Year born and are you circumcised or not!

Did you carry on the tradition with your own sons?

How old are sons and do they know the difference ?

1953, yes, and yes.

1948, very painful to retract foreskin and was circumcised at age 13. I'm glad I'm circumcised.

Born mid 70s. Foreskin removed age 7 due to phimosis.

Would certainly not have this done to kids unless there was a serious and urgent medical reason!

1958 and yes, I'm trimmed.

1973 and circumcised. There were not many foreskins that remained in the U.S.A. in the ‘70s. I do not have any sons but I would have had them circumcised if I had any.

Born in the fifties. Don't ever remember having a foreskin. Didn't know anything about them till I was older. If I had sons I would have left nature alone and let them decide about getting cut when older.

1944 London UK Not circumcised. Never considered it for my son born 1966.

1981, Wisconsin, USA, circumcised.

Mutilated by Francis Duncan, MD of Shenandoah Memorial Hospital on February 23, 1974 when I was two days old. If he weren’t dead and gone, I’d sue his ass into bankruptcy. If I could have my way, any parent who did this vile thing to their child would spend the next eighteen years in prison and the kids would live with adults sensible enough not to make their child’s healthy genitals bleed. Circumcision is child sexual abuse and needs to be dealt with accordingly. Feel differently? Don’t bother because nothing you can say will change my mind on this.

1945 UK. uncircumcised. No sons.

50’s, US, cut, sons are cut.

1976, circumcised, and no sons

Circumcised at 11

1959, cut, no male fruit of my loins.

1963 circumcised at 5 years old , no children

1958, circumcised and no known or unknown son.

Since I was circumcised at birth, I'm curious about how the guys who were old enough to remember it had it explained to them. Who told you what was going to happen, and what did they tell you? I suppose it's different in places where guys are rarely circumcised versus places where all boys get circumcised at a certain age.

@spbb I don't recall the explanations I was given, I guess something like a need to "fix" my penis without more precision! I know the decision was reached after trying to pull back on the skin to no avail. I certainly did not expect that end result! To that day I still remember my surprise!

1948…. I was cut at birth.

I first noticed “the difference” around 1956 at the YMCA where nude swimming was standard practice at the time. One guy had a “different” looking penis from the rest of us. When I asked my parents about this, I was told he was uncircumcised, a BIG word for an 8 year-old to digest! Virtually ALL guys in Michigan, where I lived at that time, were cut. I asked why were they circumcised? I was told that circumcised penises were easier to keep clean and had fewer infections. Today, at the age of 75, I have no real preference as to “cut, or uncut”. In fact, I actually like the appearance of both. For the record, my two sons, now grown adults, were cut at birth.

1961, yes, I’m butchered. I’ve fathered no boys.

It’s not a wonder I’ve spent my life with my hands on my penis, trying to protect it, trying to make it ejaculate/feel good, overcompensating for the torture I experienced in 1961.

Born in 1944, the last son of my parents, the first of their children to be born in a hospital. They decided to have me, (unlike my much older brothers) circumcised. We have two sons, both were circumcised at birth.

1988. Not circumcised. No kids but if we have boys we won’t be doing it.

Born in the usa, 1964, circumcised. Almost all the boys in my high school were also cut, saw most of them during jr. high and high school showers after gym. I loved seeing the uncut ones (only about 4 boys out of 200). If you are interested I have posted pics of mine in my albums

I am born in Norway in 1953. Not ciruncized since Norway did not have that treadition. Bur I nearly got cirumcized to fix phimosis. I avoided it by making a scene at the office of the doctor.

The problem got solved by stretching instead.

I repent that I did not do the same before having orthodontics. It did more harm than good.

My son is uncut.

My sub is from the mid 60's...he is cut.

Our son is early 20's...uncut.

1947 and trimmed like 99% of American males of the era. No son but I'd have him trimmed at birth

1971, yes, (for boarding school) no boys, but I would have had them circumcised

I was born in 1943 and I am not circumcised.

My recollection from my school days was the most boys were uncircumcised.

My son is uncircumcised.

The main criterion for circumcised / not circumcised seems to be American vs non American! I was shocked when I learned that in the US baby boys are routinely circumcised at birth for "hygiene" and, now, "tradition"!
