told me). I am pretty sure my nephews are as well.

Dad was cut, I am left natural-thank goodness.

I'm going to chime in here to say my husband and his father are both circumcised.

A year and a half ago when I was taking care my father-in-law after his surgery, I saw first hand what my mother-in-law found attractive. It looked yummy to me! 😁 😁 😁

Great to have fans like susy, Thanks.

Both cut. he said he had me cut since he was cut.

Nope. Dad was uncut. Born the tenth of ten children into a pretty poor family in 1918. I supposed that his mom and dad couldn't afford the extra $5 to have the doctor perform the act or that it just wasn't the norm. I was circumcised as an infant so that is "normal" for me. Glad, too.

My father and I are both circumcised. I suspect it was just done "just because."

I decided that my son would not suffer the same fate out of some misguided family or societal tradition.

Father was born in 1921 and was uncut, I was born in 1974 and was cut. Not that I saw it often but Dad's cock was nice... but I like being uncut personally.

I am cut, as well as my father... I too wish I wasn't circumcised. There's a much more natural fluidity with an uncircumcised penis that can't be replicated. Luckily, I have a little extra skin, and it's not too tight- my best friend When I was a kid had a real chop job. His penis almost looked painful when he was erect. I don't speak to him anymore, but have wondered if this caused him pain as an adult.

I say, just leave it alone!

I have a friend who was circumcised as an adult. He told me enjoyed sex much more before he was circumcised. I was circumcised as a baby, didn't have any say in the matter.

When my son was born, we decided not to have him circumcised, if he wants to have it done as an adult, it'll be up to him and his soon-to-be wife.
