Thats not right

I had my little boy circumcised and they used a shot that numbed his area and the only part he cried at was keeping his legs down. He didn't feel a thing. I don't think this doctor did it the way they are supposed to. My doctor asked my husband to dip his finger in sugar water and put it in his mouth and my son was fine through the whole procedure. I am for circumcision because it is healthier for my son. Its not to look normal but it keeps it clean. This video is different than the experience I had and I am upset that someone would do that without anesthetic. Don't let this video affect your choice and make sure your baby gets anesthetic.

Keeping the penis clean is not a reason to circ
by: The Hip Chick

Hello and thank you for your comment,
While I believe circumcision is a personal decision, the idea of the penis being cleaner is only a myth. It is actually left more vulnerable and therefore not as hygienic.
See article:
Circumcision Myths
Myth #8: Circumcision makes the penis cleaner and more hygienic.

Fact: Circumcision removes the protective portion of mobile shaft skin, which is intended to cover the glans (head) of the penis. The glans is the internal portion of genitalia (for both genders). Circumcision artificially exposes and denudes this highly sensitive tissue, resulting in a buildup of keratin and a dry, densensitized part of the penis. And contrary to popular myth, more sensation does not lead tp control problems. Based on reports from men circumcised as adults, just the opposite is true. With more sensation, a man has better feedback and can better determine his proximity to the ?orgasmic threshold.?
