A judge in a case closely watched by those who oppose circumcision sided Tuesday with a divorced man who did not want his 9-year-old son to undergo the procedure.

Circuit Judge Jordan Kaplan said that circumcision is “an extraordinary medical procedure” for a 9-year-old and that the boy can decide for himself when he turns 18.

The boy’s father sued to block the operation in a dispute with his ex-wife. The couple’s 2003 divorce decree gave the father the right to be consulted before the boy underwent any “extraordinary” non-emergency procedure.

The father said he believed surgical removal of the boy’s foreskin could cause long-term physical and psychological harm. The child’s mother wanted the procedure to prevent recurring infections. She testified that the boy had suffered five bouts of painful inflammation and had begged her to help him.

Newborns in several mainstream religions are routinely circumcised as part of their faith, but religious beliefs did not figure in the ruling.

The Associated Press is not identifying the parents to protect the boy’s privacy.

Alan Toback, the father’s attorney, said the man is extremely happy with the judge’s decision. A telephone call to the mother’s attorney was not immediately returned.

Most U.S. newborn boys are circumcised. But a growing number of parents are opting against the surgery. The percentage of male babies circumcised has fallen from an estimated 90 percent in 1970 to about 60 percent today.

In a 1999 policy statement that was reaffirmed this year, the American Academy of Pediatrics said there are “potential medical benefits” to circumcision, including a reduction in risk of urinary tract infections. But the academy said there is not enough evidence to recommend routine circumcision of newborns.

Dude, I'd take that to court too. NINE years old? That's insane, screw that.

that mother needs to be b-slapped for that.

certainly speaks volume of her baby-caring abilities and her ability to keep his pecker clean (let alone or stinking dyke man hole).... fucking bitch.

She's probably the same kinda pet owner that likes to remove balls from her male pets (if she's got any).

I disagree.

Penis has been through millions of years of evolution.

If there wasn't a need for it, then we'd be born without it.

Same with women and their piss flaps.

When the dick gets hard the foreskin pulls back, but leaves enough skin on the shaft so that it helps prevent chaffing in her coochie.

This helps prevent women from getting peehole infections.

It also helps them from getting their pissflaps from being stretched out over time.

I find it ironic that cut men try to pretend to know what it's like to be uncut.

Where uncut men can pretend to be cut by rolling their foreskin back.

sorta like when poor people make stupid statements of $$$ not making u happy.

or the "size don't matter"

with an uncut guy she won't chaff that easily.

It's also better for giving her butt secks...... no chaffing of the tender ass-gates.

Eatmyclutch wants to get his penis circumsized :rofl: ...
About that infection thing.. its the year 2006.. should'nt people have pretty good hygiene by now?

cutting the dick hood was for those dumbfucks that walked around in circles in the desert looking for GOD.

Since water was scare and there were no dogs to lick their dicks clean, they cut it off.

Mucho intelligent there.....

...but it was because she'd run dry.
Uh oh, sounds like you weren't doing a good job there chief ;)

sorta like when poor people make stupid statements of $$$ not making u happy.

It's true though. I was born into money, and the religion of money, called it crap, decided to live poor. Now I'm happy :)

Sure, I'd like to have money, but this is better.

LoL, y'know... You're the only dude I know with a self-proclaimed Ph.D in Penisology... Gotten to the point where if I see a thread about wangs, I know you're in it. :rofl:

It was in my pool, chlorine dries that shit out.... :(

Uncut penis can fuck in water..... cut can't.

Uncut penis has enough sextra skin that allows the shaft to glide in and out in a time of flood fucking....

^^That's right. Instead of a vigina it's like you're fucking your own penis. The skin stays put right? you just thrust away inside it? weird.

I can't say i've experianced it the caveman way, But I sure am glad I don't have one of those primitive, funny looking anteaters.

it's good for protecting the richard head from hungry wasps and thorns in the briar patch...

lol

I'd be more worried what the typical girls like over anything else when deciding what to do to my son.

I was quite suprised at the reaction of the girls when they taught this in Health class. all of them went "o rly? i gotta look at my boyfriends next time and find out!".

Ahaha those are some dumb bitches right there.

If they don't like it you can pull it back.

This can be a touchy subject for alot of men (and women), but I'll give it a go.

Basically, from what I understand, quite a bit is lost when a male is circumcised. I've done a decent amount of reading on it, but am not claiming to be any kind of guru.

- To start, the area of skin removed does (as previously mentioned in this thread) contain quite a few nerves and "muscles" used for proper functioning of the sheath. These nerves help to enhance sensation/stimulation.

- Secondly, the head of the penis becomes dried out and leathery, when in fact it is meant to be a smooth and moisturized gland (same as the clitoris on a female). This greatly reduces sensitivity and can lead to problems such as Erectile Dysfunction. Think of a woman's clit, and imagine the clitoral hood being surgically removed, causing the whole clit to stay exposed, dry out and chap up. That's basically what happens to a circumcised male.

- Third, the removal of this skin results in added friction during intercourse (and masturbation), and this actually leads to less pleasure for both, especially the woman, and increased need for artificial lubricants to deal with dryness due to the excess friction. The natural "gliding action" of a normal penis facilitates intercourse without the use of lubricant.


Not sure if many (any) of you are aware but it is possible (and easy) to regrow your foreskin naturally and non-surgically. While you won't regenerate any nerves or muscles, most of what you have lost is indeed restored. Quite a few people are doing it to enhance their sex lives and give their partners greater pleasure as well.


Just my $.02 on the subject.

WTF?? You've got my attention. My curiosity demands info, but if it involves weights in any way shape or form I might regret asking. :(

Well, the principle behind restoration is regeneration of skin cells and tissue. For this to occur, the skin must be stretched to some degree, which causes new skin cells to be formed over time. I'm probably bastardizing the explanation somewhat, but regardless the skin must be stretched, though gently and over time. This can be done with or without weights.

If you guys are "secure enough" to look at pics of other penises, you can find alot of useful information on restoration at http://www.restoringmen.net.

I'm uncut, but its not like my dick is wearing a turtleneck or anything. More like a collared shirt. There was one girl who even gave me head and she still wasn't sure if I was cut or not.

Either that kids father or that bitch of a mom needs to teach that boy how to bathe properly. I never had an issue with my penis and its foreskin.

Cut dick heads are a bunch of mummies...........

uncut! And proud.


I dunno what I'd do without my foreskin, it's a very important part of me.


Losing that would be like losing a hand.

Do uncut guys have more or less precum than normal?

More I think, I belive that it's called schmegma (sp*).

I pretended to be cut when I fuck by pulling hte 4skin back and boy, do I feel sorry for the cuts..........

Better to have than not to have.
