    with my ex, our baby ended up being a girl, so I never got to see if he came around. He had a baby boy with his new wife last year and I asked "is he circumcized?" and he was incredulous, "are you joking!? Of course not! We talked about this remember?" I was like "oh. wow. okay then." he was like "who could DO that to a baby?" 
    LOL complete 360. And amnesia, apparently.

    @YaMrWhite‌ if you two agree on your anti-circ stance consider yourself lucky. There were certainly a lot of women on here yesterday whose husbands disagree for no other reason than the fact that it had been done to them.

    You keep assuming things about my husband. Not sure why. I haven't stated how he feels about circumcision.

    For all of you anti-circers using the "it's wrong to alter your baby's anatomy without his/her permission" argument, I hope you're not piercing your child's ears before he/she is old enough to make that decision for themselves.

    I'm not. I'm glad my parents gave me that choice

    Why not just go all the way and castrate him at birth? Penises are kinda yucky and then he can't get penis cancer at all! And less AIDS! Win!

    I don't go here, but I'm surprised no one addressed this particular ignorance. For someone who claims to have so much knowledge and done so much research in genitals, you do not understand what castration is. Castration (or orchiectomy) is the surgical removal of testicles, and as such would not affect the penis at all. So to say that someone who would circ should "go all the way" and castrate is ridiculous. I understand you were being hyperbolic, but at least understand the words you use.

    I'm not touching the AIDS portion of this comment.

    Thanks! Castration AND a penectomy!

    Hmm...I haven't found any major medical benefits to circumcise, neither do I find many risks to it. So, I pretty much lean toward not since I'm really cheap and wouldn't want to put money toward an unnecessary medical procedure. When I was working urology there was a case of an uncircumcised man being too arthritic to pull back and clean his foreskin and he ended up with a major infection he said nothing about until it was too late and his penis needed to be amputated. That pretty much sucks, but I note there were several preventative measures that could have prevented that and so do not blame his uncircumcised status for it. I blame his stubborn decision to not seek help before it got to that point.

    What you're describing is a 180. If he did a 360, he'd turn around and wind up back where he started. Sorry, but this irks the math teacher in me. :)
    That's probably what he did. He may have considered not doing it, but ended up still being a "cutter" and just told her no to avoid an argument.

    Haha yes I get corrected on this all the time yet for some reason it keeps slipping out. Thanks! You wouldn't know that I'm actually great at math ;)

    In my head I imagine a "complete turn around" which is why I think I keep using 360

    Not sure if anyone has corrected you on this yet (only gotten through 4 pages of this show), but castration is removal of the testicles not the penis...

    The more you know.

    I totally agree. I won't pierce my kids ears for exactly this reason.
