1) He loves playing and masturbating using his foreskin.

2) He looks much more handsome without it.

He is genuinely embarrassed how his penis looks yet loves how his foreskin feels. As his mom, I wish I had him circumcised long ago!

(There are other versions as well, such as the "PeePee TeePee," although I like the design of the 'Block better.) It is a washable sponge that looks somewhat akin to an athletic cup (only softer) and is placed over the penis when changing.</p> One thing that may have already been suggested for the ‘grapefruit squirt’ is the “Wee Block.” (There are other versions as well, such as the “PeePee TeePee,” although I like the design of the ‘Block better.)

We have just finished our own "birthday month" with sibs in same order as yours all tho a bit squeezed closer in ages, Sister 7 and Big Boy 5. Our Buddy is also unCut, no issues health or social except old fashioned Grannmomma (MY mother) got one line in 2 years ago when there was a seemingly ongoing generalized (whole body) sensitivity to stimulation (which gave us thoughts/fears about immunization side effects rather than issues about us "not doing the right thing" by him.) We have also been told to retract at bathtime which he has no problems -- let the fun begin! Enjoy every moment -- it really is a day-by-day eternity that does ZOOM on by !</p> Yes, congrats Dad, and Mom, and Big Sister.

Then Jeffrey was born early and wasn't able to have it done until near his discharge. It was funny, they asked us about it and my husband and I both kind of looked at each other; he was almost 3 months old at that point. The poor kid had enough crap done to him that it seemed silly to put him through anything more. <br /> So far he's two. You can't retract the foreskin yet and we've had no issues. <br /> Congrats on the new addition!! Boys are fabulous!<br /> </p> We were on the fence about what to do.

I read a bunch of literature about the risks of HIV during unprotected sex being significantly reduced with a circumcision, but I still stood by my original decision. I admit that I changed my mind (along with my wife) after hearing some first hand stories from other parents who could not get their kids to clean themselves properly (or the kids were unable to do so) and ended up having to be circumcised at the age of 12, when the procedure is more serious. With the unknowns of the future risks, the warnings we received, and my own "condition", we ended up going with the circumcision. I can testify that my son was fine, and is a very happy child.</p> I’m circumcised, but was planning to have my son (now 3 months) stay uncircumcised.
